Haters at the Beach

There’s this thing that happens where someone can’t picture doing what you’re about to do. Like when teachers take twenty kids on a field trip to the zoo, or when a mother announces she is going to have five preteen girls come to her daughter’s sleepover.  It doesn’t matter whether or not they are actually qualified to do it, SOMEONE out there is going to be unable to picture themselves doing the same thing. And instead of thinking, “wow, maybe she is uniquely qualified to manage this situation,” their brain tells them, “she can’t do that! It’s dangerous!” Take, for example, the other day when I decided that I was going to take my kids to the beach. My kids are on the littler side, 4 and 1 1/2, so it was not going to be without its challenges. I live in a beach city, so it’s not the ordeal you might imagine. We were going for an hour and a half. My friends were going. I had packed everything and we were in the car and ready to go. And by the way the people around me responded, you would have thought that I announced I was going to take my kids to fight tigers.

5 Tips for Selling Your Stuff on Facebook Buy Sell Trade Groups

Need to make a little extra cash without the hassle of Craigslist or Ebay? Find out how Facebook Buy Sell Trade groups can help you declutter (and bring in some green). So how do buy sell trade groups work? And how do you find find buy and sell groups on Facebook? Read on to find out!

When I was growing up, every so often my Mom would hit a breaking point where we had TOO MUCH STUFF. Stuff in our rooms, stuff in the garage, stuff we did. Not. Need.

We’d pick the hottest Saturday of the year, wake up at dawn and pull everything we ever owned onto the front lawn. My sister and I would post signs around the neighborhood and we’d inevitably spend the entire day sitting in the yard explaining to people that we weren’t selling our bikes that were still in the garage, but visible to all the gawkers.

At the end of the day, we’d box everything up and just donate it any way. It was such an inefficient system, but what else were you supposed to do with all your stuff?

Fast forward many years to today. And the internet. God. Bless. The internet.

Because now, whenever I need to purge stuff from my house and/or need a few bucks, I head to the Facebook buy sell trade groups and make some cash WITHOUT sweating outside for hours.

So instead of hosting a yard sale or heading to Craigslist, make use of local Facebook buy and sell groups. With less clutter for you (and more money in your pocket!), it’s the ultimate way to clean house. Here’s how buy sell trade groups work for us (and how they will work for you, too).
