Sometime later this year we will be selling our house and moving out of
state. The other day I went through all the manuals and receipts for
appliances and maintenance done to the house and set them aside for the
next owner. I also placed in a box all the specialty tools and spare
parts for the plumbing fixtures in the house. Is there any reason not
to do this?

What suggestions do you have in preparation for selling. We will use
an agent so their input will come first, but just checking the
experience of others.

I also wanted an on topic discussion...

My wife and I move every 5-ish years

Why do you move so often ?

"Using 2007 ACS data, it is estimated that a person in the United States
can expect to move 11.7 times in their lifetime based upon the current
age structure and average rates and allowing for no more than one move
per single year."
I've had six in my life, three after I married. That 11.7 is scary,
does the .7 mean you live under a bridge?

I'll put up my hand here. One year I spent the summer basically living
out of my car. Crashing at friends' places and occasionally sleeping
back home at my mother's house.

It didn't add up to 0.7, though. Slightly less than 0.5.
