What would you sell first

That's a pretty tough one; my wife and I just bought a condo and I have to admit it's not as furnished or full of things of value, so I really don't know. I guess it'd depend on how much money I needed, but the general list would be: 1.) Our video game systems; my XBox 360 and my wife's Nintendo Wii; I guess we could do without them, although the XBox also doubles as our DVD player right now. 2.) My desktop computer; I spend a lot of money building that thing, but at the same time I'd have to say that it's worth a lot still, so it might fetch the most value if I had to sell something. 3.) My youth baseball card collection; I've collected sports cards since I was a young boy and my collection is probably worth a few hundred bucks, so I'd think that I could get a pretty good value for them.

The very first thing I'd sell is the ATV my husband bought me for Christmas last year. When I saw him bring that thing home, I couldn't believe it! I had mentioned that I wanted a rider mower since about 2/3 of our 3 acres is grassy. There's NO WAY I'd consider mowing that grass with a push-mower, even if it was one of those that "walked" itself! Nope! There's a bit of a difference between a rider mower and an ATV! I'm not the adventurous kind anymore. I think he bought it for himself, actually. He does that... he'll buy something HE wants and tell me it's for me, knowing full well I won't touch it! Anyway, that's the first to go. The second would be the robo-mower I bought HIM for Christmas last year. We used it once. It works, sure, and it's really neat to watch it meandering around by itself, cutting the grass. It's even much quieter than a rider mower. BUT, he still wasn't cutting the grass. He's an indoors kinda guy. I'M the gardener in the family. So, I went out and bought myself a rider mower because that's what I've wanted all along! I ADORE my rider mower! So, the robo-mower would be the second thing to go. Let's see... third... hmmm. Ah! The bulky exercise equipment I inherited when my mother passed away. She had tons of this kind of stuff tucked away in a large closet. Even SHE didn't use it! It's just collecting dust in the basement. I can't use it because it hurts something-or-other of mine when I try (usually my back). Thanks for this interesting discussion! You've got me thinking now... I've gotta get rid of this stuff!

well I have been in a bind many times, I have less money in my house than I have bills coming in, I don't sell anything, I don't really have anything to sell.

I remember being in a bind before and we tried to sell my husband's card collection. A card dealer wouldn't even look at them, that was a few years ago. I'm guessing the value hasn't really changed with the economy the way it is. I would sell my Disney snow globes, my jewerly, anything that I really don't use every day if it meant having money for food or to pay the bills. The swamp cooler would come in handy for the upstairs in my house. We try to keep the ac off as much as possible to save on our electric bill, so we use one of those huge round fans. Only problem it only cools down one room and we have two rooms upstairs. Also instead of just selling items, you could also sell your services, like computers, plumbing, electrical, etc. Not everyone is good at that sort of thing, and would pay for that service. especially if it's better and cheaper than the companies in the phone book. Just ideas.

We just gout rid of our welding supplies because my husband has arthritis and can no longer weld. I do have a printer that I want to get rid of, and a dishwasher, but the motor is gone, plus there is an accordion, a spinet organ, but the trouble is that I will get getting a better printer, and a piano keyboard, and we do need a new dishwasher. So the only thing that we got rid of and do not need was the welder. The other stuff will be to upgrade to better ones.

Right now, I'm trying to sell a celluloid handled carving set and a Paulette Gaudette vanity set, it has hair care, perfume, and so on in a large case, as a last resort, a set of Fostoria, but no one wants to buy any of it right now. I've tried, it was in one of my previous posts about the trouble I'm having making money to pay my bills. So my husband has to sell his cherished rifle. It is so heavy and I think it's cherry stock. It's long, I could never shoot it, but he could. He has others, but this one is a show piece. Not sure if he can sell it. Only necessities are selling in my area. I think he could sell a regular hunting rifle.

I would say me, but I don't think anybody would buy me, and if they did I would probably only get a dollar two ninety eight. I do have an old Pot Belly Stove that I would sell. I have some odds and ends of things to sell on ebay. I moved 3 years ago and sold or gave lots of stuff away then.

I have slow cooker that I used once or twice. There are little items that I don't use, too many to list. Ha, ha, if I sell everything for my house and start over, I would probably buy less... HUGD

First I would sell my lazy boy recliner that is in my office as the only one who uses it really is my dog Buster. Then I would sell my model car collection which are very well done in details of the painting etc. Then I'd sell the thousands of books my wife has collected over the years. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

1. DVD-Recorder with 160gb hard disk. 2. Collection of old comic books(about 25 years old) 3. Playstation and gamecube I bought the DVD-recorder but i only used it one time. I still haven't unpacked my collection of comic books, even after 2 years of moving. Playstation and gamecube are hardly used. So those things i can miss.

I don't know I keep going to part with something then I think maybe I shouldn't ever summer I want to sell something but you know it same stores maybe I'll use it again.I got so mush stuff I could open my own store ... cd

I think that i could sell my carpets, they are very expensive, but they have sentimental value. Don't make now jokes on me, this is true. It's a gift for my father at his 50 anniversary from my oncle. But,if it was so needed, i would sell them and maybe this can be the exit from the problem.

firstly i really hope that i would not have to face a situation where i will have to sell something from my house but if i have to i think firstly i would sell my ac, 2nd musicsystem , 3rd some ornaments

If we needed the money it would probably be going down the list of our gaming systems. We own a PS2, Wii and a PS3. We sell those off with a collection of our games. Then we might sell of one of our tvs. I don't know. My husband and I are young still, so we don't have a whole lot of nice things.

well my old books would go first ... second would be my filing cabinet and third would be my book shelf ... i have a lot of books :P

Gosh,i have never really thought about that.I don't think i have any really big stuff..I could sell my doll collection because i am just not into them like i use to be..I also have a coin collection maybe could go second...Oh i have a wood burning firplace,that is iron & stands alone i could sell too,its really to big for my house,but its really nice....Thats all i can think of at the moment..Good discussion.

i think it is very easy to sell my someting frome my house .the first thing i hate is my pc.haha,my pc is the headstream of life troubles.

The most difficult question. Every little thing in my house is so close to my heart. I don't know wat I wud do. Probably if the situation really demands I wud go for my jewels,bed,couch etc etc

Your topic made me think what I'm going to sell first. I'm trying to look around in my house and here comes my list, I sell my personal computer since I have laptop, I sell my T.V. at my bedroom since we had another one in our living room well probably I just sell the things that we have in duplicate and lastly the things that we haven't use in so many years already we just have to open a garage sale since we have so many clothes that we haven't wear it for so many years.

I would probably sell first my laundry machine. If thing get worst and in need of financial assistance I will do it because I know how to handwash. second is our drawer...we have a nice newly bought drawer, we can put our stuff in boxes. and third is our motorbike, its big and good. anyways...we can still walk and its a good exercise. aside that... can't afford to sell more stuff or else my room would be very empty and my husband will get crazy. hhahaha.
