Yeah, you do make a good point. I might see about giving it away to someone who could use it.

You are like my packing twin. I love my clothes however I always pack them in trash bags. Then I throw away a whole bunch of stuff, and think about all the money I have wasted.

There is never a reason to leave stuff behind that is yours, donate it to Goodwill, they will come and get it in most cases and you can count the donation as a charitable one for tax purposes.

You get the tax benefit as well as knowing your stuff will be given to a place that furnishes those with needs.

Haha. I love my clothes too but packing them any other way would cost too much. I have enough clothes to not have to wash them for between six and nine months and still have a few clean items.
I personally feel like if I am not getting my deposit back (Which I NEVER have, no matter how spic and span I have left the apartment.) That they should deal with that crap then. Yeah it may not be entirely appropriate but they always find an excuse to keep your deposit anyways. Not even my mother who has fixed every hole scrubbed Any little stain and cleaned the house up cleaner then when we moved into the place, has ever gotten a deposit back on an apartment. It might just be minnesota though lol.

Yeah donating is always good for getting rid of stuff you don't want to throw away but don't want to bring with you. I almost never read a book twice and books are just too heavy and bulky when packing all your stuff in a car lol >.< So I donated a few hundred bucks work of books to my libray and got a reciept for next years taxes... hopefully that means I'll be getting some extra cash next Feb ^-^ Also they have those clothing drop off boxes ... we filled a few of those up. I'm just a pack rat and most of the stuff I get I dont use so whatever I havent worn in about a year goes in the trash when I move and even then I've still got BINS of clothes in the storage at NY it's expensive moving all that stuff across the country >.<

Some of you guys will be happy to know I found some guy who lives in a junk yard who has offered to take all the stuff I don't want anymore and he is going to take it away and everything.

However my whole body still hurts and am not even half way done moving!

I've done the same thing.
I've moved around a lot in my lifetime, and a few times we just couldn't take everything, so we just left. I actually think that they didn't mind much considering that half the stuff I left could be sold for a lot of money.

Moving is something I look forward to. It gives the best change to finally say "bye bye" to my childhood toy's as I leave them at my parents house and I will only be packing the decent stuff that is worth having.

The only problem I found with moving was when I came back home after I graduated from University. I had a double sized bed room with plenty of room, yet at my parents house, I have a tiny box room. So all my stuff is jam packed into this tiny room till I move out.
