I am in East Mesa and I am trying to get rid of my dad's stuff. We are having a moving sale and have had good luck getting rid of the junk but not the furniture. I listed the dining room china cabinet and table on

Craig's list, and have a bedroom set too.

I need to get back to Oregon next week. Does anyone know about consignment shops or anything? My dad is 89 and can't deal with this and I need to get back home. I need the house empty to get carpeting installed and get it on the market.

Any advice is appreciated!

Different consignment shops operate differently. Most charge a percentage of the sale price, but some can be as high as 50% or more. You might b able to look in the phone book and call around. You could also try used furniture stores.

If you have talked to a realtor, ask about including the furniture with the house. Another option would be to keep it in the house until either the house sold or you make other arrangements for it. A house generally shows better with some furniture, especially a few nice pieces. Buyers can get an idea of what it will look like with your own there.

If all else fails you may be able to donate it and get a deduction on your taxes.

I have also seen furniture on ebay.

Hope this helps

There are a few of them around. Terrie's Consign and Design is a popular choice. I'm not sure what their fees are but I do know that they come to your house for you. HTH!!!
