Hi Eric
When we were moving back to Ireland, the shipping company were quite clear, no liquids, no chemistry, nothing with batteries, no pressurized containers.  Sending goods uninsured made a very big difference in shipping price, if you are prepared to take the risk.
Self pack, or finding a company who reuse the packing containers can also make a big difference. The realy valuable stuff we took as excess luggage, this could be things like camera lenses etc.
All the best

Ps.
You might want to give these people a call, I got the names from a website for Thai students in the US who wish to move stuff back home
They are Thai companies, with offices in the Chicago area.

These are items that are not up for sale yet, but will be in the next few months.  Given the cost and logistics of moving them, I figure it's better to start posting now in case anyone who is interested can communicate that to me & start planning on how they will get the item.  I truly do not want to ship any of this.  These are located in Chicago.  These will also be posted to Craigslist and the large format forum, etc once I get to a point where I can close up shop & sell them, but if anyone seriously wants any of this and puts some money down on them, they will be held for them.  The official sale should be starting in March or April.

I will be selling:

Omega D2V XL w/aristo cold light and condensers. 
Omega D5 XL w/aristo cold light
DeVere 5108 table top 8x10 Enlarger w/240 Rodagon and various lens boards and film carrier masks.

The densitometer and 11x14 deep tanks previously mentioned here sold in a couple hours once they were posted on the large format forum yesterday.   The C22 Mamiya and Hasselblad ext. tubes are still available and are posted there.

Also I am selling lots of misc. Jobo stuff on ebay.

We got a preliminary estimate on our move to Bangkok for $8100 using a 20ft shipping container.  Add a couple tickets to get there and whatever other misc moving costs we'll incur and one can see that ain't gonna happen.  So a lot of what I have will be either stored here or sold as the potential to earn THB there with this analog gear is slim to none doesn't warrant the cost of shipping it.

There will be a lot of other items that will be going up for sale in the near future such as 4 ft. light boxes, and possibly some cameras as that is an internal debate I'm having with myself daily.  Do I keep my 8x10 and do contact printing processes?  Will I be able to find/afford the film for it?  Do I ship my chemistry?  Keep my 4x5?  Blad?  Flatfiles? etc etc etc......
More to follow.
