Moving abroad - Sell?
I am moving to teach in Bucharest, aiming to begin our long-held dream of travelling and working in whichever country we choose.
What would you do with all your gear?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Geoff,
I left academia in the mid 90s to become an independent consultant and spent much of the next two decades on long term overseas postings in Africa and Asia. All of my valve and vinyl went into long term storage with a specialist company in Headingley. My vinyl collection was packed in tough plastic crates with large bags of silica gel and emerged in pristine condition. I mention this because the issue is not really one of safe and secure storage, but cost. I have the invoices somewhere, but I really don't even want to contemplate how much I have spent on storage over the years. I don't regret keeping my books or my vinyl, but I did store a lot of bulky items which ended up costing me many more times in storage than they were worth.
You are in a different position as you could easily drive to Bulgaria, so you could consider renting a van to transport your stuff. I would say that as you get older, it is less and less appealing living out of a suitcase, and it is worth considering shipping out your personal possessions to make your new location more of a home than a house.

But if you decide to sell don't forget I've got first dibs on that Technics DAC!
