When making a large or small move, it's important to consider the "four whats" - what to keep, what to sell, what to give, and what to toss. How to determine these four things is not always easy, but Doug Graham of AYPToday can give you the information needed to help you make the best decision you can.

Doug, a certified appraiser and licensed auctioneer with six years of professional experience provides valuable advice on areas such as:

• Which of my items have value to sell?
• How do I dispose of items such as paint and TVs?
• What are some charities that I can give to?
• How do I sell things on eBay or Craigslist?

Get answers to these questions and more in an informal Q&A. Registration is requested.
