Lyle · 09-05-2010, 07:40 AM

Need to take a look around my place myself. My wife said it looked. Like sanfords and sons. Not my front yard. Just down at my shop

JM 35 Sedan · 09-05-2010, 08:54 AM

My wife thinks I'm a class 5 horder

but I think I'm just a collector that wants to save everything

. I have sold a few parts lately so maybe I'm begining to recover now

I've always been a pack rat too but the older I get, the more I realize a person has to set limits. When I figure out what the limits are I'll let y'all know.

They need to contact pickers and let them waste some time there, They can afford the gas, etc.

My wife and I have both come to the realization that eventually when one of us passes away the other is going to have to deal with liquidating their 'stuff'. Although we're only in our 50's time has a way of sneaking up on you. I wouldn't want her to have to deal with all my car stuff and tools, magazines, models, etc. So I'm deciding what's important and 're-homing' all the rest. As a side benefit I'm able to spend more quality time on the things I enjoy. And the new-found clutter-free space is easier to work in! I'm managing my hobby instead of my hobby managing me. I had almost 40 cuckoo clocks and sold off 35 in one lot to a guy on Ebay. I used to have 7 Mustangs. Now I have two, a 66 GT coupe, a 95 GT conv, and a 36 pickup. Still thinking of selling one of the mustangs. We had 4 horses, now we have 2. Still have too much clutter in the hobby room/workshop in the basement, mostly a few dozen plastic model kits and some train stuff, but it will soon be culled to focus on fewer, more special items.

I agree...one Mustang is more than enough. If you want to be a good benefactor, you could send one to me (I'll pay for shipping). I don't have even one.

Barry WNY · 09-05-2010, 09:32 AM

Me too, need to unload a bunch of crap instead of stashing, much is just scrap, spotlights, hubcaps, mismatched headlights... Now where is this guy that has a model A frame? would he have a cowl too? Then I could keep a pair of those axles and tires.... OOps, here we go agian

I thought I was the ONLY ONE!!!!

Rowdy · 09-05-2010, 10:26 AM

I resemble that stement. Thankfully most of it is out at the farm. salvaging it orgnanizing it so I know what I can sell and what I can't is the main problem. Its all for sale one piece at a time. Rod

peters180a/170b · 09-05-2010, 10:36 AM

The story is with these old boys with the "STUFF" is... if they sell off all of it no one will come and visit them... I have found that to be so true...

If their wife is still around after the old boy dies the wife can not get rid of the "STUFF" fast enough.

You gotta just be the first one there!

NYfatboy · 09-05-2010, 10:40 AM

Not much to say,just 2 pics of some of my stuff (my wife hates me!)

Lyle · 09-05-2010, 11:22 AM

Yes and to top it off. I just had to bring in that 25 model T C Cab truck body. Jane hase not seen it yet. I moved stuff around so maby she will not see it. I can say That old thing.I have had it laying around a long time. I thought you seen it allready.

Lyle · 09-05-2010, 11:41 AM

I would sell most of. Everything I have for the right amount of money. Do that not make me a horder. I hope.

Mike in AZ · 09-05-2010, 02:49 PM

quite a few of the old 'Barners are into trains, too....Clem Clement comes to mind, for one....Mike

Lyle · 09-05-2010, 03:09 PM

Man I have to admit I have one room in the other storage room with a bunch of line and radio control aircraft. Some of that stuff I got when I was. let me think. started when I was nine that were 1960 Holly c_ _p 50 years worth of model airplaine stuff.

Frank The Plumber · 09-05-2010, 05:21 PM

I have a 1 year rule, if I do not touch it in one year it gets a dot, a sticker, if it has a sticker after 2 years it gets put up for sale, 2 stickers after a year of trying to sell it I either give it away, scrap it or chuck it in the dumpster. Your kids are gonna hate you when you die other wise, loading dumpsters with a skid steer.
