[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2876751, member: 30309"] Well, three pages in and as always, I'm getting sage advice. Thanks for all the input everyone. There's some very valid points about not limiting the potential buyer pool and remembering that it's not about me as the seller, it's about the buyer and their checkbook! I guess I lost perspective of just what we are trying to do. I needed to see it from the buyers perspective, not the sellers. The realtor did bring up the idea of staging the house and I'm not opposed to it, so we're starting to really go through the house and either sell, donate, toss, or give away a lot of the stuff we have accumulated. It's going to be hard enough moving everything 3500 miles. the less we have the better! We have a household's worth of crap that maintained a family of 6, we are now down to our last kiddo and she's going with us. Sometimes I forget how much we accumulated raising a family with 4 kids. Sheesh! Not to mention the big purchases like the two fish tanks, the hot tub etc.. that we have to sell off. So, the wife and I sat down and made the decision that the reloading stuff and ammo is going to get packed away for now. I'm going to go ahead and reload everything I can, get it organized so that we can continue to practice and compete. The reloading stuff can always be brought back out temporarily to make more ammo should the need arise. It's all going in sealed containers so I decided to order a large bag of silica beads to make large desiccant packs for each of the plastic tubs. As for the guns - those that are not being shot regularly will be going into secured storage with a family member until it time to move. The rest will live in the safe or purse or whatever. out of sight, out of mind. Those that we cannot take with us immediately will be shipped to our new place. The safe will be explained as "valuables and paperwork storage" to potential buyers, nothing more (though they will most likely have it figured out!) and will most likely be included in the house purchase, assuming the buyer wants it. We have been preparing for this move financially for 4 years, so we are ready to get this DONE! In short: the buyer doesn't need to appreciate my hobbies, they just need to appreciate the HOUSE.
