I can vouch for music magpie too.
I live in a big Victorian terraced house , I just wondered if your cellar is heated / well ventilated as things we kept in ours went a bit damp and mouldy in cooler months! x Good luck

How short are you of money, that's the question? If you have got a lot of sellable stuff you could look upon the time you would take to sell it as an extra part time job and see if you could make a decent hourly rate from it. You're going to have to sort it out to a certain extent anyway and yes, get rid of the real junk to the dump and low value things to the CSs but it is often worth taking the time to do the ebay thing for high value items. Toys go especially well at this time of year for example, if they're good quality and in good condition.
