I am sort of taking the opposite route and actually buying more furniture now to take with me. Ikea is 2 miles from my home in Oakland, and I have a 1BR 600 sq ft and will be building a 2BR house double that size. I might as well get furnishings I like now for much less. The smallest container is 20ft which is huge, but also expensive ($4300 was my quote). After moving out from the home shared with my ex and having almost no furniture, I've been on a buying spree the past few months knowing it would all be coming with me to Hawaii. The winter clothes won't come with me and I guess I will finally be getting rid of LPs I haven't played in years. Everything else is coming with and what I have is worth far more than shipping costs.
