Thanks for all the advice. If I can't fit all the books reasonably well in our TV home, then I'll donate to Mark Twain library. Making a deal based on volume rather than weight makes sense as delivery people were definitely complaining when they had to carry so many cartons of books to our place in VA. Don't know about E-bay, Amazon or Craiglists. Was told I have to be savvy regarding pay pal, etc. We thought of checking those groups to get rid of dining sets, living room items etc. But don't know. I put all my music into my I-pod so technically I don't need all those CDs and LPs. Thankfully, no 78s. I wish I had Alladin or a magic wand to clear them. I know of a friend who had to purchase a bigger home in TV just for the sake of the furnitures. We don't want to do that. Isn't the whole purpose of moving to TV to start a new life with a carefree lifestyle?
