I too use QuickBooks and an accountant, keep every receipt, keep up with every second of my time no matter what the task is, milage, and never trust anyone to look after my money the way I do.

Good luck Jimmy and don't stress out, I find the work to be the easy part.

My best friends mom is an accountant so I'll be sitting down with her here soon. My sister is real good witj the quickbook, excel type shit so i always have her if there's any question. Not super worried about it, I'm a smart enough guy to figure it out.

Was mowing the yard once with an antique high-wheel mower that had stupid H/P & felt something strike my calf just above the boot line.
After a couple more passes the "Ouch" still hadn't gone away & I investigated only to find out my pant leg & sock were literally nailed to my calf (a pallet nail).

That one took pliers to pull out.

I'm starting to liquidate all my mother's possessions she left in the house. She wants to play money games, I'll play. I was going to start selling off my stuff, but why should I give up my shit to help her. There's a ton of worthless old shit around here with a few expensive items mixed in. Going through 40+ years of crap i don't know anything about isn't fun. I'm just grabbing the stuff I think is worth the most right now. I'm gonna have to figure out if i still have a valid ebay account, i don't think I'll be able to move too much just on Craigslist.
Anyone want a tub full of old needlepoint crap, or old liquid embroidery ink, or boxes of beads and jewelry making crap..:roll: A quarter of the attic is just her failed hobbies:finger:

We have these virtual yard sales around here, I think it’s a Facebook thing, bought and sold things on it. Maybe try that. Idk just a thought.

The company I worked for, until 2 years ago when I Quit and went solo :) ..decided to txt me (I found 4 txts on my phone when I woke up) asking me to come back for a month (with a hint at a full-time position reassessed for my needs) because they lost a bunch of staff and now urgently need someone to help push some software projects out (which are costing them thousands a day by sitting in a test cycle). It's 'decent' pay, but the office politics (and general feeling/heart/soul in the company) seems to be a negative one now (more then before). The office seems to have a 'revolving door' these days (with employees).
Was thinking of knuckling down anyway and just doing the month (not rocking the boat so to speak). Then just see what they offer. However, a couple of days in (with 4 workstations at my desk that I'm twisting and turning between) ..my back is reminding me why doing this for 8 hrs a day (5 days a week) is really a younger persons job ;)

Yeah, my buddy mentioned that, Facebook marketplace. IDK, I've been off Facebook for years, don't really want to go back. I'm researching estate buyers right now, maybe I can sell her shit in a big lot. I won't get as much, but not dealing with it might be worth it.

I just wish I knew what was actually worth money. I found a case of 8 tracks I was going to toss, but after doing some research, they might be worth a couple hundred bucks. I have a whole shelf of her, and my father's, old toys that I can't find comparable items of some stuff to get a value. I found one toy that looks to be worth around $300, so I could have a grand plus, sitting on that shelf. There's boxes upon boxes of her grandmother's crystal ware that's probably worth thousands, but also crappy 70s knock off stuff and IDK what's what. And there's boxes of books going back into the late - mid 1800s that were her grandfather's. I pulled some out years ago to display in an antique book case, which i found out a couple years ago are fairly rare books worth some decent money.

you know you'd be surprised if you went to an antique shop with some of that stuff

you can also try re-sale shops too they get a percent and you get a percent if sold....

I thought about it. I don't have much yard, it's all converted to gardens, I don't have any parking for people and parking on the sides of my street isn't really safe. I guess that last part isn't really MY problem, but I know other neighbors got harassed by the town for having yard sales and causing traffic problems. I'm also looking to borrow a truck and trailer and maybe go hit flea markets with the stuff. I'm not far from the Brimfield fair, which one buddy was saying I should haul some stuff out too.

I sell used auto parts on CL all the time. I have people come right to my house, I'm never worried about getting robbed when I sell something. It's when I'm going to buy stuff I get a little nervous. If I'm taking more than a few hundred bucks, I get one of my buddies that carry concealed to go with me and stay with our vehicle.

I would think a good amount of people on here would be somewhat used to shady dealings in dark alleys. Once you've done a few of those, CL people are a breeze.
