We've started selling some of our stuff, in preparation for re-patriating (which is now 72 days away). The most important thing to sell is the BMW. It will hopefully pay for most of the cost of shipping the belongings we do want to keep back to the US because that won't be cheap! We're trying to sell the B'mer for £1000, the exact price it is valued at.
The things we're selling:
The BMW
Clothing Rack
File cabinet
Widescreen television
Xbox + games
Dining room table
Stereo
Vacuum cleaner
Stereo rack
The things we're shipping:
Books
CDs
DVDs
Files
Yoga mats
Beer glasses
Drinks glasses and mugs
Spanish pottery
Rug
Banjo
Bicycle
Waffle maker
Some utensils
Some plates and bowls
A couple of pots and pans
Mementos
Shoes
Clothing
Bed Linen
Bits and pieces
HDD/DVD player
(We've been getting lots of different quotes from shipping companies. Most of them are consolidators. That is, they pack your stuff in boxes and it gets lumped in with other people's boxes in a container. Then it will go by sea. Shipping will take about 8-12 weeks.)
Everything else will be donated to charities, friends, and students.
PS - By the way, we've decided to move to Portland, OR. More about that later!
