Why are we selling?

Over the last few years we have moved several times. Each time we pack up our stuff, our multitude of books and move; and each time, boxes don't get unpacked. Things we can't live without stay in their boxes, so maybe we don't need them.

Maybe this is a carry-over from Greg. We tried to do a count of everywhere he's lived and at 40+ years of age he's probably moved 35+ times. That doesn't mean he's stopped collecting 'things', just that every so often he has this get-rid-of-things blow out.

Really, we don't need everything we have. We can live with fewer clothes, fewer books, and consequently less furniture. But we don't want to just throw it out, so gradually we are selling it all.

The ultimate goal is reduce our stuff enough that we don't need to have a storage unit when we head overseas for a few years.

Please come over to our blog site, check out what we have for sale and take it off our hands. Any offers will be considered, so don't be afraid to make an offer. Each item has a comments section and there's a Contact Us panel on the right side of the page.

($20.00) TV stand

The is a lounge room / TV stand. It's black and easy enough to move. It's years old and has been so many moves I've lost count. It's got chips and wear, but it's still solid and isn't bad way to hold up a TV. Anyone know a student?

($20.00) Bookcase: Short, wooden, some wear

So this one is a short, wooden bookcase. It's got some chips, but it's pretty solid. It used to hold our heavier books (note the bow in the shelves), but it's still alive so it must be good!

($2.00) Book: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Portal Through Time

A Buffy the vampire slayer book, Portal through time, by Alice Henderson. Before twilight, there was Buffy. This household prefers Buffy. $2 pickup.

($1.00) Book: Kidnapped

Classic tale from Robert Louis Stevenson, Kidnapped is set in 18th century Scotland, some years past the Jacobite rebellion.

($2.00) Book: The Count of Monte Cristo

($2.00) Book: Sick puppy

($20.00) Bookcase: tall, thin and wood

This bookcase has been with us for a few years. It's been through 5 moves and is still in fairly good nick. It has some small nicks and scrapes, but really it's lasted quite well. Space for quite tall books or dolls, larger items for display.

Price is $20.00 as a starting point but this is negotiable.

Item is located in south-eastern Brisbane and is pick-up only.

($20.00) Display unit: it's a ladder?

We bought this years ago as a way to display some of our knick-knacks. With less 'stuff' we have less need for display space. Surely someone wants to show their 'stuff' off?

Price is $20.00 as a starting point but this is negotiable.

Item is located in south-eastern Brisbane and is pick-up only.

($1.00) Book: Shooting gallery

Book for sale

Shooting gallery by Hailey Lind. $1. If it needs to be posted, additional shipping costs will apply

($30.00) Bookcase: tall, thin, it's made of wood...

Not sure what else I can say. It's a bookcase, it's made of wood and it's in pretty good condition. It'a about 180cm tall and around 45cm wide.

Price is $30.00 as a starting point but this is negotiable.

Item is located in south-eastern Brisbane and is pick-up only.
