I’m currently in the process of going through my son’s Geo Trax train set and getting it ready to sell on Craigslist. I’m hoping to get about $125 for it. He started collecting the Geo Trax trains when he was about 3, and since then he’s gotten a ton of them. He used to play with them every day, but he’s 9 year old now, and I guess he’s outgrown the set. They are for younger children, even though I still think they are fun. They’ve been sitting packed away for quite some time now, and honestly I need to make room for new stuff, if you know what I mean. He barely has any room in his bedroom as it is for anything, and my closet was also full of stuff that he hadn’t played with in quite awhile. The Geo Trax themselves takes up 3 giant sized plastic bins and doesn’t leave alot of room in my closet for much else. My closet is more of a storage area right now, and I’m kind of tired of it.

Anyway, he’s ok with me selling his Geo Trax stuff. We discussed it and he doesn’t use it anymore, plus I told him I’d use the money to buy him Christmas presents. He’s especially ok with that. I guess the only thing is, I didn’t expect it to take so long to go through all of the train sets. I had to verify that each train still worked. He has 5 battery powered trains, and he has 3 or 4 that are not powered.

I’m also going to go through his closet and his bedroom and start getting rid of some of his old and broken stuff. He’s a big boy now, and doesn’t need half the junk he still has, plus with all the new toys coming in this year, he’s just not going to have space for it all.
