About ten years ago we were selling a property and decided to "declutter" to make it more appealing - we put lots of stuff in storage.

After a few months we had sold the property and then looked at the stuff we had put in storage and 95% of it was junk....

8 years ago, we moved continents. Some stuff got shipped, some stuff stored that was too precious to sell but not precious enough to ship.

Yeah. 8 years of storage for what's now a bunch of kids toys, 120v tools, and some random furniture that we're never going to ship, some handmade stuff.

Anyway, we're going to have an epic yard-sale this year when we actually make it back.

>epic yard-sale

Which you'll probably find is more trouble than it's worth but at least it will get stuff out of your hands. Going to make a serious effort to get rid of a fair bit of stuff this summer myself.

When we left, the community had a pretty good yard-sale culture. We won't make back anything like what we paid for the stuff or the storage, but we'll not have to deal with the storage costs any more.

Otherwise, the tools, books and toys will go to the local thrift stores. And the crap goes to the dump.
