It is sad to have to sell things like that - you are lucky in a way to have large value items to sell.... My stuff would be a £1 DVD here and there kind of thing! My only jewellery of value was stolen long ago!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Hiya Mrs CMR
It is hard to part with items of sentimental value. I am still waiting for monies to come from an auction where some furniture which was once my grannys is up for grabs. I wouldn't be selling it if I didn't want to get ahead of myself and be out of this situation. Similarly, I am in the process of selling 15 limited edition prints that I collected with my dh during our 18 years together, but again it is to move my df date nearer, and I can always buy them again when I have the money to do so after all debt pd off. Thats how I rationalise dealing with these things!! I thank on high that I have things like this to sell!
Hope Avon goes well. I picked up another big Kleeneze order yesterday of £275 from just one customer so the money is out there. I dont know if you know but shopping from home is the fastest growing sector in the industry right now so you are in the right place! Good luck with that. Take careMy debts at LBM (2009)Grand Total £161,983.77.(Incs everything, mtge, cr cards, loans)
May 2013 £124,080.27= £37,903.50 paid off WOW!!!!! Well done! There is a guardian angel out there! :AI'm visualising success, debt freeness, and happy days!:T0 -

Hi mrsmcr
My first post ever and had to make up silly name quickly. Just wanted to say that i recently bought euros from an online broker and noticed that they are also stating that they buy out dated currencies so perhaps they will be able to offer you something for the Lira. They are called crown currency exchange, hope this does not break any rules. I have no connection other than as a customer. Hope this helps...best wishes Dee0 -
