<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9741135, member: 79705&quot;]I&#039;ve come from freelance where income can be feast or famine, so you have to save and not get too spendy. I also resell to bump income up when I&#039;m not busy. And I don&#039;t have an attic, garage, or any large storage. Not even much smaller storage, so I get creative.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have to milk that high and keep it going.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its impossible to always get the good stuff, and there&#039;s the temptation on the not-so-good for a meager high that only creates more work for less profit or enjoyment (think: overcrowded collection you gotta dust and store and can&#039;t even see all of).</p><p><br /></p><p>So when I had less money, I learned to revisit the high from the things I had. Put it out on display all by itself and rotate the best stuff so you get a bump when you look at it. Make a &quot;greatest hits&quot; photo folder on your phone or computer to browse like window shopping, for after ya just looked at an underwhelming estate sale ad. Use the nice stuff. Come here and share it and browse other people&#039;s stuff vicariously. I even look at museum holdings occasionally. Selling to another buyer who&#039;s gonna love that thing (and bump your bank account) is great too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our brains are dumb meats. They&#039;ve done studies that people get a high out of aquiring and the excitement before they get the package, and then it&#039;s gone immediately after. I say you just need to trick the dumb brain into shopping the stuff you&#039;ve already got lol. It works for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes we go thrifting and I don&#039;t buy a thing, and I feel like I won cause I didn&#039;t drag crap home. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Save that luck up for another day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
