Hi, I feel Petes pain in not wanting to take a beating on your old furniture, but I think he might want to reconsider moving it. We are about to move to the Villages from Ohio, after having sold our home here in Ohio. We took invenory of our furniture and decided that we wanted to start with a fresh look in our new Florida home. It didn't seem that most of what we have here would work well in the new house and I wasn't looking forward to moving it. What we did was to offer most of our old furniture (at a fair price) to the people that bought our house and they took it all. We took advantage of the new pricing that the Villages is offering and will use the savings to help buy new furniture. We plan to make an adventure out of furniture shopping and hope to not be sitting on boxes very long. Good luck
