Default Re: Freecycle or Garage Sale

Go to Goodwill and get some forms to itemize all your stuff. I used the Salvation Army's website for information on the fair market value of items. Then, itemize the stuff and take it to Goodwill and deduct from your taxes. With Freecycle, it is a nice concept but you get no deduction. And, if you have alot of stuff to get rid of it will take alot of time. When I declutter, I just want the stuff out of the house. I did a yard sale once and it was a big pain in the butt. You have to sort, put prices on everything, set up, etc. Just not for me. I just want the stuff gone. But, it depends if you are up for a yard sale or not. If so, it may be worth a try. But, I personally don't want strangers milling aroung my house.
