Is it okay for me to feel guilty about seriously considering getting rid of my old X-Files merchandise? I've got loads of books, a few videos, the Barbies... a fair amount of stuff. The best is the newspaper clippings, cards, etc. It was such a big part of my life for such a long time that I feel kind of... I don't know, traitorous? But it's all just collecting dust in my parents' house, since I don't have a home of my own. I know that this stuff isn't exactly marketable anymore, since there's so much of it, so I'm sort of wondering if I should 1) try to sell it as a lot or 2) save it like all the people did with merchandise from things like The Man From UNCLE or the Osmonds (odd examples, I know, but both are things my parents were crazy about). I guess I'll just do my research and keep it in mind. Probably nothing going to be done about it anytime soon. I just don't really want to donate it, since I paid a decent amount of money for it, and it probably won't sell for them anyway.
Speaking of getting rid of stuff, I probably need to get rid of some craft supplies and whatnot, as well. It always sucks because I end up getting rid of stuff when I go to move yet again, and then buy more stuff when I get wherever I'm going. Way to lose money, right there. I just don't have the time to use it up, and then I still have to tote the finished items, if I don't sell them first.
In case you didn't get the vibe, I'm getting ready to move yet again. I have 3 months left in Memphis and am trying to make the most of the little time I have left. I have 2 more shows to design, and I think I'm moving towards getting back together with the guy I dated when I first got here (sooo much story there, but it's all too weird to bother retelling without being asked), so I need to start deciding what to do with all my stuff as soon as possible. I'm talking with a woman on Craigslist who may want one of my mannequins, and will hopefully be able to sell the other (or both, if she doesn't want the one), which are my (literally) biggest problems.
I'm aiming towards selling as much of my stuff as possible rather than donating or giving it away because I'm, well, totally broke. And with going from one low-paying job to one that pays hardly more, along with trying to keep up my student loan payments, I need every penny I can manage to set aside. Money woes are always the worst.
