I have a neighbor who I think is figuratively trapped in too big of a house because she has told me her kids don’t want her stuff (china, etc) and she knows it “wouldn’t bring what it’s worth” at auction. So she’s disabled and needs help but stays there with her stuff so somebody won’t get it for a song.
It WAS disappointing to see how little my parents’ stuff brought at auction, but where they lived that was the only good option to get rid of everything at once. There was very little I wanted to keep.
I got rid of what must've been thousands of dollars of HO and N scale electric trains and accessories for $80. I tried and tried and nobody was biting.
