I'm leaving my home country in a few weeks to study in Toronto. I won't be staying in res or homestay as I am bringing my cats with me as well, and I feel I'm a little old for dorm life. By the looks of it I have my own apartment by sep 1st.
So I have my household content on sale on various facebook groups and "kijiji! style sites where I live and sure, I am getting offers. Today I was offered $45 for my memoryfoam bed topper which cost me almost $300 less than a year ago. For the entire bed (springbox and topper bought new for $1000) I was just now offered $300. I mean seriously? And don't even get me started on everything else I have to get rid of. Not to mention all the electrical small appliances. ARGH!
This has now got me thinking that maybe it's worth shipping my stuff. Storage will easily cost me $4000/year if not more. Selling for peanuts seems to be false economy as shipping might cost me $2500 (and that's on the high end estimate based on the quote I have for what was planned to be shipped). The sofa I'm not bringing. Love the look, hate sitting on it (rock hard). A friend is interested and I am thinking of gifting it to her.
I know that if it doesn't work on 110 it's not going.
What would you do?
