<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 18988, member: 37&quot;]As AF suggests, there is comfort and value in having a hoard. While I don&#039;t see the value of the hoard one usually sees on the TV show Hoarders, I do see the comfort for the most part. The filth and vermin does sometimes give one some pause though. Fortunately, no real filth or vermin in my hoard that I know of. my kitchen and bathrooms are in fine working order unlike those sometimes seen on TV. At this stage of my life, I could use a bit less of a hoard or a bigger facility to store and organize it. Truth be known, I would probably choose the latter if given the option...... LOL!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ridding myself of the hoard entirely, would be out of the question. It would be like throwing away my blanket on a cold Winter night. Besides, the monetary value received at auction probably would not meet what I have invested in it. If there is any monetary value to it, it is based in refurbishment and proper marketing. That said, there are way too many projects that I can never get to in this lifetime. Ridding myself of some, even if at a loss, could be cathartic. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have enjoyed picking through my mature hoard and like having the ability to determine what happens with it. I understand the angst seen on TV when people come in and attack the hoard. I would hope that will only happen when I leave this Earth. Truth be known, I hope I live long enough to not place this burden on my heirs and get to pick through every last bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
