At this point, potlach seems the best option.

We're beginning the long-delayed Spring Cleaning here at Offhand Manor. "Long delayed" as in we've been putting it off for several springs. The problem is we're both packrats and not too diligent about cleaning. So there are quite literal mountains of crap, some of which has been carried through several moves, waiting to be addressed.

This morning we took our recycling down and we're pleased to learn that they now accept e-waste. That will take care of the old computer monitor and TV. We've already filled a couple of bags with clothes for Goodwill, and will most likely be bringing several boxes of books for them as well. I'm going to go through my gaming materials and see what I don't want/need anymore and put that up on eBay. I'm not expecting to get rich, just get rid of it and bring in a little cash. We'll probably go through the CD/DVD collection and see what we want to take to Streetlight for store credit.

The idea is to reduce the amount of sheer crap that chokes our lives. I just looked in the bookshelf on my computer desk and the first thing I saw was the user guide for Norton SystemWorks 2004. I'm almost afraid to move it and see what other paleosoftware guides lurk back there.

Right now, I'm focusing on doing a ton of laundry. Getting everything clean, folded, and either put away or bagged for donation will do wonders for the bedroom mess.

Hey, madelineusher.. want a complete set of Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition core rulebooks? (PHB, DMG, MM)

What reason would I ever have to say no to that? :D

If you itemize your taxes, do NOT forget to figure out the value of those donations and to get a donation slip. Its not much, but it helps. (Think of it as free beer)

As I've not really used eBay for anything, could you provide a link to your stuff after you've put it there? I seem to have trouble searching the site.

Not that I really *need* more gaming stuff, but there might be something. If you're willing to deliver to Finland, that is.

At least I've learned to throw stuff away when moving - now we're comfortably somewhat less cluttered than before the last move.

user guide for Norton SystemWorks 2004

Heh, I still have guides for MS DOS 3.3 and Win 3.1 on my shelf...

I still have the owners manual for a Tadpole Sparcbook, many *many* books on obsolete versions of UNIX, at at least one book on how to use MacOS 7.1. I think it's time to throw stuff away.

Well....

If you're offering to get rid of the books....I could take them off your hands....They will have a good home.:)
