Craigslist is your friend. For buying and selling what you no longer need. If you take good care of your stuff you can sell it for a decent price.

I do agree with this regulations, unions, and ObamaCare have pushed jobs out of the country I really do feel for the minors they are a VERY hard working bunch and the job is very dangerous to their health!!!
