Consignment check and purging challenge

I picked up the unsold clothing and my check from the semi annual Kids Market yesterday. I made $192.00 and have just a few things that did not sell.

We are having a garage sale in a couple of weeks and I will reduce them for that. I am also clearing out all my stash of free or cheap after rebate toiletries and medicines. This coming week I am going to list a few items on Craigslist to sell before the garage sale- if they do not go on Craigslist I will sell them at the garage sale. I figured I could get a better deal on Craigslist.

I have a vanity that I bought for $20 at a garage sale. We don't have anywhere for it here. I have it in the upstairs hallway with a big mirror over it but I would rather get money for it than hold on to it. I think I can recoup my $20. My husband has his truck liner and a ladder to sell. I also have a 35MM camera with a zoom lens. I picked up a box off the side of the road when we delivered papers in Florida. This was trash from a $400K house, so Yuppie trash, okay? It had the camera and lens in it, my tapestry curtains hanging in my family room now, my daughters hot pink comforter still in the bag, a George Forman grill, and other nice stuff along with their tax records- he made $75K in 1986 and a South Carolina drivers liscense for her.Don't judge me for looking at his tax records- I am very curious. I also peek in peoples showers when I go to their bathroom. Love it when I find toys and a little mess- makes me feel better.

Anyone else finding things to get rid of? I have so much stuff. I am not a pack rat- I will go through things and get rid of stuff that we haven't used. I can't stand messy closets and drawers. I do like to have a good stock of things we use like school supplies and clothes a size ahead and toiletries and food, I want my food! I have some items that I would like to purchase when I find a good deal like a food mill, pressure canner, storage boxes for my office. I love it when I don't have to really pay for them- just sell stuff to rebuy other things. Anyone wanta take a challenge to find $100 worth of items to sell in the next month?
