Time is also valuable, so unless it will sell for a lot, it goes in the donate or trash pile. Lots of items are just not worth the time it takes to market them when you are trying to move. Word to the wise; start the thinning out process as soon as you even think you are going to retire in a different location. Packing, sorting and fixing takes more time than you think.
