Throw out or keep??

RachelAnz

Hi everyone


When I was 13, many moons ago, I collected everything concerning Princess Diana. I'm much older now and having a major clear out.


I'm tempted to take the books that I have down to the local charity shop.


to sell on ebay at the moment, each book is worth about £15 but can I be bothered with all that? lol.


Should I save them in the hope that they'll increase in value over the years? What would you do?


Thanks :-)

Pointless asking me, I have a garage that is my domain, to keep stuff that I have been told to remove from the house.

If you have room, keep. When you HAVE to let go, work out all the costs...time/money.

There is a couple living at Gloucester that run the "Diana Circle", or a similar name. I do not know if this is still operational for the gent passed away a short while ago.

I suggest you search this out and seek their opinion on values, or donate the items to them.

you'll be long gone before they are worth anything .. recycling bin

Thanks everyone.


Thrown the lot out, well I've left them in a covered/sealed bag for the charity shop.


Now, tapes. Music tapes. Very old of course. What would you do? I like the music, but, tapes??

bin, download from youtube, or if you have the patience of a saint and there is the smallest chance you'll ever use them again, digitise

Thanks for this. If I'd known earlier I might have done so but today is one of those days, I'm just in declutter mode. No offence to Princess Diana, but these are only books.

And what about video tapes??


My whole set of Red Dwarf is in video tape format! What am I going to do? I could do with the book shelf space by getting rid of them, but I love Red Dwarf, lol. (not that I can play these video tapes)

plug cassette player/walkman into laptop/pc, open sound recorder, hit record.

or buy a walkman style usb device to do the same, £10 on amazon

between now and death, how many times do you think you'll ever look at these things again, they are probably on youtube, or available on dvd if you feel the urge.
