Add movers to load and unload them and your costs start to increase. You have to figure your budget and call some people and decide how much you’re doing yourself.
Dam, with the exception of our 1886 vintage grandmother clock, all the furniture in our house probably doesn’t add up to $10K. Scrap all the stuff and reload with some really good quality and affordable used furniture. The Villages, and the surrounding areas, probably has one of the highest mortality rates of well to do folks you’ll ever come across. Take advantage of the incredible bargain hunting opportunity and let the old stuff go.
