I refuse to have garage or yard sales. As I seriously start to declutter (and there's is lots to get rid of) the absolute last thing I want to do to is haggle with someone who is asking if I'll take a quarter for something.

If I owned, used it and got everything I wanted out of something, I'd rather give it away to someone who really needs it. I have found 2 good sources to just give away stuff. There is a FB page called Buy Nothing The Villages, Florida, people post pictures or descriptions of the stuff they want gone and people resound with interest via Messenger. My 2nd go-to is freecycle.org.

Also for $10, you can request a bulk pickup that is billed directly to your monthly amenities bill. Good Luck.
