Ebay's the way. I got 200 inquiries, people begging to be first in line to send deposit. Sold the house for twice what I paid for it---in one week. Would do it again except I didn't enjoy answering 200 emails in a week. That was rugged.

I wish I'd have read your post two months ago.

E-bay? Really? That's amazing. I never would have thought of listing--or looking--there.

Good for you.

I wish I had used eBay to sell my parents excess possessions and antiques, etc., instead of using an "Estate" sales agent who charged too much commission and probably cheated me by "buying in" and later reselling the items.

Antique appraisals is another racket you have to be very careful with. Nobody knows the value of antiques more that the market that will actually plunk down the money for it. Antique dealers and auctioneer houses appraisals should be taken with a grain of salt. A lot of appraisals are simply made up depending on what side of the bed the appraiser got up on that morning.
