We have an overseas moving coming up in the future, with a stop in D.C. along the way for a few months. Although we don't know exactly when we will be moving (it could be 2-7 months), we decided it would be better to sell our large furniture items now. After all, it is garage sale season, and we will get better prices now than later. Also, if we move in the middle of winter, it would be really hard to move them in the snow and ice. So, now is the time.
I started by listing the items on Craigslist.com, and then put up garage sale posts on various websites.

http://www.yardsalesearch.com, http://www.tagsellit.com and http://www.atgaragesale.com. I put notices in that our garage sale is from May 15-18, but that some furniture items are available for pre-sale at full price. These sites are all free, but some offer highlighted listings that stay at the top for a price. One site offers this premium service for a fee or for free if you advertise their site on your blog. You can see that one in the sidebar.
If you are interested in some furniture, you can check out my listings on Craigslist. Remember that I am in Waconia, MN, and I'm selling locally only.

If the listings are no longer there, that item has sold.
