I photographed those phone cords this evening so I can drop them off in the morning at the Goodwill trailer. This is about 3/4 of them, with the rest being tucked neatly away in the cupboard for in case I need to sling phone cords around the house for some reason. All of the rest of these are overkill. What I kept is probably overkill. The seven on the right hand side are at least 50' long. The rest are anywhere from 7 to 15 feet. The ones I kept were for their length and interesting colors. (Great reasons, right?)

There are some china platters that my sister sent from my Mom's house that have made it from storage into my eBay room. We ended up with them when my parents bought a sideboard at an estate auction in about 1967 and it came with the contents, including a set of Warwick china. We used some of it, but mostly the big platters and such stayed in there. I looked them up on eBay and after figuring out the name of the pattern I figure I have a couple hundred dollars of plates here that I wasn't planning to keep. Looks like its time to dig out some of the packing materials and make some really safe shipping packages and let these seek their own level in the auction world.
