Semi OT moving overseas

[Stephanie_B]

I haven’t posted in a long time. Long story short, back injuries leading to two surgeries and years of injections the got diagnosed with RA and fibro...so working out is a rarity most of the time.

ANYWAY we’re moving to a warmer climate at our expense and downsizing house, like going from 5 bedrooms, 3 baths and double dining and living rooms to a 1000 sf 2 bedroom 2 bath...and going through 25 years of stuff is a huge undertaking emotionally and physically. And of course my 3 kiddos are adults now so living on their own except the youngest who will be when we leave.

But, that’s not my question (although for those that have done it share any tips or stories you have with me please so I won’t feel so freaked out).

I have listed my big pieces of equipment on NextDoor and Facebook for sale, not looking for huge money but just because I don’t want to ship.

The issue is I have (and yea I still buy) 300 plus DVDs and some old VHS. I’ll on be taking about 50-100 with me.

What do I do with the rest? My husband says EBay is going to be a nightmare and I agree with how our post office is of late. OTOH I’ve got lots of prized stuff and lots of so so stuff.

I’m also toying with asking my daughter to keep them at their house and sell the, and she can keep like half the profits or something, but she works full time, goes to college her last year full time, and is a stepmom to the cutest 4 year old little girl in the universe so I don’t want to burden her either as she’s already taking family photos and old cards, letters, etc and scrap booking them AND sending them to the cloud for me so there are with us, but not physically,

Ideas? Thoughts?
