Title: Exhausted and Depressed - Big Moving House is now Moving Hell
Post by: berserkfan on Sat, 19 March 2016, 10:20:45
Door just fell off its hinges and hit a member of my family.

Toilet can't even be flushed. Or at least, it can be flushed, but **** goes on the floor.

I'm really exhausted from making my moving preparations, and now it seems we won't be moving anymore.

I am stuck with 3.5 cubic meters of keyboards and keyboard parts in my house.

To my horror I already have 153 entries of items for my Geekhack/ Deskauthority moving sale, and I'm only about 2/3 done. Many entries are even for multiple items, meaning I have at least 300 items to sell or arrange to give away. How many PMs am I going to get? How many PMs must I exchange to get everything done with?

I am also only starting to realize how much money I have spent on teensies over the past few years. When buying a few each time one just does not realize how expenses add up. I could probably have contacted a Chinese factory for a custom batch of 1000 Teensies, and gotten them cheaper.

Feeling overwhelmed. And there is the question of my house, which is in a mess.

I hate moving. I have been in my house for 16-1/2 years and will certainly move into a considerably smaller place in another 3-5.

My condolences.

Can't you, idk, rent a little warehouse place and sell small batches of items?

I just moved my stuff out of storage because I am never paying again to store things I don't use. Everything must go.

And selling small batches? Nah, did that in 2014. Total number of PMs and wasted time being racked up is still the same, just spread out.

Could always try shipping in batches then to help alleviate the PIA that is. Ship every certain number of items sold, depending on how fast stuff is selling. Or not ship stuff until a certain date specified before hand, so it gives you time to get organized and whatnot. Keep an excel sheet to organize everything (I'm sure you've already done this).
