I want to sell lots of my furniture before I go into a Retirement Community. Does anyone know good ways to do this? [View all]

I guess I could have a yard sale but that seems like an awful lot of work just to sell bits of stuff.

We're bringing some furniture but will still have big pieces to get rid of.

Any recommendations are welcome!
