    In reference to the circle easyrecycle explained, I attempt the following technique.

    I try to sell my biggest, bulkiest items first (value per cubic ft?). This is true both of items for the scrap yard and items for resell. If I am able to meet my financially obligations by parting with the least valuable items that take up the most of my valuable space, it allows time to acquire larger amounts of the more valuable items to sell at an even higher price, without as much pressure on my available space.

    This can defiantly be challenging, but when you are able to sell your items on your terms/time frame there is a lot less chance of getting taken advantage of. If you have to sell it today, because you need the money today, you loss much of your negotiating power.



    Best of luck
