Boxes of Gadgets

I had to clear my store, or to be exact, the boiler room where I store most of my junks, because the boiler engineer had to come and inspect the state of the boiler. It’s a good thing.

But when I had to put the things back in, I had to face the fact that I had been hoarding things. I still have boxes for my gadgets, and other people in the house, such as the box for my phone. I kept that with the idea that it would add value when I resell them, but even before rebuked by my wife’s comment (at this rate, we will pass down all our gadgets to our kids, she said), I knew it was a weak argument.

So I made the plan to sell them on Ebay. Which in some prolonging the hoarding, but, there’s a but, I have set the date due of throwing them all away into the recycling bin, by the end of the week. That solves that.

What is not solved is the reason for the hoarding. I thinks it’s because the gadgets are too expensive and I bought beyond my means, that I justify to myself that I need to get my money back? Or maybe I admire how sleek the boxes are? I don’t know.

Anyway if you have the same problem and have an answer, I am glad to hear the argument.

Thank you for reading.
