- Not sure I’d bank on tastes coming back around—my parents held onto a bunch of 70s fixtures and, honestly, they’re still collecting dust.
- eBay or Facebook Marketplace might net a few bucks, especially if you’re patient.
- Salvage yards are hit-or-miss for cash, but worth a shot if you’re clearing space.
- Personally, I’d rather have the closet space than hope for a comeback...
- I get wanting the closet space, but honestly, I've seen some weird old stuff go for way more than you'd think. Not saying every 70s light is a gold mine, but sometimes those “ugly” fixtures end up being just what someone’s hunting for.
- Marketplace can be slow, yeah, but if you’re not in a rush, it’s basically free money.
- Salvage yards are hit-or-miss, agreed, and they tend to lowball you.
- I’d probably post them for a month or two before hauling them out—never hurts to try before tossing.
- Seen it myself—stuff I thought was junk ended up being “vintage” and someone paid for it.
- Marketplace is a bit of a waiting game, but hey, if you’re not tripping over the boxes, why not?
- Salvage yards... yeah, they’ll give you pennies. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even worth the gas.
- One thing—if the fixtures are heavy or have weird wiring, just be careful pulling them down. Some of those old ones are built like tanks.
