Definitely a great way to clean out a garage. A good chunk of the above list is from last summer - just before our last move.Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-51024796205770930242013-05-17T20:56:35.500-07:002013-05-17T20:56:35.500-07:00Yes, all excellent options for buying and selling ...Yes, all excellent options for buying and selling second-hand. I definitely frequent thrift stores regularly. No fabulous consignment stores near me. Of course I also get lots of hand-me-downs free and give away plenty to friends. I've done a few garage sales -- they are a lot of work, but as you say, you do all the work at once. Selling/ buying via Craig's List definitely takes some time too.Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-57026155323350877302013-05-16T11:05:11.077-07:002013-05-16T11:05:11.077-07:00I'm looking forward to your post of tips for s...I'm looking forward to your post of tips for selling on Craig's List. I've bought quite a few things but have never tried selling. I plan on cleaning out my garage this summer (getting rid of baby stuff) and I hope to sell things this way.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05829640273094556446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-58886434320189607492013-05-16T10:53:35.780-07:002013-05-16T10:53:35.780-07:00Hi Betsy,

I have found other ways to unload stuff--we just had our first yard sale in NJ, but we had other yard sales in PA. I just prefer to unload everything at once. Here's the post about the yard sale and what we learned from it, in case you're interested: http://www.joyfullygreen.com/2013/05/lessons-from-a-yard-sale.html. As for buying and selling kids' stuff, there are two excellent, local consignment shops I work with. (I need to write a post about that soon...thanks for reminding me!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
