We moved in April from Chattanooga and paid 11k for 2 br, large study unit, large dark dining room set (regret this) couch, Loveseat, chair, 2 recliners, exercise equipment, and lots of tools.
We got many bids, from 7k to 11k. I had an independent driver explain that drivers bid on jobs without putting all of costs in and the end prices all come out about the same. Three of national companies came out within just a few dollars of each other and the local one offered used boxes.
It sounds like you have a good price, but I agree that you should dispose of furniture that you think you will be replacing here. The 2nd hand stores are full of really nice traditional furniture and you can't sell it for nearly as much as you can at home.
