Decided Today to Rid Myself of Stuff

Set up a table out front of our house and loaded it up with handbags.  Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Coach, Fossil and Vera Bradley.  Took in more $ thank I expected.  What a good day.

You must live in a very upscale neighborhood because in my middle class area people want bargains even if the handbag is like new and used once or twice and in beautiful pristine condition.  I have many such handbags and I don't want to use ebay due to their recent changes that allow them to access your checking account for fees and guaranteed refunds.  I refuse to sell my beautiful bags for $40 a piece at a yard sale because people are cheapskates.

@agb80 I would think $20 for any handbag is good at a garage sale.

I would love to unload a few handbags.  (Well, more than a few actually.)

It doesn't matter how like new, pristine condition something may be it's still used.  If you can get $40 for a used bag take it because that's not the norm.

I'm with you on hesitating to use eBay due to the changes. Garage sales not allowed in my neighborhood, so I mostly donate to charities or thrift shops. Sell some of my collectibles to antique shops for a tiny amount.....no market for collectibles these days.
