Cheaper for who?

Who was going to pay the moving cost? They want the stuff back later
or giving it to you permanently? If they don't want the stuff back
later, undoubtedly it is cheaper for them to sell what they can & junk
the rest, than to pay to ship it somewhere, or even give it all to
someone (because then they don't get the money for what could be
sold).

It's not any cheaper for you unless you assume as your base line that
you were going to buy all that stuff anyway (which it doesn't sound
like you were). When you ask "cheaper" you need to state what it is
you are comparing to, "cheaper" is a comparative term.
