Garage Shelving to store those all important collectables

March 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Some of us just hold on to those old vinyl singles or football programmes for sentimental reasons, but the truth is they can be quite valuable to someone. Items which you might have no use for could end up fetching a fortune. You may not realise it, but those old Star Wars toys or Manchester United annuals could do more than take up a space in your garage. With that in mind, it is worth doing some internet research to find out what you – or your family – might have lying around which is actually a collector’s item. After all, you never know when the money might come in handy!
At the same time, there is nothing more frustrating than finding out later on you had something valuable which you simply threw away. Even worse is letting collector’s items perish because you didn’t know their worth. Nowadays, people are more aware they could be sitting on a potential goldmine. The first thing to consider is how to store these items securely so that they don’t get damaged with the advent of time. Many things such as comics can seem commonplace when we buy them, but in years to come they have a value as a token of the past. With that in mind, keeping them out of the way in the garage seems like a good idea. Invest in some good garage shelving and they won’t take up too much space in your house. Garage shelving also ensures that your items won’t be dumped on the floor to get damaged.
The problem with collecting things, from records to badges, is that they can cause clutter and get in the way. That’s why most of us use the garage space as much as possible, to store things which aren’t being used. It makes sense to do that, but often we aren’t utilising the space well enough. Putting in shelves makes the most of the space and makes things easier to find. You might want to be ruthless about getting rid of those things which don’t have any value but which you’ve been hanging onto for too long. Some of it can be recycled or donated to charity as well as just thrown away. That way you’ll be free to organise your garage and just use the garage shelving for those things you want to keep. A bit of research will help you to decide what stays and what goes.
