I just spent 11 DAYS moving from one upstairs apartment to another upstairs apartment.
The tonnage of junk I've collected over the 11 YEARS I spent in my old apartment leaves me shell-shocked. Even I had no idea of the scale. I filled 2 DUMPSTERS with stuff I was saving to scratchbuild props and models, and I still have no room in the new place!
I won't offer an inventory, suffice it to say I've got more than my share of books, comics, magazines, models, and toys.
The last to leave the old place was my 7-foot stardestroyer, which I brought over a few minutes ago. It needs some repairs since my cat Crow thought it would be fun to climb inside it!
Many thanks to the crew at Antarctic Press who took time from their very busy schedules to bucket brigade box after box, and bookshelf after bookshelf to my new place.
It will take me weeks to sort and store the maze of boxes here, but work has finally caught up with me.
Next time I move, I'm gonna put Crow under my arm and just walk out the door.
Might be time to open an eBay account...

If you're serious about the eBay, try out Craigslist first. I got rid of a lotta toys, comics and VHS that I didn't need anymore, and there's no mailing (assuming you live in a decent sized city). People will come pick up whatever they buy, and it's free to list. It's the best!
which reminds me, I could stand to do some spring cleaning, but it's such a hassle...
I did indeed "cull the herd", but it broke my heart to dump so much gear I was saving to build my sandtrooper's custom equipment.
...just pray you don't need it in a hurry.
I used to be in the Army, and when it came time to pick up and move...well, one usually did not have all that much time to do it in.
I have had my fair share of moving myself, and helping to move, so I do feel your pain. To avoid that, at least for me, I found that it paid to not have a lot of stuff... or at least go through it all and "Cull the Herd" so to speak. However, t is interesting to note that after I got out of the Army, I got a lot more stuff, most of it furniture...
You may want to consider selling off or just getting rid of some of that stuff. I am sure you could find a LOT of buyers in your local area and on EBay...
...Though before you get rid of it, I would LOVE to see a picture of that 7ft. Star Destroyer
