Good Morning World! It is Friday, March 6, 2020. I love that it is 2020 – so easy to say! Anyway, still getting busy packing and sorting out. I have a bunch of stuff I’m giving to St. Matt’s. I am also trying to sell a few items on Marketplace. I renewed my ad for my Motorcycle Helmet and I have a guy coming to pick it up today all the way from North Fort Myers!
I also put these things on the market:
Bette and Suzan talked me through what I should “store” and what I should let go. They explained that it’s better to let some things go that I can replace when I need to do that. Afterall, if it is going to cost me $275 a month to store my furnishings and I store them for 6 – 12 months – the money I spend on that will cost me more than it would to buy a new sofa etc, so this is on the market too: (I’ve had these couches for at least 20 years – probably longer since I thought I only lived in the house for 4 years and I’ve been here for 7!).
The sofa and love seat are leather and in good shape!
I kind of think that I should keep these but they weigh a LOT and that is how they determine how much it will be to store them – it’s by weight. My two quotes were about $900 different. So I’m going to go with Peluso. I am going to call them and ask if it would be advisable to come back after next Friday (when St. Matt’s picks up) and redo some of the quote, because I won’t have as much “stuff” to pack. I would like to know what it would be closer to if I pack everything myself (except the fine china of Aunt Mary’s).
I am also going to sell this:
I never sat in this Lazy Boy much. I’m usually on the couch! I can get another one if I decide I need one in the future.
So I’ve discovered that my MIFI is doing a “fine job” of providing internet service for me now that I canceled my Xfinity High Speed Internet. It works just as well and guess what – it only costs $20 a month – WOW! I don’t miss TV either much because I can use my iPad and get Live Streaming CBS News and that is all I really care about. I don’t miss those REALITY shows I watched like “The Voice”, “American Idol” etc. I’ll just wait until I hook up with Daisy and use their cable when I need a “fix”! And it’s only $350 a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All inclusive – WST, Cable and NO property taxes, homeowners and flood insurance. I do have an electric bill there for $.13 a KWH. For a month it was $60!!!!
So I JUST put the Lazy Boy Chair on Marketplace and I already have a buyer! LOVE THAT! She is stopping by after work from Everglades City!
Just was advised to sell my TV:
