Today I trucked a carload of items to Global Thrift, the
charity I talked about last time. As
part of my donation, I gave them two bronze statues that I am pretty sure are
quite valuable. My grandparents got them
in China back in the days when going to China was a really rare kind of thing
to do. At first, I thought it was kind
of a waste to donate this to a thrift store that would probably undervalue it
and sell it for a fraction of what it is worth.
If I donated it to a charity art auction or something like that they
might net a better take for the charities.
But I don’t have time to figure that out since I move in a week. When I gave them the statues, I mentioned
that they were valuable and they seemed really psyched to have such cool
looking statues. But I have a feeling
that my fears will come true. Part of me
wants to go in to the store next week and see what they price tag is. But I think maybe I shouldn’t or I will
probably have an odd sort of buyer’s remorse.
I still have a lot of stuff to donate because my car can
only fit so much. Plus I have the three
big things that I can’t fit in the car at all, nor can I lift them myself. I am hoping that Brad and his trusty SUV can
help me bring those in. But he decided
to go on vacation to NYC with his wonderful family. So I have to wait until next weekend, the day
before I move. That will stress me out
to no end, but what can I do? Practice
my coping skills I guess :-).
