Question,
the upcycling you do is really commendable as we throw away to much these days. But when you make your rounds you are bound to pick up stuff that does not sell. So what do you do with that? does your house look like a hoarders dream or do you then get rid of things after a while as well?
Good question. I usually only take smaller things that fit on my shelves or in bins. The medium sized stuff must be good/faster sellers to warrant the space. If it's really large, I have a storage unit nearby. If it's really big, but not worth the legwork and injury risk to transport it, I circle back to taking small parts from it to at least make some impact.
I also take many things I uncover out and leave them in plain sight for someone to take later. For example, I had a nice warm winter jacket in my hands a few weeks ago and decided to leave it out in view. 60 seconds later, a homeless man walked by me and took it. Another example I saw was a pair of vintage paintings I pulled out of a bag. I took one and left the other leaning on a tree. Then two women walked by me with it minutes later. Can't put a price on that reward. I also take some things to a thrift store nearby.
My apt definitely is full of shelves and sections for inventory (and operations) vs things I personally own, but it's a necessity at this time to allow me to not work for anyone else since quitting my corporate job 5.5 years ago.
Most things sell in a reasonable timeframe. If not, I drop the price a lot or part it out.
