Default How did you downsize??

As we look around our house we realize that most of what we have, we will not want to take with us when we move to the villages.

I don't mind cleaning out closets, the garage, giving away, donating and throwing away things no longer needed.

BUT, how do I get rid of valuables? Like sterling flatware, trays etc, china, crystal, a mink jacket I wore twice and will never wear again, valuable antique furniture etc.??

I don't want to just give them away, I'd like to sell them to individuals who would find them valuable. But how do you find buyers, and how do you find out the true value of these types of things?

I'm sure many of you had to face these situations too.

Please post and let us newbies know what you got rid of, how you did it, and what you wish you had gotten rid of, that perhaps you didn't?

Thanks in Advance!!!!
