I am probably going to be moving from Cincinnati to Florida for a job--- I was wondering if it would be cheaper to just sell all my stuff here and get new stuff there, or if i should keep my stuff and haul it down there...if you think i should keep it, is there a cheap way to move it?  I come from a one bedroom apartment..big items are couches, bed, vanity table, living room tables, dining table and chairs, bakers/wine rack, buffet table, tv, stereo system---i don't know-- it seems like alot to haul down -- but also alot to replace (and my matress is less than a year old.) \n\nwhat do you think?

Your taste will change once you hit the different climate.  Florida is sunny, bright colors, and Ohio is, never mind.  Take what you can leave the rest.  Florida is great.  Enjoy!

NO way to do it cheap and safe.\nAlso, due to the size, moving is difficult, unless you can build it in parts, and keep it together while using it.

Hi Christian!\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted!\n(I heard the esperanza area is a great place to find a cardboard box near the dumpster behind a pizza joint?)\n-zealnik

Estate and garage sales are usually priced about the same, mostly pretty good, occasionally priced too high. \n\nUsually I have gotten my best deals at "moving sales". Lots of times ppl haveperfectly good things for sale, and are moving somewhere where they don't have room to take them. \n\nAt an estate sale, because you have the items that an older person accumulated over a lifetime, lots of times there are more antique and collectibles at an estate sale. Sometimes you can get some really nice things that way reasonably. Also you can get lots of household items that you might need if you are just starting out. \n\nThe only time I have found estate sales to be pricy is if they have an antiques dealer or some other sort of professionals run it. I usually avoid those, because they tend to be overpriced. I hope this helps, and "happy sale-ing"! :-)

Try to walk a Baby and a Pet Dinosaur and a Pet Sabertooth,.. all at the same time...  for Miles,.. and what would take hours,..  You can use less energy when you get things started (I'll avoid those words like Kenetic Energy).\n\nMight as well take your giant wheel chair and get some sort of rest.\n\nThen you run into trying to haul around things that weigh hundreds or a thousand pounds,.. like furniture and food.  Everyone pitches in,.. it's alot easier.  Do you expect them to rent a truck every time they go shopping for appliances, food, and furniture that has the same design as their car?  Why waste money like that.

I've done some reading on this subject, and I also have a younger brother in Miami who has bought land down there, by Naples.  We discuss real estate often.\nI was reading an article that said a lot of the people who have been living in South Florida for a long time are all starting to buy places up north.  The reason is that so many people have flooded into South Florida, it has lost the "ruralness" it had 20 years ago.  So, a lot of the long timers are looking to escape the boom that has taken place in South Florida. If I were looking to invest in Florida, I'd probably look more towards the north eastern part of the state.

I don't know anything about Florida but I am a realtor in PA and Summer is when the buyers are looking.  Family's wants to be moved in before school starts and now one wants to move in the winer becasue of the snow.  But I guess since you are in Florida you don't have to worry about that part as much.....Don't worry it will sell just give your realtor some time.  The days on the market for a home in my area is 60-90 days now this time last year its was 30-60 days and year before that is was ONE WEEK.  Interst rates are still low and people are still looking.

If you have to move to stay safe, then get yourself going. Don't worry about the new school you'll be attending. It only takes a couple of weeks to get used to anything new, and I'm sure you'll make a couple of friends by then. I had to move a lot when I was young and I really hated it. Just when I got used to things, my parents would tell me to pack my stuff and we'd move again...six months here, a year there. I went to 5 different schools. But, I do have to say that the last move I made was for the best. We lived on the south side of Chicago and things were getting really bad. I'm so very glad we moved, moving over 200 miles north. It made me relax quite a bit, and I even did better in school, not having to worry about anyone hassling me after school. So, don't worry, little one, things will work out. Especially since it seems your family wants a better life than what they have in your current neighborhood. These things have a way of turning out much better than you could ever imagine. <*)))><

There's no 'easy' way or everyone would be doing it. eBay IS the best option and you don't have to leave your house to sell items. You can have shipping carriers pick up your boxes from the house. \n\nConsider a drop shipper.

go to a local furniture store and ask if you can have a boxand some of their packing material, go in late pm so they have time to unpack their daily orders.\nthen ask the guys in warehouse for packing tips

Think about this logically--Youre on the computer playing and you can check out prices and locations to buy or have them sent to your home, maybe at a shipping cost. Or maybe free. Now I am thinking this must be for a car ?? If so you are at home with the local phone book, look up parts places, get your information together, ( data on car)call them all, compare prices and go buy one, provided you are in an area where there are parts stores. My little town has only about 5 and all the prices are different. So I manage to save money this way. No going thru different  web sights, being thrown from here to there and about 1 hour later you may have a couple prices. I could go on but I won't.  Happy Shopping !

Since you are moving, why don't you have a garage sale.  I mean really clean out everything.  It will be easier to move then too. If you have time, try Ebay.  you'll be able to get better prices there. Also if all else fails, you may have to take a small loan form one of those places that charge you like 25% interest.  But upside to that would be, when your house sells, you can pay it off and save the interest. Hope this helps.  Good Luck.\n\nIt's a shame you have to get answers like some of the ones you got above when you really need help.

i am here now and i would suggest...lotion, your an extra unit patch for when you hit your mark youll look squared away cuz youll have yours, lots of white socks,extra shower shoes,yours will surely break after the first few months, you will have hot water...atleast 99% of the FOBs do now. Just to put it this way...your trip from the states to actual iraq will be a hurry and wait thing...youll be in kuwait for a good minute, not to mention going to other camps until you actually get to yours. Bring ear plugs( its part of your IBAS but bring an extra pair) make sure you have a flashlight for the power occasionally goes out. When you get over here you might have a chance to buy a phone like i did. Dont bother bringing phone cards because most of the places here require certain ones. DEET...yes bring some deet..flys out here are CRAZY. My room has a fridge,microwave, and tv but me and my roomy had to buy them, once you get settled in youll want to buy those things ...bring a power adapter and a power converter...if you have a playstation or things like that youll need to convert them from 220 - 110. I actually sent my DCU's home just because i dont wear them here...or the dark brown t-shirts. The laundry here usually takes 3 days turnaround..it sucks not to be able to do it on your own but you have to adjust right?Bring every pair of eye pro they have issued you because you WILL LOSE a pair or two. Body wash definatley makes life a little easier. 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner helps also. Make sure that in your pack..you pack all of your electronic gear and things youll need in a hurry ...eye pro..underware...so and and so forth..since youll be in kuwait a while you dont want to have to search through you A, B , and C bag for everything you need....Also if you can pack everything in zip lock baggies...it takes the air out and you can fit things more effectively in your duffle. you wont know your addy until about 4 weeks in. so make sure your family knows so. USO will give you gift bags while your at the air field with playing cards, beef jerkey, shit like that...and you have to take it so keep in mind that you will be gettting more things even when your bags are already full. There are also certain sizes that your carry on bag has to be so make sure that you dont pack it too full....good luck with your travel...its a long ride so get as much sleep as you can...i think youll be making a stop in ireland...get a smoke break and stretch out take a pee in an actuall latrine.....just be patient when you leave because itll be a long wait.....good luck!!! anymore questions contact me!!

Dude, a definite yes on the bowflex thing. But get one from a friend which is not being used. You can grab it as a friendly loan, or as an outright gift. The world is filled with people who BUY that kind of thing and the only exercise they get from it is in moving it from their spare room to the basement. When I volunteered at Goodwill Industries, we would see at least two of them a week during the summer, and always that "I gave up on it" look on the person's face who was donating it. We would sell them for less than ten bucks. Do not, if you can possibly avoid it, spend for the thing new. It costs a small fortune. I would have you get it for zero dollars, use it for however long you enjoy having it and then pass it along when you've had enough. You probably already can think of a way to get this for nothing, and I do not mean stealing it. You are going to look so great after you've been using it for even two months... good luck to you and congratulations for wanting to take such great care of your body and general health!  - G. in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

Definitely try to negotiate the price.  If they are not willing to negotiate on the base purchase price they will most likely be willing to negotiate the costs of extras.  And when it comes to tract homes, "everything" is extra.

best sales i been to have clothes sorted by size and other items like knick knacks,wall pictures ect.,organized.dont just throw everything on table for people to rummage through most wont bother. and signs are easy just write garage sale on it and post with address or arrows pointing in direction for people to find and be sure sign is large enough for motorist to see
