[THE eXchanger]

i started a process of sorting a lot of things to get rid of

one by one, i list them onto a website

and, one by one, they get turned over for cash

i did start to add, a list of things,

that i am willing to barter for,

and, ironically today -- i did a barter/or a swap with someone

and, i sold one item, for $25, that i paid $10 for

wish, i could do that, with everything i got

*********************************************
one friend of mine, Bill, who moved to costa rica to develop land
cashed out about 400,000 in rrsp's
and, left canada -- he'd retired from the railroad

anyway--he, sold everything in his house
in approx 3 weeks, running a garage sale ad,
that ran daily for 4 hours

he would take stuff out to the garage, sell it

and, the next night, take out more stuff

he said, it was amasing how quick all his things disappeared that way

and, also, he got a good price for everything too

he left, with just what fit into his van/truck

and, he said, he never looked back, just forward

we accumulate a lot of junk !!!

however, what is junk to one man, is often treasure to another

then, shortly after he cleared out his own home
both his parents died, and he cleared out their house,
exactly the same way

**************************************
i coul d likely eliminate the mortgage
with my collections of stuff
