We are going to do the yard sale not only to unload some of our unneeded stuff but also to help my DH's parents (who are 79 and 80) unload some of theirs. They need help hauling stuff from the basement no matter what, even if it just gets donated. Everything that doesn't sell will be donated to charity after the sale. It's a family bonding thing too...if we can make enough to offset our trip, I'll be happy.
