A Dollar At A Time....Getting Rid of the Unwanteds

At the estate auction Sunday I won just two lots. A table full of pots and pans for $35 was first. Most of it looks to be Revere ware. There were two blue Le Creuset skillets in there too. I am not sure what else. I haven't gotten to it yet but there are two huge plastic totes full & we should do well. The second lot was the contents of a child's toy room.  I wanted it because I spied several plush Disney character toys. I paid $50 for about 6 boxes of stuff plus the Fisher Price play kitchen. Before I got it packed some nice lady offered me $10 for two items that I didn't really want anyway. This left me just $40 in the red. Thanks, lady! 

When I got home and started pulling out what I could sell on eBay & throwing away the trash there was a huge Meeko raccoon, a Shrek, Shrek Donkey, Princess Fiona, & a Warner Bros Pepe La Pew. There is also a Playskool 3 color changing flashlight like this.  I nearly threw away a box of hats but at the last second looked them up and WHOA! (Post on this to come soon.)

What to do with the other stuff that was left? I no longer have a flea market booth. It costs too much, and is too much work to maintain. We had a lot of theft from our booth as well. Most of the time I don't miss it but it was a great place to dump items too nice to throw away but not worth enough to eBay. (or too big to ship easily.) 

My little town has a couple of very popular Facebook groups for selling and trading. I feel this is safer than Craigslist because I know nearly everyone that ends up buying from me. But I have sold on Craigslist before and will again I am sure. On our little Facebook group a lot of the items are at yard sale prices. That is fine with me I just want rid of this stuff. So far today I have sold these things:

 

I sold them cheap, I am out of storage room & I just want it gone. They went for a combined total of $31. I am just $9 shy of getting my money back on the lot. I still have several things to sell locally plus I haven't listed any of the things that I bought for eBay yet. I will be a very happy seller if I can make another $9 locally and start those listings owing nothing but eBay fees.
