We had an estate sale before we moved from our 5000 sq ft home to a 1500 sq ft CYV. They come in and price and stage everything. Things not sold on day one are reduced by 50%. After that you can donate or whatever with the things left. 97% of our Stuff sold and the rest was donated. The estate sale people even clean up afterward. They charge 30% and it was worth every penny. If you have already moved your things this process might not work as well. BTW, I haven't missed anything that I sold.
