Getting Rid of Unwanted Items When You Live In An Apartment

RE: Getting Rid of Unwanted Items When You Live In An Apartm By ohioladie2006 (Guest Post) if you would like to just give them away check out freecycle.org they are a great site i use it all of the time Posted on 05/11/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting Rid of Unwanted Items When You Live In An Apartment By CF (Guest Post) Get in on a house-dwelling friend's yard sale. Here's the way I've successfully kept clutter at bay in my small apartment for the last 3 years. I bring my stuff to a multi-family yard sale twice a year, hosted by a home-owning friend in a nearby neighborhood. Her sale can be seen from the busy intersection nearby, so we don't even need to advertise. We haul stuff over the night before, get up early to help each other set up (and keep the early birds at bay), and help each other get the leftovers to Salvation Army or Goodwill at the end of the day.

I have sold some items that were "too good to just give away" on there.

While giving your stuff to thrift stores won't get you any money up front, you may be able to take it as a tax deduction if you itemize on your return. Just make sure you keep a list of all the items you give (25 women's blouses, 14 glass vases, etc.), and make an estimate of how much each item would be worth in the resale market (usually about half to 1/3 of the retail cost). The advantage of thrift stores is that you don't have to take the time to haul, set up, monitor, and take down all the unsold things like you would if you were doing a garage sale. Your time is worth money too! Good luck! Posted on 03/31/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting Rid of Unwanted Items When You Live In An Apartment By MamaJude (48) Blog! Contact Check with your local thrift stores. Tell them you are giving them away to them and don't expect any money back from their sales. I'll bet you will get rid of a ton of stuff that way. I live in a very small town and we can put things on the boulevards. Since the boulevard is owned by the city, anything sitting on it is up for grabs for anyone who wants to haul it away. Good luck to you.

I know there are some flea markets inside too. But, the fee is higher. I've noticed small items are very popular with the shoppers. Also group price things, that is popular also. I know some folks use ebay. Also, is it possible to "share" a yardsale with a friend or relative at their place?

They didn't have to haul anything away!! Worked great!!

These are a great way to get rid of unwanted household items & to sell crafts. There's usually only a small fee per stall.
