We moved July of last year from about 50 miles east of you, that was Bel Air, Maryland. Since we were downsizing to a CYV we gave the buyers almost all of our furniture for $2500 and they took the deal. That also included area rugs, lawn mowers, etc., they got a great deal.
Then I had found a flyer for a guy who for $75 brought over a 7'x10' trailer and parked it in our driveway for a day and then after we filled it he took it to the dump, we had him come over twice. I even sold him my 1997 Chevy Lumina. I did hate having to part with 4,000 record albums.
We then held two yard sales. When everything was done I packed 71 boxes of household goods, clothes, etc. We were moved by Mayflower for $2700, however I would not recommend them. United Van Lines would be my first choice now, in fact they actually made the move because Mayflower was unable to take our load and after 3 weeks we changed movers. It was a mess but we did get a $2000 refund from Mayflower and we only spent $700 for the movers.
