Packrats

[BLLDOGG]

Come September, I am moving 2hrs away into a dorm at my college and I have been going through my room to thin things out. In my closet, i have 2 large boxes of crap i have been collecting over the years like bad presents, useful things that aren't used anymore and so on and so on. My problem is that I am having a hard time throwing things away that I know i'll never want or need again but just the fact that it was given to me or that i spent good money on it makes it really hard to ditch. Anyone else have this problem that maybe you noticed when you have been moving around and such? it reminds me of a tech at my work who will not throw a single things awat he pulls off a car just incase he might need it. funny enough, i got something for my car one time from him that he kept just incase ;)

my Fiancé is the same way, he is packing his stuff up to move in with me and omg he has empty boxes from stuff that he bought, just "incase" he needs to return it. it's driven me nuts. i think that he has every stock item to his car. incase he wants to return it back to stock to sell it.

Me a packrat? Oh yeah, I have tons of old mid 80's Circus & Hit Parader, HOT ROD, Car Craft, Easyriders ( July 4th,1969 issue ) and a few collectible hardcore mens magazines stashed in boxes waiting to be either sold or re-read someday. It's like a time capsule of my youth and a goldmine to someone else. Still keeping it now that I'm learning more about Ebay's world of get rich quick money making tactics.

I plan to go through my closet this weekend and see what I can sell on ebay. If I think I can sell it I will also going through the garage for any stock parts. I hope to be moving in a couple of months once I find a job and any extra money and less crap to move is a good thing.
