House Clean out
 

Looking for any recommendations, potentially selling our lakefront home, and thinking of what lies ahead ( ugh). Have furniture, water toys, etc, to sell and or donate, does anyone know of a company that would buy, and or take away?
Any ideas appreciated.

My wife works at a used furniture/antique store (not in NH) and they also run an auction service for house cleanouts and estate sales. They come over and inventory what you want to sell, create a web page with an auction function for each item and manage the whole process. It works remarkably well and almost all the items listed, big and small, get sold, often at a higher price than expected.

There must be similar services in the Lakes Region. Most estate sales services also handle cleanouts.

You probably already know the Meredith Town Transfer Station has a free store room for donating good usable clothing, electronics, household, lawn, water and sports items.

Believe it gets cleaned out on Sunday at 3-pm and whatever is still there goes into the trash or something or somewhere?

http://www.pemivalleyhabitat.org/restore.htm in Plymouth has a truck and will haul away large items in good shape.

And ......... "one man's trash is another man's treasure" ...... don't be surprised if an item like an old snowblower or an antique art piece ends up at a consignment antique store on Main St or a consignment store on Route 25 or somewhere else..... items with resale value can grow legs and travel from the free store room to a local consignment store or to craigslist ...... to make it into money.

https://tbhshelter.org/ladders-thrift/overview.html in Plymouth has a drive-thru lane, item deposit area out beside the building with someone there to help receive your donated items.

You know ...... I'll bet there are items that get donated ..... and then one or two weeks later ..... the same item will get purchased by the person who donated it because they changed their mind or something, and they miss it and want it back! So .... how about that! .... :laugh::banana::emb:

Plymouth, NH has five serious large thrift and used furniture stores; Flip'n Furniture - thrift, Boomerang Used Furniture & Funky Stuff - consignment, ReStore - Pemi-Valley Habitat for Humanity, Ladders Thrift, & Step Ladders Thrift ...... so you can either donate items, consign items, or purchase items ..... or just go window shopping without buying nothing ..... until you find that 'must have' item! ..... ;)
