Well, first thing, congratulations on all the favorable developments. The new place looks great. I onced owned a condo across the street from a really good grocery store. That was like paradise – I could go shopping during the half time of a football game. I can’t imagine having all those amenities you are going to have so close, though I know it’s different in big cities where crowds are a problem.

When I left the United States, I had to get rid of everything I owned within two weeks time. A friend of mine had a son who was going to get married in the next year or so – he bought everything for two thousand dollars. This was a real bagain, but the convenience made it worth while. I kept all my books, my collection of books is enormous, all my clothes, and family items, everything else gone. That’s still a fire sale price, on steroids, I had nice furniture and three TVs one that I loved, (I kept my stereos, but they’re crappy), but I was pressed for time. I consider it a miracle that I got every thing moved out in those two weeks.

Maybe you know of someone who’s got children moving out of the nest or what not. Plus you teach at a University, some of those folks have to out fit their digs.

Good luck, and again, congratulations.

I don’t know if Craigslist has taken off there yet, but that’s how I dump stuff here. I’m often surprised at how lightning-quick people respond to things.
