Ad agencies don't go through people's garbage looking for photos to use in their ads.what if someone gathers them and uses the images for some ad or some other use?
But, as was mentioned, if you are worried about photos falling into the wrong hands, you can shred them.
That's an excellent criteria! These days, I just don't collect it to being with if I can. I don't ask for autographs, collect tchotchkes, etc. I only accept things that I'm willing to use or display. Anything that goes in a drawer doesn't enter the house.I think that will be my deciding factor with memorabilia - when I die would anyone want it?
We are in the process of downsizing and it can be intimidating. Our garage has: 1 enormous rear projection tv that actually still works, 1 enormous entertainment center made of oak (think 80s), an enormous corner desk made of oak, a loft bed with a desk underneath, a loft bed that has a sliding board and drapes to make it look like a castle, a complete bedroom set of kids furniture (bed, dresser, desk), plus other random stuff that started out in bedrooms.
All of this stuff is perfectly serviceable so I feel like we should try to sell it. But honestly, no one wants it. We can't even donate it because no thrift shop near us takes furniture. We are thinking of putting it out in the driveway, 1 piece at a time, and see if someone takes them.
