PCS season: how to sell everything before leaving Germany

PCS orders in hand? Every summer thousands of US military families leave Ramstein, Kaiserslautern, Wiesbaden and Stuttgart — and suddenly everyone needs to sell a car, furniture and appliances at once. How to sell fast before your flight: 1. Start 6–8 weeks out. Post everything at once: cars, furniture, kids' stuff, electronics. 2. Sell the car first — it takes longest. US-spec cars sell to other Americans; German-spec cars sell to everyone. 3. Price to move: buyers know you are leaving, so underprice slightly instead of negotiating for weeks. 4. Use keywords like "PCS sale" in your title — other military families search for exactly that. 5. Post where locals look too, not only in base Facebook groups — Kapnula reaches German buyers who pay cash and pick up. 6. The last week: list remaining items as free (Verschenken). Free furniture disappears within a day — better than paying for junk removal. One more tip: 220V appliances do not work in the US — sell them all, do not ship them.
