This has made up my mind for me. My husband died three years ago. We we married 58+ years and he spent 12+ years in the Navy. Everywhere he went he bought souvenirs and I have almost everything. I was a serious sewer and crafter to so I have a storage unit that I’m paying $155 months and had another that was $65. Gradually we emptied the smaller one. Sold some things but not enough to make a big dent. We, my daughter and I had an all day yard sale and made $200. I’d rather donate it that for people to talk me down to $1 or$2 on my nice things. I will start loading up my van tomorrow.

[@patriciaaxton9323]

I'm in an apt.so I have to sell things at a local flea market. People annoy me when they want something for $.50 - $1.00. I feel the same way about donating and not dealing with cheap people. I used to tell them for what they offered me, I may as well take it home.

[@debk9889]

Its got to be hard to get rid of the life long collections, but I agree that donating it will give someone more appreciation than the hours you spent rummage selling for $200. I ran 2 rummage sales in my life, and no more. Not worth the loss of the days. Never forget, keep the memories, not all the things. Gotta keep a few momentos though. 😊

[@tiktok11150]

In the future, take it to a local auction and have them sell it for you. Some auction companies will come to your location and give a cash offer then haul it off for you and sell it for themselves. Yard sales will never give you market price for anything and should be the last effort to sell before going to the dump or donation. If you can take a tax write off then donation would be the best way to go.

[@kimberlyheckler8453]

I think it's great that y'all give back personal items that you could throw away. It's bad enough that people go through hard times, but it always makes me smile when i hear the buyers say, "We'll give these back to the owner." It shows respect for the persons loss. Thank you for all you do! Good luck in all of your endeavors! ❤

[@savannalong8865]

It really is awesome! I do it to! I could not live with myself knowing that I took someone’s personal belongings and didn’t try to give them back. So many facilities have told me that most people who win these auctions do not return the items and 4 out of the 5 facilities that I just bought from said they don’t even want you to leave their personal belongings behind with them, because they have been trying for months to get in contact with the owners. I still return them because I do not want that to fall back on me but it is just sad especially when someone’s whole life is in a unit.

Our next door neighbor when I was a kid gave me a bunch of old Christmas cards, an aluminum tree, and lots of decorations and lights. He had seen we hadn't put up a Christmas tree. My dad was dug Graves and it was winter tome and he had very little work. We had to use tape to fix the branches. My mom was so mad at me , for a long time. So I took the tree and decorations to school to share with my classmates.

Hey guys I just started watching y’all, I retired from medical where I took care of dementia patients. The last lady I took care of I actually moved in with the last 7 years of her life bc her family couldn’t & they paid me well. They asked me in that time to go through her home and clean out closets, drawers etc.. she collected plastic bags, cardboard, boxes, cards, letters, empty containers, empty bottles, bottle caps, plastic lids, etc. etc. etc. it was part of her disease. So that may be part of what you’re finding in her storage unit.they are sort of hoarders in a way! her family could not believe what I found & she was not a crafter. She’s gone now, 98 years old, such a delightful lady! She also had beautiful things as well. I am a crafter and I do have a Mary Englebred print in my craft room lol Love your videos keep it up!!

[@charlottecramer3221]

This woman wasn't a hoarder of things. She was an artist. Hoarders don't label boxes "mosaics" and she had too much jewelry beads and chains and clasps to just collect stuff. She actually made things in my opinion.
