the responsibility of stuff

another day, another trip to the post office. we have been posting stuff on ebay, we did a big post a few weeks ago, and we did a MEGA post this weekend, with jak posting tons of volvo car parts, and i posted a few random items as well. i have been selling books on amazon for months, and it feels like i go to the damn post office every other day.

we have been doing some major editing for our upcoming move, and we have designated an area in the basement for boxes full of junk and furniture that we will be selling at our garage sale next weekend.

in this disposable culture, i somehow feel like it is my responsibility to make every attempt to find another user for the stuff we don't need anymore, and as a capitalist, i would like a buck or two for my efforts :). it is time consuming to sell and ship and organize, but it feels kind of good. it feels better then driving truckloads of stuff to the dump, or the goodwill.
