Default Re: Why it's so hard to convert purchased "stuff" back into cash

Do any of your watch Clean Sweep on HGTV or Clean House on Style? Their garage sales always bring big bucks. Mine never do...I thought it was just me. There are certain items that will sell at garage sales if you mark them down really cheap, but other stuff just sits. Finally, I decided it wasn't worth storing any more and was too junky to donate to a charity, so I took the boxes of junk to a local auction. Since it had been through a garage sale the auction house fee was 50% which I thought was pricey, but beat throwing the stuff away and putting it the landfill. I did realize about $30 over a vanload of junk.
