A reader sent me this question:

Q. I basically want to sell all of my things, pack up the car and move out west with nothing. I am looking for a resource on how to do just that. Most specifically, how to sell my items off to help finance the move. I don’t know if I am just not using the right search terms or if the info is not there. I thought given your expertise on moving, you may be able to point me in the right direction. I thank you for any help you can provide.

A. Try “estate sale professional,” especially if you have valuable items. You could also try “How can I sell my furniture.” OR you can just go to craigslist, if you live in a town with craigslist.

But I wouldn’t urge you to rush to do this. Make sure you have a Plan B and a safety net. More here.
