Yard sale.
If they get it for nothing they will want you to pay them to take it away.
If you ask for money they will want you to drop the price, and
If they can't whittle you down on the price they will steal it.
Can you ship it all there and get rid of it when you know you do not need it?

DH is worried about hiring a moving company. He says he's heard too many rip-off stories.

I'm about to the point of tossing it all out. I might have to once he leaves on the 23rd.

Ah Debby, whine all you want! People amaze me sometimes too.

LOL, that's it! I need more duct tape!

Definitely, you have to hire a reputable mover. Might not be worth the cost of your things.
but there is always U-Haul.

See what I mean? Stories like that. Or the ones where movers hold your stuff hostage until you pay over & above their quote to get your stuff back.

U-Haul options are:
1. I pull a very small one behind my Kia Soul for 1,900+ miles
2. I rent a big one and tow my car
Not very appealing.

I'm thinking get rid of about 85-90% of our stuff might be the answer. My new plan is to concentrate on only the things that can't be replaced easily. They do have stores in WY, if we have to buy some things again that might be cheaper than dragging stuff across the country. And way easier.

Now if I could only get DH to LABEL the *$@% boxes he's packing!

trash everything, except pics, and keepsakes........

live on air mattresses and bean bag chairs......eat on plastic patio furniture, until you gradually replace it all with the real stuff after getting there......

be fun, like college life again, where your coffee table doubles as a beer cooler......

igloo coffee table were all the rage in school.......

My mother moved from WV to AZ and back, and we hired a mover both ways. No horror stories, except they did have a breakdown along the way back. But they sent a new truck out, transferred the entire contents, and got it here on time.

She did have to wait until they had a full truck, shared a truck with someone else, since it was such a long move and she didn't have enough to fill one. Plus it was cheaper to share. I think one box went to the wrong place, but they brought it to her right away.

My mom had a great moving company in Denver. Some of them are reputable.

Make sense? Are you talking to me Chris? Have you seen my new avatar?
