What to do with trophies/old accolades & selling online
Hello all!
Quick intro - I'm a long time (former) Knot/(current) Nest lurker with a post every once in a blue moon who is in the [eternal] process de-cluttering and reorganizing.
My current conundrum is, "what do I do with old trophies/awards/accolades?". I have everything from trophies from when I was younger (swim team, cheerleading) to things as recent as this year for work (we get certificates for various things). They're not things I necessarily want to get rid of, but at the same time, I have no idea what to do with them other than let them sit in a box. If I were to get rid of them, what would I do with them? I feel squeamish to be putting my name and/or a prior team name just "out there" in the world. Does anyone even buy used things like that (ie: Goodwill)?
My other question is for anyone who is into buying/selling on eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, Zaarly, etc. I should rephrase: I've got the buying part down, but I am looking for some guidance on the selling part. Is it very complicated or costly to start doing? I don't have a ton of stuff but I have several books, craft items, random electronics chargers, specialty clothing items (bridesmaids dresses, wedding dress, misc. shoes) that I thought might be good to put out there.
Any assistance is appreciated - TIA! :-)
