Challenges of apartment living.
Sorry for the light posting this week. I have been drowning in snot.
What do you do when you need to sell a bunch of stuff but don't have a yard/garage? The V and I need to get rid of a bunch of clothes, shoes, CDs, VHS tapes, DVDs, etc., but we don't have a way to have a garage sale. We had a big one before moving up here, but we've recently done some purging and have a bunch of stuff. We will also have a bunch of extra junk after the wedding (like old kitchen stuff that will be replaced with wedding presents). I know that we could cart items off to Buffalo Exchange, Movie Trading Company, and CD Source. I know we could also list stuff on eBay, half.com, and Dallas Craigslist. But I'd like to get it all done at once, you know? Just one Saturday morning... and everything is gone! Why doesn't Dallas have a citywide garage sale like Austin does? Or does it? I have done some searching online and I couldn't find anything.
And yes, I realize that we could donate this stuff. The thing is, we need the money. And anything that didn't sell would be donated. We hauled two carloads of stuff to Goodwill after our garage sale last year. Or maybe it was three carloads. Anyway, you get the idea. Part of the reason we want to get rid of this stuff is to help pay down our debt. We've already decided to give up our beloved downtown department when the lease is up so that we can find something cheaper (and maybe something with a freaking pool).
So, urbanites, do you have any suggestions?
