Do you have anything you wouldn't sell?
 

Somebody asked me that question, so I'm putting it out there.

I'm talking tangible items, actually things. Prized possessions, heirlooms, etc.

I've been trying to think of something I wouldn't sell, no matter the price. I can think of LOTS of things I wouldn't sell for their actual value, or even a great deal more.

My Grandma's marble top table is probably only worth 300 bucks. I wouldn't sell it for $2000. But if somebody offered me $20,000?

I can't think of anything I own that wouldn't have a price if someone were willing to pay it. Even some cherished family heirlooms...if someone came along and offered a price with lots of zeroes in it, I'd take a couple of pictures and hand over the cherished thing.

I'm still thinking. Maybe I have something with no price. How about you?

I have a few things I immediately thought of that I wouldn't sell for any amount of money. A table made by my grandfather and a glass clown from Italy that was my father's.

On second thought, how much would I get paid for it?? Maybe for a high enough offer I would.

After all, they are just possessions, and can't take the memories and love from my heart. I agree that a picture would be a good thing to keep - along with the cash!

I wouldn't sell my dog, but I will give my boyfriend away.

I wouldnt sell my guitar that I was given by my daddy for my 13th birthday. I gave it to my son on his 13th birthday, and when he went to college, he gave it back. Its nothing fancy, and has its share of nicks, scrubs, and worn marks, but to me, its priceless. :cool:

My mom's wedding band. I guess if one of my kid's needed one high-priced medical procedure, I'd sell it in a heartbeat. I'd sell anything for my boys.

I have some things from my Grandmother that have sentimental value to me but not enough that I wouldn't sell them for an outrageous price. She would be cool with that.

My critters are the only thing I wouldn't sell. DH, Mom etc. just name your price, lol.

There are plenty of things I wouldn't sell that my dear Dad crafted out of wood. But I've given many of them away to Family.

I'm very sentimental -- the offering price would have to be astronomically high to get me to part with things that are dear to me. And it would have to be to someone who would cherish them as much as I do. I doubt I'll have any takers. :)

I would give a lot to have a couple of the dresses my dear Mom sewed for me when a girl. I didn't appreciate them then. :o *Smacks self*

I'd like to think I wouldn't compromise my integrity for any price. :)

Thinking here,
I would never sell the trinkets I was given or collected from when we lost our baby girl Sabrina... Like I have a necklace my hubby found for me, it has a charm on it with a picture of a baby baptism on it... and the booties she had on when we had her blessed.

I would not sell my childrens quilts they have had since each were a baby, my sister Madeline had made them each. (of course some are so ratty worn out.. no one would offer money lol)

My dads dogtag, my grandmas old sewing machine... guess I am sentimental too... hugss,sarah

I'd sell just about anything, but my Soul, for a million bucks. :D

The material things don't mean anything, it's the memories they bring and those will always be with me. :)

Guess I'm a Material Girl, lol!

First thing that came to mind was my pets but they aren't a "thing". They're family.

Like Joelle said, if one of my kids needed something and I could sell something to get it I would. As a Mom there's nothing I wouldn't do for one of my children.

I have my parent's old Bibles. They each had one....exactly the same.....but Mom's was much more worn out than Dad's. I wouldn't part with them, either. They meant alot to my parents and for some reason I feel like they are just way to special to ever leave my grip. Now, if my sister wanted to have them I'd give them to her in a second. I know they'd be safe with her.

This is a fun topic. I am a very sentimental person as well, Particularly things in my parents home. My grandmother died a few years ago and they have what she had, and sadly, she sold much of what she had in her later years. If only I could get some of it back, oh man.

Seriously, of my own things, I have plenty of things I wouldn't sell, I will try to think about my post prized possession and let you know.

I have a little blown glass figurine in the shape of an angel that my boys gave to me one Mother's Day. I wouldn't part with that for anything.

In the most dire of circumstances like needing money for a lifesaving operation for a loved one, of course everything has its price.

But if that is not the case, it would be my mother's diamond from her engagement ring. It is now part of my wedding set. The diamond is not large but it is a European cut, very unusual.

I want to pass it to my DD.

The question is...would she then sell it for a dollar sign with lots of zeroes behind it?

My heirlooms probably are only valuable to me, so there's no point selling them for whatever reason. But other things that are kinda special, if the need arose, I could part with.

One time I sold diamond earrings to pay for my dog's surgery - she was WAY more valuable than any stones. And this year I came within inches of getting rid of my Amish oak dining room because it was not gonna fit in the new house. Whew! Close call, lol.

It's great to have special things, but they don't rule my life.

:cool:

Aarcyn - My mom's engagement ring, a big ol' vintage saphire, she passed directly to my dd on her 18th BDay. They are both September babies. Funny, my dgd shares my birthmonth too - April. She's 3 and already interested in my jewelry, chip off the old block.

I have a drum table that was my maternal grandmother's. My mother loved it. I have it in my crawlspace:eek:. I was going to give it to my DS34, but he keeps getting divorced so much that I don't want it to go to any future former wife:( It needs to be sanded and stained, but it's beautiful. I am unsure how old it is, but I'll never sell it.
I also have a small blue sugar and creamer that came over on the boat from Belgium with my DH's great grandparents. I also promised that to the DS, but for the same reason it's staying in my china cabinet.
Oh, and every year when we decorate the Christmas tree, there is one ornament that only I put on the tree.
It is a cheap cornsilk ornament that was my grandma's...it has a tiny picture of an angel's face glued on it. My mother used to hang it on her tree, and now I do the same, as a rememberance of them. I am thinking of giving it to my only daughter...she "gets" it...she always makes sure no one else hangs it.

I'd keep my engagement ring, other than that I'd sell my soul to the devil I reckon for the right reason.
