I have been on a big decluttering kick at my house. I've been trying to take at least one black trash bag of items to the thrift store to donate every week. Thankfully I made sure to scan or look up everything before putting it into the donate box. I found a squinkies set my son doesn't play with anymore that's selling for $40, that when I looked up last year was only selling for $4.
My mom also gave me a bunch of her "old lady" clothes, that I really didn't think were worth anything. But I looked them up and most will sell for $14-$20, which is great when they were free.
So far I have only been decluttering my house, but it was 86! degrees today so if the weather keeps this up I will be out working in my shop very soon. I really need to double check my listed inventory and purge some old stuff.
Before you throw it away or donate, double check to make sure it's not worth selling!

That's good advice. I've looked things up a second time that I thought I was going to donate and found they were selling for higher on this look up and ended up listing and selling them. That's a good feeling :) Enjoy your great weather!
