The dangers of buying wholesale yarn

I will admit it I am a pack rat. I collect sci/fi fantasy books, soaping stuff (equipment, ingredients, essential oils etc), recipes, knitting patterns, needles and yarn...

So when a pack rat like me has the brilliant idea of buying 190 balls of yarn wholesale to resell on ebay I suppose I am just asking for trouble. I now have two huge boxes downstairs full of Sirdar yarn. To give you an idea here's the list:

  • Snuggly Tiny Tots (10 balls of each)
    • 0932 snug (baby blue)
    • 0930 bliss (baby pink)
    • 0929 hush (white)
    • 0931 coy (mint)
    • 0933 cosy (cream)
    • 0928 tender (pale lilac)
  • Click DK
    • 0118 blossom (peachy pink) - 20 balls
    • 0117pistachio (pale green) - 30 balls
  • Juicy DK
    • 427 watermelon (pink) - 10 balls
    • 426 nectarine (peach) - 20 balls
    • 429 lychee (cream) - 30 balls
    • 428 coconut milk (white) - 20 balls

Of course now I don't want to sell them, well I suppose I'm ok with selling the snuggly tiny tots and at a push the click can go but letting that wonderful Juicy bamboo/cotton yarn go is just out of the question...

I know I have to sell it, I can't afford to keep it, and in my defense I have packaged it away but I haven't taken the pictures or put it up for sale yet. I'm going to try very hard to do it tomorrow (I need daylight to take the photos). Or maybe I can just sell the tiny tots and keep the rest LOL
