Yes it's a common problem among most here. My shop is small, only 30x33, and has a full time project truck in it that I actually built the shop for to start with. It's my brothers truck, and life happened, and I could go on and on, but anyway...so with his truck there full time, and my projects taking up the other half of the shop, I don't have much room to start with. SO, when this enormous problem that we all have of consuming JUNK items that we are so sure that we need, and have to have, because were gonna use it all one day, right? When it finally boils to a top, and I look around in my shop embarrassed and upset because I can't find ANYTHING that I really need, due to the JUNK, I call my local dumpster lady (yes, lady!) and I throw out everything that I haven't touched in years, until I'm content with my shop environment once again.
I have used craigslist a few times, but I end up spending more time than I want, dealing with people that are too broke to actually pay me for the item to begin with, so I get satisfaction from tossing it all into a dumpster. I'm usually so mad at this point, that nothing really matters, if it's not a tool, it's gone! Break out the broom, sweep out corners that I haven't seen in YEARS, and life is good, until I repeat this process over again.
