There are also people who will come and buy all your things and then they turn around and have yard sale. I would imagine you have to let your stuff go for less than you would if you were selling it yourself, but to get rid of everything all at once and have someone else haul it away would be worth it to me. Good luck! Hope you can work something out.

I'll be facing the same thing sooner or later. I'm currently in the sorting stage and just trying to decide what to toss, what to sell and what to keep. I've been workin' on it for months now!!
Hi Bettiboop,
I'm starting on the sorting stage too. So far, I've taken a trunk load of nice clothes (that shrunk ) to a shelter and a couple of loads to goodwill. We plan to have an auction house take the big stuff, though we are a ways away. Oh yeah, I also took three box loads of books to Friends of the Library. They have book sales with proceeds going to the local library.
