There sort of was, but it was just a PS3 vs 360 proxy war, and I saw more of it on gaming side.
The only furniture that I am keeping is some modular shelving that can collapse to basically no space if I take it apart. Almost all of our appliances are going too. Definitely the big ones.
Personal stuff is a different matter. I have modest collections of SNES and Saturn games (both libraries could fit into a single box), but with the way used game prices have gone since I bought those titles, that collection is worth close to $2k. It's one of those situations where the extra cash would be nice for the move, but I know that I would never be able to justify repurchasing any of that stuff again. I halved my recent gen collections, but I have already pruned the older stuff in previous moves.
We also don't want to get rid of too much of my daughter's stuff, since it will be hard enough to move to a new house at 3 years old. She was a baby when we moved to our current place, so this is all she remembers.
This biggest hit besides furniture in this move is books. My wife and I had 4 full six-foot bookshelves of books. 75% of those are gone. I have a collection of non-fiction hardcovers that are out of print and will never be re-printed in any format. Some of those are coming. Most of the rest are books for my daughter currently, or in the future.
We moved 8 miles and it was STILL HARD on our 3 year old. In a week she was over it and loving the new house
