Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it.I have several plastic drawer cabinets and wooden cubbys waiting in storage. Now I just need to make room for them.
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?Most of my stuff is divided into: Use daily/weekly/monthly, store for use later, a few sentimentals, and sell for cash because my checks are not enough (mostly collectibles from auctions & estate sales). I lack motivation to sell and deal with the public (dumb questions and 'wow you have a lot of stuff, but I'm just looking' as they touch every single thing I have on display. Or, 'I already have too much stuff' at a flea market with an entrance fee. Or, Will you be here again tomorrow/next week?' Oh yes, please let me pack it up, offload at home/storage. and load it up again and spread it all out for you again next time! And then you don't even show up.
What I need is a box lot buyer, I'm too old for this stuff. Auctions are way too fussy due to the abundance of stuff available.
Grrrrr.
What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff.Can't think of one, sorry.
Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode.Love to visit a site for re-sellers looking for stuff to sell. Know of any?
I currently have 11 areas full and need to sell all of it.

Love to visit a site for local re-sellers looking for stuff to sell. Know of any?
Can some internet-savvy person make some for some of the larger cities?
That would be a wonderful solution to those of us with sellable and collectible items! And make them some money in the process, too!
