I’m a minor hoarder of stuff. Mainly because of a few reasons:
- “Never know when I might need it”.
- Selling things sucks. The market is really unpleasant. Even donating things is a challenge, find an interested recipient, and arranging transportation. And then throwing things away is morally corrupt.
- It’s a sign of failure. A failure to fully utilise an object, a failure to pursue a hobby, an interest, a commitment. So I just keep it, because I haven’t yet failed if I still have the potential.

And then throwing things away is morally corrupt. This is the big thing for me. I have a medium-sized hoard that I believe could probably fetch a few bucks, but taking the time to list everything individually for $1 here and $3 there on eBay, and then ship them one by one is infeasible. I'd probably be willing to use some kind of consignment service where I can just box up all my crap and send it to them, they'd sort it out, figure out what works and what doesn't, list and sell what they can, and give me 10% of the revenue or whatever. I can't be arsed to do all that myself.
