Hope you made out well in selling your handmade crafts, Helen. I usually donate most of my household things to Reuse centers or Purple Heart, but one year I had decided to sell some of my more expensive small items at a consignment shop. I got 60% profit on everything that sold. I received 3 checks within a 6 month period and made about $300. It's amazing how much value your old stuff has when someone goes by the book and looks up your items and marks them appropriately for sale.
