TO GARAGE SALE OR NOT GARAGE SALE

         In a post the other day, I said I HAVE TO get John’s bedroom cleaned out. I believe I’ve posted before that he was a hoarder and saved all kinds of worthless stuff. What’s left in that room now may be stuff that’s worth something, but I’ll only find that out if I proceed to go through it all, do some research and figure out how and where to market these “valuables.”      
  
         Lately, I’ve been toying with the idea of holding a garage sale, perhaps the end of July or the beginning of August. It’s been a very long time since I held a garage sale and I had John to assist me then. I’m sure my sons would be happy to give me a hand on an as needed basis provided that basis wasn’t every weekend between now and July.

          Actually, I'm even toying with the idea of having a HUGE ESTATE sale and opening up the house in order to sell anything within that I haven't put aside for myself. This would be in preparation for selling the house and moving to someplace that wouldn't require the amount of hard work and care this house does. It would be a huge adjustment after living here for 51 years, but perhaps it's more than time for a change.

         Does anyone reading this out there have any advice they’d like to share about garage sales, getting rid of stuff, researching what stuff might be worth, or selling the home and its contents? I know I can google almost any item and get some kind of response. Still, it would be great to benefit from someone else’s experience.

          Come on now…the more advice and/or ideas the better. Thanks so very much in advance!!!
