I live in apartments and move 3-4 times per year so it is a big pain in the ass using traditional methods. I end up with a lot of bad incidents thanks to obama. I'm looking for fast, easy, tricks to this. Maybe some type of informercial style product.

good god man, stop moving or just stop hanging shit up. Hell if I was moving that much, I wouldn't even bother to unpack anything beyond bare necessities.

These things.
I think they claim to hold up to 35 lbs. I've hung large mirrors (almost the width of a full sized bed and a couple feet tall) with them and they seem to work fine.
The holes are barely bigger than a push pin.

We have some Hercules hooks. They rock unless you run in to something after pushing through the dry wall

Hang what on the wall? Posters? Hats? Heavy paintings? Televisions?

you must have AWESOME credit

i want to hang mostly paintings and a few jerseys.

^that has nothing to do with credit compared to just renting at one place. obviously buying builds credit and i own a home in raleigh but dont use it.

Command strips are great for light stuff (< 10 lbs). A framed jersey would probably be no sweat for the larger ones, or you can use one on each side of the frame.

For heavier stuff like paintings, these guys do well in pairs and do less damage than a large nail or a wall anchor (2 very small holes vs. one bigger and harder to fill one):

I agree. I rented an apartment in Cary knowing that I would be moving to Greensboro in a year. Outside of my furniture and clothes, I only unpacked what I needed (dishes, silverware, pots/pans) and left everything else in boxes.

I've done that in the past and ladies always rather me come to their place.

^ which is a win. Once you're done you can leave, rather than having the awkward "ok, we're done, time for you to leave" conversation.
