C.R.A.P. stands for Conserved Resources Awaiting Purpose.
For most of my life I have been a conservationist, naturalist, educator, writer, observer of human behavior, occasional eBay reseller, and collector of stories. Along the way, I have noticed that people save things. Lots of things. We save things that are useful, things that are sentimental, things that are valuable, things that are mysterious, and sometimes things that haven't worked since 1981.
This blog is dedicated to the observation, study, appreciation, occasional use, and periodic redistribution of C.R.A.P. Wherever possible, we seek to understand what things are, where they came from, why they were saved, whether they still have value, and if they might find a new purpose rather than a trip to the landfill.
Topics may include estate sales, garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, household archaeology, family history, stewardship, conservation, eBay adventures, and the curious relationship between people and the things they accumulate.
In short, I live my life, I notice things, I write about them...and occasionally I list and sell C.R.A.P. online.
Welcome aboard.
