How hard it is to get rid of stuff you don't want any more but aren't quite prepared to throw away.

I'm trying to clear out some of my wargaming figures &c. that I'm almost surely never going to use. But while it seems like a waste to simply bin them, it's a real bother trying to sell them.

I need a break. Then I should go jogging, get groceries, and go out to dinner with friends (yay!)

I spent two hours reordering and resorting stuff in my study/workroom/wargaming treasure room.

*Almost* everything is either on a shelf, on the worktable, or under the worktable. Only a few things are still on the floor, and most of those are in the "getting rid of" pile. I need to make that pile larger, and I need to institute a more space-efficient storage scheme for some of my figures. I have a good idea how to do the latter.

As to the former, I got rid of almost all my 20mm figures a while back, as they constituted one of the scales I had very little in. I would like to get rid of my 25/28mm figures, but that will be more difficult, as (a) several of my friends also have figures in that scale, and (b) some historical subjects/ranges are only available in that scale. I also have a boatload of them, so it may be in the "too hard" pile. But it would be nice to rationalize down to two scales (6mm and 15mm) for land warfare (for naval I have 1/1200 sailing ships and 1/2400 WWI ships; for air warfare I have some 1/144 WWI and some 1/300 WWI and WWII--clearly I need to rationalize a little there too).

Of course, there's the 30+ Euro games and the ~400 wargames... Those probably need to be thinned out a bit too...

Oh, whoops, there's also two loads of laundry that need to be shifted to the dryers and two more loads of washing to do (forget to do the laundry one weekend and it mounts up...)

ETA: Oh, and I did a lot of clearing out in my Gmail account and freed up over 800MB of space!

When looking for info for Karl, I found a few other decks of stray games that I'd bought to try out:

2 decks for the Monty Python and the Holy Grail game
3 decks for Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2 decks for Lord of the Rings
2 decks for Dixie (1st Bull Run)
3 decks for Mythos (the Lovecraftian CCG)

oh, and...

I will also be emptying out my card game collection (the only people I regularly played with are Mike, who moved to Japan, and Melissa, who is becoming a vagabond!) They include:

Legend of the Five Rings (fantasy medieval Japan)
Dune
7th Sea (fantasy pirates)
Babylon 5
Warhammer 40k
WarCry (Warhammer fantasy)
F. A. Premier League (soccer)
Legensd of the Burning Sands (Arabian Nights fantasy)

OK, so I'm determined to start getting rid of some of the wargaming/roleplaying/general hobby material things that I've decided not to keep, which are cluttering up our project room/study. I'm hoping I may get a start on auctions this weekend, but to begin with I will post here, in case any of my friends want some of these things. Easier and happier to pass them on to folks I know...

I don't have a full list yet, but just from the boxes I began unpacking today, I can tell you what some of the topics to be touched on are:Read more... )

Also, just to amuse the perhaps-not-so-gaming part of my audience, I also have two issues of that classic 'Babylon 5: The Official Monthly Magazine' to dispose of and...wait for it... issues 55 through 62 of 'Tournaments Illustrated' (yes, parts of 1980-1982). These last, I confess, I'm almost tempted to keep; where else do you find articles on Elizabethan vocal music, medieval contraception, the invention of the binary code, the history of chess, treen drinking vessels, making mead, or the origin of postal services? But someoen would probably consult them more often than I...
