I am very much over trying to move and photograph heavy things to sell. Especially because there is not much room to move them in. But I’ve been having a good run on Marketplace and hopefully these will all be cleared out and I can stop tripping over them. buying that antique post drill press seemed a much better idea when I didn’t realise how big and heavy it was! Getting it to the front door if I manage to sell it is going to be quite a workout.
I’m not sure if you already know about these or if they would be useful but there’s something you can slide under heavy things to help move them. Furniture lift tool thingy.

They are good. I’m pretty sure I used to have some, and am now wondering where they went. Unfortunately they wouldn’t help in this case though - it’s all stuff like old tools, including a really heavy old drill press that is designed to be mounted on a post - my guess it is around 40-50kg, with handles and things sticking out everywhere to make it even more awkward. The rest is at least only heavy because there are so many things - including a rediculous number of hand saws. I’m not even sure where they have all come from, but begin to suspect that someone has been sneaking into my shed to add extra struff! It’s amazing what 20 years of living in the same spot can see you accumulate.
Oh damn, yeah. Maybe the people buying need to bring a burly mate and a wheeled dolly
