How to Decide Whether to Sell, Donate or Keep
Simple questions that make difficult choices feel lighter.
Most belongings don't require agonizing. A few honest questions can sort the majority quickly, leaving more time for the pieces that really matter.
Keep it if…
- It is used regularly or will be in the new home.
- It carries meaning someone in the family wants to preserve.
- It would be difficult or impossible to replace.
Consider selling if…
- It may have value to collectors or buyers.
- It is in good condition but no longer fits your life.
- A specialist has suggested it merits a closer look.
Donate it if…
- It is useful but not likely to sell well.
- You'd like it to help someone locally.
There is no wrong answer — only what is right for you and your family.
