I have never seen so many cables, old HD’s, thumbnail drives, computer repair tools in my life. We could star on an episode of computer hoarders:)

We are downsizing so all this stuff gets to go! On the plus side, my husband found an extra charger,cable & earbuds for my iPhone, lol, that comes with us. :)

After 11 years you accumulate a LOT of stuff you forget you even have!

But...my cats get to move with us, something I am so grateful for. I love my fur children :) I cannot tell you how devastated I would have been if I needed to rehire them :(

Without a doubt, moving sucks!

Just think when I was in college all of my stuff fit in the trunk of a Chrysler Cordoba, and that included the stereo speakers. Back then bigger was better.

Ha! I cleaned out the area near my bed and found 20 phones and 7 tablets! And that was literally just the immediate area surrounding my bed! And I have photographic proof!

I can identify, gearing up for a cross country move has me deciding that a lot of this stuff just isn't worth hanging onto. Last week I ran across some SDRAM, a PCI ethernet card, and an AMD K6 processor.


...and then I went on ebay and saw people are actually buying K6s...

us too.
We're probably gonna toss almost half our stuff because its just not worth putting on a truck and hauling hundreds of miles.

oh, and whenever we get settled in, I'm finding myself a husky and a beagle and I'm finally gonna have some real friends.

Pretty sure the only time I would ever move all my shit any substantial distance (E.g. to a different city/state) I would only do it an employer was paying for it.

Is there a "for sale" thread associated with the hoard that has to go?
I know you dont have enough time, so maybe thats not a realistic option, but, maybe you can get a few bucks for some of the stuff?
