Tried to sell my books online!
I am excited today! We just cleared out about 10 boxes of books out of our upstairs. I was trying to sell them online but that didn't work out so well. Takes too long and I need and want the space. So I posted them on Freecycle and have had a lot of people wanting them. A woman is coming this morning for them. I only posted one box yesterday and then asked her if she would take more than one. She said yes. Well, she might not want all of them! If not, I had other people request them. While I was writing this she came and she took them all!
Utility Trailer
Last week I posted our little utility trailer on Freecycle too. I was swamped with emails about that! It seemed everyone wanted it. Two men came and got it and now that is out of our driveway. It had been setting out back by the woods and I wanted it gone. I hate seeing old things not being used sitting around outside. So my husband moved it to the driveway because his son wanted it. Well, it sat here all summer. So I offered it to my Freecycle group. It is gone.....
Supplies from Alice!
Now I order from Alice every month all our household supplies. It is just so much easier for me than to spend my time trying to walk through the stores. Looking for the brands or products I want. Well, Alice usually has it and I keep my products on a list and it takes me about ten minutes to place the order. The prices are comparable to Walmart and I am happy with this arrangement. If I don't place my order, I am always sorry when I run out of something. Anyway, Alice ships everything in these awesome boxes. I did not have the heart to throw them away. I offered them on Freecycle and now I have a nice man who will take them off my hands anytime they build up.
So now I am all done with selling books and used products online. I will only sell our strings, my own eBooks and photos. On Lupe Shop, I sell for a few distributors, but am working on those products. I am not happy with the products I have on there at the moment. I have made room upstairs to better organize our area for the guitar strings. I think I will work up there today.

I got a fridge this week from Freecycle for our garden group that I blogged about. And I gave my daughters Porta-Cot away. I love Freecycle.
Are you not going to sell books anymore? I find books sales have slowed right down. More and more people are going for ebooks.
Glad you were able to find homes for the "clutter"! I've really got to start working on my clutter around the house. It's very "heavy" on the mind sometimes just having all that stuff around.
Freecycle is so cool.....
I am enjoying getting to know you...

Freecycle is awesome!
I will have to look into Freecycle.
It's a great feeling to get things cleaned out!
It is. This way they don't go to waste either. So if I was having to throw out my books, I'd feel sad about that and keep them instead. Now this way these people actually want them! So I am helping them out too.
