That was two years ago and within the next two years, we hope to make TV our final destination. I expect that we'll do like another poster and make a list of furniture, etc and offer to the next buyer at a price they can't refuse.
We did the same thing when we moved to The Villages. Problem is, as with all auctions, you see $200,000 worth of sell for $12,000.
