Time:  Selling on ebay
ebay Is it worth selling on ebay?

Before spending the time and effort to sell an item on ebay, ask yourself the following:

 

1.  How long will it really take?  You need to photograph the item, post the listing, answer questions, wait for payment, pack and ship.

 

2.  What will I get for my item?

Using the Advanced Search feature enables you to see what your item has sold for recently.  This will give you a good idea of what you can expect from your auction.  

 

3.  What will it cost me?

You need to factor in selling costs, Paypal expenses, and what your time is worth.

 

Selling on ebay can be a great option.  Items are more likely to sell if they are 'searchable' and are a brand name or specific style.
Home & Office:  Downsizing
 

The social workers, geriatricians, retirement community administrators and family members he's been talking to since 2002 universally believe this: 

 

The sheer volume of objects in a typical household, the enormous physical and cognitive effort involved in sorting out what's essential, the psychological toll of parting with what's disposable - all can lead to a kind of paralysis that keeps seniors in place, even when the place isn't the best place.

 

This is important to remember whether you are a senior or if you are dealing with elderly parents.  And for those who are younger, creating the habit of de-cluttering will serve you well as you age.
