EEEKKK - More rage and frustration

I will give them to anyone that gets curtains.

I had a nibble on the drapes and she was supposed to come yesterday, but of course, never showed up. When she inquired, she posted her phone number. so I called and asked if she was still interested. She sounded like a befuddled old lady who acted confused, stammered a bit, then hung up. I tried to call back, but then she didn't answer.

it's probable that someone has given you a false number.... and it's led to the old lady

My curtains are old style, it seems. I looked on a big box store at drapes and they have these big grommeted holes that go through a rod - no need for metal hooks anymore.

I knew a guy here in the complex that had to do community service as part of his DWI sentence. He chose the Salvation Army and said quite a bit of the donations was people's trash that they had to throw away.
And nobody has used those metal hooks for years and years!

Many years ago I helped organize church yard sales. The crap that people donated was not to be believed. At that time I knew someone who ran a charity thrift store. He and I were commiserating about the amount of donations that went straight into dumpsters that the charities had to pay for. He said there was an old saying in charity thrift store business: "One man's trash is pretty much another man's trash." (A play on "one man's trash is another man's treasure.")

I never forgot my church yard sale experiences or his words and am extremely judicious about what I donate.
 
Before the Pandemic I volunteered at a thrift store 2 days a week. My job was in the linen dept. which included bed linens, bath and kitchen towels, small rugs, curtains and drapes and shower curtains and more. Anything faded, torn, dirty, musty or outdated was sold in bulk. Animal Rescues took the old towels and rugs. Homeless shelters took certain items that were usable to people settling into apartments. The good stuff was sold in the thrift store.

You need to call agencies near you to find out what they will take.

The above list is the most comprehensive donation list I've ever seen. In Item #9, you can give your zip code to get suggestions on places near you that accept donations.

Sounds like you have numerous items to donate. Good luck. Hope the above URL helps you.
 
Unless someone stops in the next 90 minutes and buys $10 to $20, today will be one of the WORST day I ever had for a sale - only 5 cars stopped all day. Sold $1.25. I just don't know where my usual "Labor Day Regulars" are. Traffic is extremely light for Labor Day here. Maybe the showers earlier is holding them back - but the sun is out NOW.

Today was a bust with the moving sale. Guess I was spoiled by Friday and expected each day would be like that. Next weekend is our village-wide sale. Multiple people that stopped asked for certain items. The three main ones were old buttons, axes & hatchets and cast iron cookware.

second hand axes and hatchets ?...wow !! Wonder why anyone would be looking for those, specifically

What I would like to know, with ALL your money, why are you wasting your time selling all that CRAP instead of tossing it out? Wouldn't your time be better spent whipping your new home into shape?
