*i ended up buying a house with w/d included

@MickeyMoo: This is effective only when you need something new to replace something you already have. And only if someone would actually ever buy the thing you're trying to sell.

@katstermonster: I hear that. The only thing I have left that isn't self supporting is mine and my husband's cellphones. My dad has us on his family plan and he said we can stay on it as long as we want to.

He likes being able to call me whenever he wants to. I think him paying the bill leaves him feeling entitled to do so. lol. I don't mind.

Recently he added internet to my phone and I told him not to.. but he insisted. I love my dad : )

Look at the cost of storing them (for months? Years?) vs. the cost of just buying a new washer and dryer minus donating the old set for a deduction.

We have an old pop-up camper we take on vacations and at one point I thought about renting a storage unit for it -- it would literally be cheaper for me to blow it up and buy another one every year -- so in the driveway it sits.

Now the hard part will be to avoid falling into the trap of keeping it there for a long time. There is so much stuff!
