If everything sells, I'm going to go crazy over the next few months.
Maybe downsize from a 10x15 plus a 10x20 storage unit to just one or
the other

I am no expert on selling things on Ebay. But I have worked for a couple
guys who have been fairly successful at it. Ane they conducted it like a
business. They took the long view. They developed reputations and stores
(webpages) so people could contact them independently of the Ebay ad.

If you really have a nose for certain types of products and can get them for
a good price, you could do well. But you need to look at in terms of a
business if you want to do this long term.

I don't know that I have a "nose" for this stuff. My goal at present
is mainly to downsize enough to regain some elbow room without feeling
like I'm throwing good stuff away. I'll admit that I have a lot of
fun buying lots and then going thru them for the gems, but I don't see
myself trying to make a living at it. Having a lot of stuff pass
through your hands is really tempting for a packrat such as myself to
hoard nice things I don't really need.
