Yeah, that's a big problem with modern consumerism: with money to spend, buying stuff is too easy compared to the effort to part with it later.

Although if you 'have' to move fast, there's companies that specialize in house clearing (as another poster noted). Some thrift stores also do this, provided the resale <-> trash ratio is acceptable to them.

Right, the missing niche is the fast piecemeal service AFAICT. Not "look through all my stuff and try to sell it" but "take maybe as little as one item I want to sell, today, seamlessly, and appraise and sell it"
