I have recently found out that my elderly mother is leaving the house and property to my single brother who has lived with her all of his life. My part that is stated in the will is that when he decides to sell the house I get 1/2 of the junk and I mean junk that is in the house. There are some good pieces…sterling, 2 antique bedroom sets, china and some brick a brack. I really do not want this stuff. I have told my brother…just keep it all. He says no, mother wants you to have a share of her stuff. A lot of this junk is broken.
Any thoughts?

Best I can tell you on this is that you would be absolutely shocked at some of the stuff that other people want.

Its no comment on other people, its just another proof that “Beauty (or functionaly or usefulness) is in the eye of the beholder.”

Don’t forget to mention Freecycle (http://www.freecycle.org/). No trading needed, just give up what you don’t need and find things you can use for free.

I’m presently overloaded with stuff to put up on eBay and Craigslist. I like the swapping approach better, but wonder if it doesn’t conflict with my goal of simplifying my “piles-of-crap-I-don’t-need” lifestyle. Perhaps after I’ve thinned out the collection a bit with eBay-ing, I’ll look into it. I agree: much better than just eating up landfill space.

I am in the process of swapping books right now with a friend. Makes so much sense to do it.
