As I spent the evening trying to deal with the fact I have many things that I don't have time to photograph/list, I got to wondering what everyone else is doing...
Coins/Tokens and like items I keep at the B&M store (since that's who owns them), but they don't take up much space. I have a 4 foot wide shelving unit 6 feet high to put my items on. The rule in the store is that if I have no place to put it, I can't list it. They're on to something here.
At home, that's a different story... I have many boxes of comics in my living room. My front hall space has been shrunken to 2 feet wide because of the shelving unit that has all the new in package toys I acquired (not mint, the owner did not store them properly). Not a fire hazard, my front hall only leads from the foyer to the closet under the stairs. I have bins in the basement of things I'm saving for later (action figures, model trains). And a bedroom that's 7x7' large with shelving and cabinets storing all my craft, jewelery making, and sewing stuff for the product I sell on another site. I have a book case with all my reference books too (comic guide, coin guides, stamp catalogues). There's also an entire shelving unit with old technology (stuff that was used 10 years ago, but in great demand in Poland and Russia right now).
But not enough time to list all this... I work 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, and live 50 miles from where I work, so my spare time is spent driving to and from work. I do try to get in one hour every day, but my one hour is often spent packing items, printing packing slips and doing the various steps in my process to transport items to New York for posting (from Canada).
Cheers, C.
