Last week I posted about all of the corded creatures lurking about in our apartment that were in need of a new home. I’m happy to report that many of them left via USPS this morning for exotic new locales like Pennsylvania, Kansas, and Florida. Here’s where we currently stand:

• 3 2 laptops
• 3 2 Kindles
• 4 3 Cell Phones
• 3 1 streaming devices (Roku)
• 4 2 fitness watches
• 1 external monitor
• 1 printer/scanner
• 1 Bluetooth keyboard
• 1 Bluetooth speaker
• 4 headsets
• 4 rechargeable battery banks
• 1 0 solar panel laptop charger
• 1 Xbox 360
• 1 DVD player
• 1 0 cordless phone
• 6 4 remotes
• 3 1 TV antenna
• 7 3 USB phone chargers
• No more miscellaneous cords!

We took Tank to Best Buy last night for recycling. I sold my old Kindle, the solar laptop charger, a fitness watch, the Google Chromecast, the TiVo box, and one of the cell phones on eBay. We did much better than expected, netting a grand total of $135.69. We donated all the miscellaneous cords, the cordless phone, an antenna, and a universal remote to Goodwill. The other antenna we took back to the store for a refund of $8.74. The DVD player and a few headsets are going to family members but we haven’t seen them yet this week. Once I get the photos off the other cell phone, I’ll probably post it on eBay too, but it’s a non-smart phone so it’s a bit of a process. All in all though, I’m pretty happy with our decluttering effort.
