[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My biggest problem is figuring out to do with things I know have some value, to someone, and don't know what to do with the items.

For example, I lived overseas and bought handmade carpets, including ones made of silk. I need to downsize and have no problem letting go of them, but I cringe when I picture a silk handmade carpet thrown in a heap at a thrift store.

I guess I could try to sell them on Ebay but it seems too daunting a task for some larger things. [/quote]

I know I sound harsh, but no one is going to value these carpets the way you do.    You have some emotional attachment/value to them because they bring you memories of your times overseas.   Also you got to pick those carpets, out of a sea of carpets, because you liked their colors, patterns, etc.

Most people don't value quality.   "Fast fashion" and "fast furniture" etc. is what people are after now.  You might be able to give them away, or possibly sell them for an extremely low price.  But you will not get even a fraction of their value.
