He hauled it all away, and I got some much needed cash. I sold my piano separately to friends.

I am planning to contact a dealer or two.  Part of the problem may be 
that upholstered furniture needs to conform to a flammability test and a 
lot of the furniture does not have the requisite labels - quite probably 
because it dates from before the time that this was required.

The proceeds benefit adults with disabilities, and the moving, refurbishing and working in the store provides job training. Shopping at a Goodwill store can turn up some real treasures, including clothing.

That's something else I am going to consider.  This is going to be a two 
stage process.  The first is to move into the new apartment and the 
second is to clear what is left.
