if you sell your clutter instead of giving it away...

where do you store it while you wait for somebody to buy it? I list loads of stuff for sale, regularly. I price stuff cheap in hope of quick sales but still find that sometimes it takes weeks to find a buyer.

my bedroom is overflowing and I am feeling overwhelmed by it Sad

I have a time limit. I try Gumtree for a quick sale. After a week I might stick it on EBay (for a 3 day auction) then it's down to the charity shop.

I still get burnt by the ebay bidders who win then say they can't collect for another week but I'm getting tougher and saying no to them Grin

I think I need to me more ruthless when giving stuff away.

DH is sorting his wardrobe today and 90% of it is going. I'm thinking of just sticking it all on the bed, taking a photo of it all and doing it as a car boot job lot? maybe £20 for the lot? its mostly good quality stuff like Fred Perry, bench etc so somebody could probably make a fair bit of cash if they sold it on.
There Is going to be a good few bin bags full.

or do you think £20 is too much to expect a quick sale?

haha its all being picked up tomorrow Grin

that's just the stuff from today though. Still a tonne of stuff I've listed previous that hasn't sold.

Will be sorting it over the next day or 2. may have to just give it away Sad
