I am in the process of downsizing and trying to sell a lot of my stuff. I am discovering that so many baby boomers are unloading their stuff too that the market is saturated. Some resale shops are no longer even taking Waterford and Lennox!

I used to be able to sell just about anything on eBay. Now I can hardly give the stuff away. I took a lot of things to an auction house - sold about half and didn't make much, but it was better than nothing.

I had a few Longaberger baskets. Those were hot items in the 80s and 90s. I didn't get much for them. So I searched eBay to see how many of them are listed and as of today there were over 17,000!

Has anyone experienced something similar? When we were clearing out my MIL's house a few years ago, we couldn't sell much of her stuff either. And she had a lot of nice vintage and antique items.
