8. I have a houseful of heirlooms and gifts I won't sell

and a boatload of stuff I wish we'd never bought. A lot of times, finding the value after we bought something was a surpsrise and delight.
I'm downsizing, but if I find high sold values on things like this, I don't put it in my booth. I offer it to my kids, or rewrap and store it.

On the upside, my kids are embracing the hit in the pocketbook. One of them told me I could Christmas shop in my basement
