Due to recent job loss, I am having to move out of state and I am unable to take my household items/furniture/barbie collection/TV's and other items with me. I want to get the best value I can for my items and I am faced with either having a huge moving sale or having an auction service take everything. Since this is the weekend before Christmas and I live in Northern Michigan, I don't know how a moving sale would work and since I live in an apartment, I would have to open my home up for everyone to pick through. I am planning on leaving in one week, and I don't know what I should do. One auction place offered me a buyout for $900 for everything, but that's almost giving my stuff away. The other auction place will pick up everything and hold an estate sale in January, and after thier 30% cut, I get the rest, and they do have a good reputation according to the Better Business Bureau. I feel I would get a better value, but I hate leaving my stuff behind. Any advice??
