EEEKKK - More rage and frustration

I'm finding I am bringing items back to my old house from the new one - it's like moving in reverse. I needed toothpaste, postage stamps, bathroom tissue, body wash, rubbing alcohol and a few other things I had to bring back. Now I have to try to remember to get some more seasonable clothing when I'm there next. I have trouble finding things, too, in all that jumble of boxes and bins. I still haven't found my state quarters coin books!

I didn't do any moving today. I had a doctor's appointment this morning and it was like driving through a car wash it was raining so hard. Got damp four times. I went in the wrong building first of all, then back out and to the right building, then back out when I was done. That heavy a rain precludes any moving.

Will wonders never cease? Two people actually showed up today to buy things I advertised. A man bought two signs I found in the garage. One my dad made in the 1970s when he was selling antique bottles he found to earn a little extra money. The other was a sign of the realty company that sold the house my parents had before the current one. After him, a woman came to get the bed frame my mom used.

So, are you going to stay in your old house?
 
Until I can move everything I can by myself or have another trash service come in and get the things I couldn't get into the roll-off. Then I have to hire a mover to get the "big" items like the bed, dressers, desks, bookcases, living room and dining room furniture, hutches and fridge.
 
As usual, I am having trouble making a decision...what moving company to hire for the "big stuff". I have pretty much moved what I can myself except for the residual items on the front porch. I have large plastic bags and boxes of clothes and stuff I plan on donating to any charity or thrift shop that will take them (no luck so far on that issue).

There aren't that many local moving companies around here and after reading reviews on Yelp, BBB and Angi, I am even more confused. They all get a gamut of opinions from excellent to horrible.

Well you just gotta pick one.. and a little tip..Don't pick any that say 'horrible'....:ROFLMAO: you might actually try ringing around and seeing if any removal companies have a removal service specifically for elderly or disabled whereby they will ensure all your items are placed in the proper and specific area in your home, so you don't have to...

I gotta admit I'm getting a little concerned that you haven't moved into your new home yet, because you never know whose been watching an 'old lady' move personal items in all by herself into the new house, and then leave the house unattended for days and weeks..
I think you need to get a wriggle on and get into that new house asap...

I had cleared enough away from the middle bedroom closet door to look inside. Guess what...it was filled up to my shoulders with curtains, drapes and bedding. I cleared out about half, then thought to take some photos - I couldn't believe it myself. And I thought those curtains stuffed in the window seat were were enough to make Job swear! First photo is the closet after I had pulled out about half the contents. Other are the heaps I had. Looks like the city mission is in for another donation. My question is why did my mom feel she had to have so many curtains, drapes and comforters? Most of those window dressings don't even fit the house windows.

Shopping may have been one of your mom's comforts in life.

Only one gave me an estimate - $140K, tops. That's still more than the man that offered me $60K. One other realtor said they would decide a price AFTER I signed them on as an agent - that seems kind of a cart before the horse proposal to me.

That is sleazy-Any reputable RE agent will give you an estimate of a selling price. This smacks of the old "we have a buyer for your house" scam. You sign with them and are told the buyer changed their mind, and you are signed up with these people.
