I just have....way too much!! And stuff I will probably never use.
I honestly don't have the inclination to sell it in bits and pieces. So would you box it all up and donate somewhere and if so where? or would you group like minded things together, like all the Stampin' Up stamps and sell as a lot and if so, where is the best place? Here? somewhere else?

personally, I box it up and donate to a local thrift store but I don't have especially desirable stuff. A friend tends to mail me the stuff she's getting rid of so if you have a scrapbook buddy, maybe see if they want it?
Yeah stuff like Stampin' Up or OA or BG etc...would probably sell as lots. the FSOT board here or FB marketplace or I'm hearing good things about Mercari (haven't used)

I box up and put on freecycle. There is always someone to take it.

I used to donate it to my niece and nephews classes. But they moved, so I have a bunch of stuff to go again.

I just had to pack up my mom's crafting room after we had to move her into assisted living. The amount of stuff was overwhelming. In the end the majority of it went to her best friend. She is going to keep what she wants and find homes for the rest (ex: the quilting fabric went to a local church group). As for my own stuff I toss or donate just like everything else in the house.

A friend tends to mail me the stuff she's getting rid of so if you have a scrapbook buddy, maybe see if they want it? This is what I do. I just bought a large plastic bag full of new CM letter stickers, all colors for $5. I also picked up 2 8x8 scrapbooks that a local church uses to make baby books for their NICU project. I'm grateful when people donate to thrift shops. Facebook marketplace is also a good place, even if you are giving it away. My friends usually give me first look at whatever they are getting rid of.

There is a store that has a garage sale every year. We missed last year due to Covid but it was back this year. With the stuff that doesn't sell, I start in my crafting group, then a general FB group. After that, donate.

I have a friend that gets some of my stuff. Other times I fill up a 12 x 12 ziploc bag, label it, and donate.

If you're planning to sell it think about/research shipping before you make too many decisions - 12x12 stuff is harder and more expensive to ship, might be better for local pickup (Fbk Marketplace, a Buy Nothing group) or just to donate if you have a thrift shop that has a craft section. Using flat rate boxes makes it easier to predict shipping costs if you're offering stuff for sale online. I favor giving things away unless you really need the money. It's just a headache to sell things. Having someone cover the cost of the shipping is going to be about $8, $15 or $20 if you use flat rate boxes, so that adds a lot to the cost for them. you can get free shipping boxes at usps online, delivered to your house: these are flat rate, I think paper would fit on an angle, and these ones which are only available online are not flat rate (the rate changes based on the distance you're mailing it) but they seem like they would be an ideal size for 12x12 supplies. There's a postage calculator online so you can quote a buyer an accurate cost for shipping.

Facebook market place was my best source for selling most stuff. Good paper -- old original stuff still in original packets, went well on the sales board here. This is where people recognize "good paper" -- not in a garage sale or on Facebook. scrappinghappy PS -- If you have any "foldables" from Sassafrass Lass - or paper from them -- I'd like to talk to you!

I kept the “good stuff” to sell. The other stuff I donated to several assisted living facilities. I was donating a bunch of my mother-in-law’s books at the same time, so it was easy enough to include scrapbooking stuff. They were thrilled to get a bag.
