elling my stash
Sorry guys, my two typing fingers missed the "S"...obviously it's SELLING, not elling.
Yep, made the final decision to sell off the stash of parts. Tough choice that's not come quickly nor easily. However, it's time to be realistic. Stuff is going cheap in the hopes someone can use it. if not, stuff is just 'going". A shame at times but I'm not gonna store it so the wife has to deal with it eventually. I know I'll keep some of the goodies if for no other reason than to simply look at. So, you guys have the same thoughts?

Re: elling my stash
Your not alone. I stopped collecting a few years ago and have already started a "stash" reduction.

Re: elling my stash
I started "decluttering" last summer. First round went to trash or scrap. I was amazed at how much worthless crap I had laying around. Next, sell it or give it away. And I still have too much crap. Had a garage sale and sold a ton of stuff cheap. Still too much. It's looking better but I've got a long way to go. Look up "Swedish death cleaning". Get rid of the clutter to make room for what really matters.

Re: elling my stash
Someone here or on the Ford truck enthusiasts site signs off his signature with "My biggest fear is I will die and my wife will sell all my stuff for what I told her I paid for it". That might not be so bad in a few short years. Anybody need a 6v generator?

Re: elling my stash
I started divesting myself of stuff over a decade ago and have hardly made a dent in it. I think it's partly due to the fact that I find so many good deals I just have to have. The quality of my "stash" has improved somewhat, however.
I think that the early Ford guys who are still active will be very happy in 10 or 20 years. |

Re: elling my stash
It usually holds true (at least in my case) that 'junk' is something you need two weeks after you get rid of it....

Re: elling my stash
I'm "elling" mine too. Not too much stuff for me, but kids raising cane.

Re: elling my stash
I accumulated a lot of pickup parts for 35-37's and 39's over the years. I had parts hanging in the shop, in two storage buildings, upstairs in my daughter's old bedroom, in the attic, under the beds in two of the bedrooms, and even in my son's tree house when he outgrew it. I told my wife it was my retirement savings. Well, I retired. Virtually all of the stash is gone now in terms of grills and sheet metal. My kids are not interested; neither can drive a standard and are not interested in no a/c, no power brakes, no power steering, no pricey electronics, and the like so the projects that are ready except for reassembly are just sitting there with no particularly good reason to put them together. I bought a 35 pickup to build for my son to drive to high school back when he was 12. I still have it with a good bit of the work completed, and my son will be 30 in March and still not interested. I have a grandson old enough to drive. He would love to have one of my pickups, but the one he wants is my Super Duty, not even my street rod.

Re: elling my stash
Why not go to EDIT and make the correction?? You could have done that quicker than typing the above sentence.

Re: elling my stash
Mike, please let us know when and where you post these items you are parting with.. Many of us here would probably be interested in seeing what you are parting with.
