We just did what you did, downsize from Colorado to TV. We had buyers that wanted “stuff” from our home as we had an outdoor kitchen/entertaining area. Sold all that to them. Then sold all the big stuff from Facebook market place. I had a large workshop with big woodworking tools and we had some friends that wanted a few of out items as well. Then we did a 2 day moving sale. Had some friends help us as we were cleaning out 40 years of accumulated stuff. We made about $4k doing that. Then the rest either went to goodwill as they take most stuff, friends of the local library for our book collections. Also donated items to local churches that support women’s shelters and lastly, the tons of blankets went to the dog shelters as they are always in need of things for dogs to sleep on and then send them home with the pet.

Lastly, we drove both cars we had to FL.The SUV was filled with the last remaining items we were keeping as used car prices are very high these days and well, we just like both cars.
