This is brilliant advice - but not everyone knows that they are moving in two years. The pandemic and health issues forced us to move within a four month period. But even if we had two years, the sad truth is that most used items (furniture, books, pictures, garage tools, sports equipment) aren’t worth anywhere near what you think they are worth. I was stunned that pictures with nice frames sold for far less than the frame was worth! And those souvenirs that you have picked up over the years are worth nothing.
