Are they a pain in the butt, absolutely. Do they create a ton of space, most definitely. We did one about 2 or three years ago. In my mind if it's in the sale, It's gotta go, so you could offer me just about anything for it and it's your's, because then I don't have to haul it to the goodwill, only to be told they don't take this, and they don't take that. We're talking about doing one this year with a neighbor, to get rid of a lot of the kids stuff. That will be hard, becasue we have millions of baby clothes, usually high quality, that were barely even worn, so I'll have a hard time with that. As for Jack's old toys, take them, take them take them. I want my basement space back.
I don't ever go to them. although, when Jack was first born, I got a high chairs and cribs for my parents and Col's parents houses. So that was good. I can't just wander around looking at stuff if i don't need anything.
