Good luck Your house will feel so much better without so much stuff cluttering up the place too

Good luck trying to sell videos. Most people don't have a VCR any more so unless they are Disney or kids films (as some people put a video/tv combi in kids rooms/playrooms) you'll be hard pressed to get anyone to buy them. We couldn't even give ours away - the charity shops refuse them now as they know they can't sell them

Yeah I've had no interest at all in videos. Might just take them to the dump.

Harsh.... I'm getting huge inspiration from this thread, reading about the efforts people are putting in. Those sort of comments are neither helpful or wanted in my humblest of opinions of course.

This thread is giving me a bit of hope... I've been planning to do the same, but planning to do it all over the summer holidays, but had been warned off by a few people saying it's too time consuming for the return you get. this has given me the motivation to get started!

It is quite time consuming Little Cloud, especially when you start doing it and its unfamiliar and everything takes ages. You speed up quickly though and I have a good little system in place which takes me a few hours extra each week to prepare items for sale, upload pix and descriptions and wrap and send.

It is worth doing in my opinion. I've raised more than £1000+ since March. That's not income as its selling your own stuff off so its not taxable unless you are running a business. It is frustrating when good barely used items won't sell for a decent price, but its great when stuff which was just taking up space and collecting dust sells for more than you thought. Overall though...you get to clear space in your home and top up the empty coffers a bit and it has helped me make big inroads to my debt. Others said to me it was too time consuming and I should do a car boot sale. You get next to nothing from those round here. This was a better option for me. I will probably carry on til the house is empty!!
