We have moved from a five bedroom home to a two bedroom in a senior community. We had 2 yard sales. The first was just a small one getting rid of knick- knacks. One little old lady nearly cleaned us out of our brass without anyone noticing her. The next one we hired professionals and included things like furniture (don't think anything walked away unpaid then). Then I donated the rest to The People with AIDS Coalition. They use some things directly for clients, the rest they sell in a well run thrift store. The store was staffed by volunteers and a few full time employees who also were patients. YES, we still brought too much with us. Be brutal. Your most important rooms are going to be bedroom, sewing, tv, kitchen and baths. Be brutal. Good luck. You will love it!
