I just recently moved from Los Angeles to New York & was wondering would it better to ship items or start over

Question

So, as my question stated, I just recently moved (currently staying with a friend, intending to get my own place as soon as possible) and I was wondering which would be a better option. Ship my stuff from back home (not large furniture, but stuff you need in an apartment; ie: dishes, pots/pans, small appliances, etc) or should I just start over? I have loads of items in my uncle's garage and am not sure what to do about it. I am not sure which would be cheaper the cheaper option. Any suggestions, is extremely appreciated.

Answer 1

if you drive the stuff across the country it would be alot cheaper than sending it with a transfer/ moving company.  but why not start fresh in your new digs? have a garage sale for all your old stuff. cash in your pocket, and nothing to burden you. nyc has a wealth of cool/ interesting places to get your apt staples. how about hitting a restaurant supply place? good quality...for less.
