A couch, loveseat and chair, (leather) will be $11,000. So if there is room bring everything, then get rid of when you find something else. People are always looking for furniture to put in rentals.
We brought two bedroom set, all of our side tables, dining set. Then we filled the pod with stuff we may or not need, but you need to fill completely to keep from shifting. Since your weight isn’t an issue, we brought more than we originally thought.
Total move midsize pod was $2,485 from Mid MI, in 6/2022. We loaded, and unloaded ourselves, but pods had list of people to use.
Best part of dining set that we were not going to bring, we sold here for $1100. So for us move became really cheap.

We bought an entire new set of living room furniture (sofa and 2 chairs, leather with power recliners) end tables, 4 bedside tables and large table for the living room tv for less than $6,000 at Rooms for More when we moved here on 2020. Moving our old stuff from Pennsylvania would have cost as much. We moved only what we absolutely wanted and needed, bought the rest and are way ahead with less heavy moving necessary.
