Everything must go. I'm starting over. Everything from trapping/hunting to machining/fabricating to early car/truck projects in the man's dept. to beauty shop/supplies for those with feminine pronouns. Obviously tons of furnishings and such in between.

Ain't listed yet. I haven't decided which way to go. Looking for advice.
I have to be out in June, or possibly a couple extensions into 2024. So looking to sell quickly, but with plenty of warning for preparation time.

Where is it listed? Have any good crosscuts, axes, tradbows? Not exactly. Have a half dozen chainsaws, axes/hatchets/machetes and archery (crossbow) stuff.

To be honest top dollar is less important than getting rid of everything. I don't want to give it all away, but, I do want it all gone.

How much time do you want to deal with tire-kickers? Craigslist is an option but then you get some real crazies you have to deal with. K-bid might be a good option to look into and if it doesn't sell then Craigslist or Facebook Market perhaps.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Auction. people get greedy and start bidding wars paying over value. A good auction company will get you top dollar as the more you make the more they make. Tell them you want the option to No-Sale if you don't like the bid price. Estate sales are like yard sales. They bring out the people wanting to beat you down so they can put on Ebay or at their auction.

I just had a garage sale yesterday on things I no longer wanted and had planned to have it for 3 days. I listed it on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, a Nisswa Neighbor's forum, and my Facebook page along with 10 photos and a partial description of some very reasonable prices. I was almost half sold out in the first hour and by the end of the first day, everything was gone. If you are more concerned about getting rid of stuff than making money, price things low enough and it will be gone. Garage sales are a lot of work, but you don't have to pay anyone else for commissions.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

At this point, I ain't got clue one. It's an "offer I can't refuse". New developement coming all around me. I can either take the money and run, or I can stay in a world that i would hardly recognize. Actually, if i chose the latter i would put up several acres of solar grids for the new yuppies to stare at out their million dollar window.

I've heard some auction companies getting like 25% these days. I think I would cherry pick my most expensive items and try to sell them myself and then auction off what's left.
Poor people have poor ways.
