how do I find someone to purchase the contents of our storage unit in lake tahoe? My mothet has two storage units in South Lake Tahoe.

We figured it would be easier to just sell both to whomever purchases these contents from storage places of people who don't pay their rent. Help

How can I get some one to pack and move the contents of my storage unit out of state? How much will it cost? Currently I have a 9' x 9' unit at a Public Storage facility in St. Louis, MO. I left all my stuff there when I moved to CT, thinking I would move back. Now it turns out I won't, and I need to get my stuff up here. Selling it all is pretty much out of the question, a lot of it is sentimental stuff and a lot of it is stuff that if I sold and re-bought I would probably have to pay 3x what i paid to start with. It is mostly small boxes; books, clothes, dvds. A couple bookshelves, a futon, a 27 inch TV, microwave, bike, etc. Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to pay someone to pack and move my stuff across the country? Or who I would pay to do it? I guess I would have to mail them the key and code to the place, but otherwise I wouldn't really take part in the process. I wouldn't mind if my stuff was travelling in a truck with someone else's stuff, and I don't mind waiting to get my stuff. I appreciate any comments, I'm totally lost on what to do with this one
