I suspect that one could call up a moving company and ask them what the  
weight of the contents of a trailer or box is.

They may even have some "average" numbers for the possessions of various  
family sizes.

One would of course have to subtract the weight of the cardboard boxes,  
newspaper wrap etc.
but I suspect that moving companies would also have a pretty good idea of  
how many boxes would be required for the various family sizes.
