    Hi Gary, All good ideas.  Also, we always tell sellers to have that garage sale before listing not before moving.  Get rid of everything they don't intend to keep after the move!  ~Lisa

    I just read this same list on someones blog , posted in Pennsylvania...it must be making the rounds today. This is a good check list, if you can get your seller to do them all.
