Scrapping The Junk
I thought of one way to get rid of my junk, by taking it to the Salvation Army - aka Sally Anns, aka Starvation Army (am I going to get some complaints on that one?).
MR.BIG reminded me that they don't take furniture, and they can be picky about what you leave them in terms of clothing and other small goods. So, I've come up with a good excuse for why I have so much to give away:
My 82 year old grandma is a little senile and thinks I'm a little girl still, so she gave me some kids clothing to wear. She's also moving out of her house and into a retirement home, and she has to downsize, so she gave me cups, glasses, and plates for my home, but I already have too many from the last time she downsized. Further, she doesn't know what this microwave is that I gave her last Christmas, and she offered to give it back to me. It's brand new (full of splattered food inside), never been used, so I'm sure some needy person will be happy with it. And, here, this stand would go nicely with the microwave, so maybe you could sell it as some sort of combo deal.
Do you think they'll buy it?

Hey,
There is always the ebay thing, serious, one mass sale off, then just trash what doesnt sell.

I'm sure you'd need to clean the spattered food out, first, though.

We've started a new thing at Circleofjerk.org, "Dial-a-Jerk". We set up a voicemail so visitors can call us, leave a message and then we post it for others to download. Right now, Jay is having menstrual problems or something. Someone please call him and tell him how to get rid of the cramps or whatever the fuck he has :D

Call it a garage or yard sale. Anything under the sun sells at those things.
