I'm moving house in a few months, but I have so much stuff in the house that I just don't have space for in my new place.
I don't really want to throw it away though, so any idea of how to get rid of it? I've never used ebay but wondered if anyone else thought this was a good way to get rid of things I no longer need? Any other ideas?
eBay is great, but if the item is bulky, or you just can't be bothered with the shipping process, donate it to freecycle. http://www.uk.freecycle.org/ This site is briliant - you can post your description of any itme, and then doubtless it will be found by someone who is looking for that very thing! You might even find a few treasures for your new place!
PS - make sure you put your location on your ad, so that you only get people who are in your local area, minimising pick up hassle.
I know you don't want to throw it away, but thought I'd add that some Councils do take away bulky items for householders. Where I live in N London the Council take away up to four bulky items a year (baths etc). You call them up and leave it outside your door. If things get really bad (you have a lot of junk that can't be recycled) you can get dudes to come and pick it up in a van (rather than by for a skip). I used these guys: www.anyjunk.co.uk
Mopsylouise is spot-on. Ebay is great for small items, collectors' items etc. Freecycle is a wonderful way of "recycling" things you no longer want but which others might be desparate for. I have used both and have had no bad experiences.
do a car boot, the season is cming and a carload of junk is someone elses treasure, we always do a few in the summer and raise £100 minimum every time, with everything from clothes, CDs, books, furniture, ornaments, general crap etc- and its good fun!
