I've been selling anything and everything on Ebay and its gone really well. I would recommend quoting that you're emigrating because you tend to get a lot of regular watchers! I've been selling now for about 4 weeks in total - listing new things every day - and I've got some people who are just accumulating stuff and will collect it all when I've finished listing! We've done far better than we expected and its far less hassle than having people call around before they decide whether or not they want it. Get the lot on Ebay I say!

Anyway it better be worth it - house is virtually empty, we are now car-less, jobless, this compter isn't even ours. Accommodation for the 1st month has just been confirmed this morning, and the taxi due here at midday to take us to the airport.
It does get a bit better after the container has gone - knowing that it all fitted in, and what is left in the house is either for the bin, staying or to go in the numerous suitcases. Better go now and check if I can actually close the suitcases!
