I don't really have an interesting horror story to share...but I DO feel your pain! I just moved last year...and I had fifty-some odd longboxes of comics in addition to my trades and "real" books! It was the tipping point that finally got me over the edge to selling my comics. NEVER AGAIN will I move 17,000+ comics!

Thing is, I've been selling on eBay for just under an year now....and have yet to make a sizable reduction. I've only liqiudated just over 2,000 comics. Photographing (don't have a scanner) and writing descriptions of the things is tedious. But the extra money is certainly nice....
