You Can't Take It with You

So, you might as well sell it online:
    Woman puts most all her belongings in eBay sale

    ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) -- Lisa Perry wants a fresh start. So she's decided to sell nearly all of her belongings in one massive auction on eBay.

    Perry, 45, said the top bidder in the auction, ending Thursday, will get more than 300 items--including snowshoes, a futon, a bed, a Village People album, seashells and more.

    Perry is keeping just a few things: her dog, her cat, photo albums and some clothing.

    "This might be mid-life, but it's not a crisis. It's mid-life excitement," she said. "I don't need it all. I don't use it all. I just have it all. Actually, it has me."
Among the items listed:
  • Mid-century modern Diamond Chairs designed by Harry Bertoia for Knoll in 1952
  • Atlantic bed, wood Mission-Style, Queen-size, with head and foot and side rails
  • Humidifier (small, about 4 years old)
  • Lots of 33 and 78 records plus 8 track tapes
  • Capresso coffee grinder and coffee maker
  • Milk crate full of seashells from the east coast
  • 10 coffee mugs from around the world
  • Many, many more things including boxes I don't even know the inventory of!
She notes that the "auction does not include live animals, such as my pets, me, my degrees, any credit card or other personal information about me or others."
