We had the same conundrum as you're experiencing. We had 2 or 3 garage sales and found that prices had to be really, really low for folks to purchase items. We were told by a man in the business of re-sale and estates (even antiques) that despite the quality of and what price we paid on furniture that we'd only get a fraction of what we paid for it. For instance a high end Lexington bedroom set that cost $8k would only bring a few hundred dollars at best. Our kids don't appreciate items as we did so didn't really want much of our items. We took loads to a thrift shop, put alot on the curb for "free".
Good luck!!
