We just had my brother and sister in law come up and we all went through my parent's house and got the stuff we wanted. The rest was still a house full of stuff. We hired a professional estate sale guy. He said once we sign the contract 30% of everything in the house is his, unless it is paperwork or some personal item that is sentimental value only. He brought in tables and spent a week setting it up and organizing each item. He got he permits and ran ads in the right places.
He actually hired us as workers and we had some friends come help and they were paid for the work. He sold a ton of stuff that is amazing anyone wanted. 1/2 used boxes of laundry soap and junk. The washer and dryer were sold to the first couple in the door and they had been waiting for over 2 hours to be first in line.
In the end he had a full accounting and all the receipts. It was not that much money, but it all went to people that wanted it at a fair price. What was left went to Goodwill and they picked it up. Heck that entire episode is likely chronicled in the pages of this thread somewhere as it happened.
