From junk to riches

I went thru my closet and possesions and listed a bunch of "crap"on ebay in the last couple of months. Stuff that I had and never used or used too little to justify a free ride ticket in our home. So there it went: some hi-end books of watches, almost new PSP with one game, 3 surefire flashlights, 2 coach bags (thanks Maria!), some photo props, computer stuff, etc, etc, etc... yes. It's a pain having to take the photos, host them, write the description and place the ad on ebay... but after that... we just sit and enjoy the goodies! I'm not going to tell you how much I got from the auctions but this is what I bought: a 36" Saarinen by Knoll table for the breakfast area and 3 late vintage chrome Bertoia (what else) chairs. Yes, it was worth all the hassle. So if you have a lot of junk at home. Sell it and get some more junk!
