Old heavy furniture?
Yes I want all of it please!
I had to clean out my sister's house and property after she died. What a nightmare. It took forever as she was quite a hoarder. But she had a lot of nice clothes. A lot of the practical things I washed up and donated to the local nursing home. I knew many of the patients there ran out of clean sleepwear and day wear and get stuck in ratty old hospital gowns. The staff was delighted to receive the items. And I felt I'd brightened some patient's day.
Research if a historical society wants your old photographs.
Like the Jewish Museum in NYC.
And documents
I see very little demand for quality wood antiques. Younger folks seem to like trendy, poorly made stuff, which is a shame. Or they want to piant beautiful walnut, cherry, and mahogany pieces, which should be a crime.
It is amazing some of the things people leave behind.
+Amy Hayslett Realtor right?! LOL
Good information. Just because the seller thinks they paid so much for an item, they believe others want them. Not so much:)
+Horizon Real Estate & Probate and Trust Help very true! Another reason to hang on to relationships & memories but release the “stuff!”
My Rolex is something I’ll hang on to.
All they will want is cash.
This is so true. I have so many items saved from family and my kids don't want any of it.
+Lauri Howes RE Broker I hear you!! It’s common!!
my son has no room for anything and my dtr is a minimalist...so what I have collected over the years will never be wanted by them yet I think they have some value....sadly, I am no good at marketing or selling....
You did a great job hitting on things people overlook, but you are so right. Downsizing is emotional, but beginning to detach can be helpful for ALL involved, including the owner of all of these items
+Alyson Wahl yes!! So true! Thx for watching 😊
I have a set of china that my mother bought when we were overseas. My oldest said he didn’t want it at first, after really looking at the pattern he changed his mind. It’s rather plain and you can buy replacements online still although they are pricey.
Not poor; just a different lifestyle. I’m 60 so I get where you’re coming from. But I’ve told my adult kids to tell me what they want so they have lovely memories not being burdened by dust collectors
Great points about an often TOUCHY subject! :)
+Wise Move AZ thx! Appreciate you watching ☺️
Recycling is the answer for most magazines. Donating to a thrift store works for much of the rest.
There are hospital thrift shops and charity thrift stores.
Don’t confuse those with Good Will, that is NOT a nonprofit. The CEO makes a lot of money.
My thrift shops sells crsft, home, cooking magazines and recycles what they can't sell. I enjoy the decorsting, cooking, gsrdening, crafting etc. I then give them back yo be repurposed again. 😍😊😍
May be able to sell them in a garage sale, a lot of people look for items like this.
+Angela O'Hare - Las Vegas Realtor very true ☺️
My mom needs to watch this...she has too much stuff she tries to pawn off on me.
+Bill Olson - Your Charleston Realtor that’s a common problem! 😁
its not that we are "pawning" stuff off to you....we bought it and kept it because we thought it would be valuable for you....maybe we were wrong but our hearts were in the right spot.
Good info!
Many of us want the 19th century photos. And interesting books. Not best sellers or other mass market. I was lucky enough to inherit a collection of costume books from a friend.
Look....keep classic books....keep the non fiction and keep the highly touted fiction books....with our internet, everything will go digital and there will be NO record of history that can be relied on.....
My kids want my classic car, not much of anything else.
Also pianos!
Not true for everyone. My mom’s piano is the only thing I want from my parents’ house! But yes, you see pianos for free all the time, so not everyone feels like I do.
See if a school wants it for their music department.
Amish country !! yeah
+Tennessee Mountain Realtor that’s our home! 💕
+Tennessee Mountain Realtor 💕
I am dowsing!!!
chochkees..... I love it
+Tennessee Mountain Realtor lol
Jennifer, Books. My wifes fav. Hard for her to part with. She has multiple tubs full of Martha Stewart Living Mags.
I can't get rid of them either!
@@MarySchumann when I wanna make that woman happy I just bring her a pile of books...
+John Cunningham eXp Realty Aw! Yup!
+Mary Schumann that’s my hardest one too. 😊
Didn't Martha Stewart wear an ankle bracelet-monitor? Why are we glorifying crooks?
My friend just sold her home last month with all the furniture, over the list price.
Why are the items I moved to storage for big sale next month worth $$$$ and are on ebay ?
90 % of what you have is worthless ask yourself men would you buy it out of need.
It's all junk. Trash. I've been a Landlord for 42 years. Trust me. All your stuff has no value and it's going to the landfill.
You are so Wrong about beautiful heavy wood furniture in great shape…. You must be assuming most home buyers are dumb. Bye
Some stuff she said is yrue. Rest is BULLSHIT!
I get invited to peoples homes for a fancy meal lately.... these kids should be ashamed. They dont even have a set of china or silver to host dinner parties because they threw it away. It screams poor!
A lot of new and very expensive homes in our market don't even have formal dining rooms. If people even have others over, it's often not in a dinner party setting. A surprising number of 20-30 year olds I've encountered can't even set a table, and they have appalling table manners to boot. Plus, their little monster spawns have to be plugged into an electronic device or they are bouncing of the walls.
I've offered all the kids in the extended family a stamp collection. No takers.
I like to donate stuff when appropriate. I often recommend estate type sales to folks that need to downsize. They may only get a dollars for something, but at least the buyer values the item.
