The Struggle - Toss it, Stage it, Sell it?

I came across an instagram post or reel, I can't remember and I had to go to look at the profile page.  ALL of the posts, just made me smile.  All that RETRO style.  She really nails it!  The photos reminds me of 3 or 4 of our own customers....you know who you are....

Here is a link to her instagram account so you can go look for yourself: https://www.instagram.com/imarriedamillennial/

What caught my eye was this.....


 

That right there...what she has collected...is why we tell family, "please don't throw anything away, we will do that."  To some, this may look like just "old cleaning supplies" toss it.  To others it looks like "a snip it of history" to be saved and enjoyed.  I tell you, it is a real struggle for us, probably because we find try to find value in everything.  Obviously, someone isn't going to use the product.  Enjoy the grapics, the history of a company that may no longer be in business, yes!  That is what this collection is.  

When we get to these types of products while staging our estate sales, Town Hall Trinkets, LLC and Town Hall Trinkets On Line Estate Sales we never toss them.   I think, "well this lady has saved this for all these years" far be it for me to toss it out now.  Truthfully, thank goodness someone was a "saver!"  


Or, maybe some of this "history" would be lost or forgotten.  Sometimes while digging in the estate homes, we will find something like a bottle, or box with advertising on it and not even know that product or company ever existed.  History lesson - hands on style.  We will often "google it" sure enough that was a "thing" back in the day....

So, just know, if you come to one of our sales or events, you may find items you think, "why are they selling this?!"  Because, we have customers who "get it!"
