My only experience with this type of thing was with my mom. She was was absolutely not a hoarder in any way, but as she got older the house, the yard and two outbuildings, and all they contained became more and more of a burden to her and caused her a lot of anxiety. I think the stress of it all caused her to lose attachment to most of it. When she went into assisted living, it was like 10 years fell off her. She had everything she needed, was able to take a few pieces of furniture and artwork to make her room feel like home and was happier than we had seen her in years. She told us to take what we wanted and donate everything that was left. So...it's not always sad. I know that having the burden of house and property taken off her shoulders added years to my mother's life.

The weaving loom will get you a few hundred $'s, especially if all the extras come with it. Look for the wooden bench that goes with it as that will add a lot of value. I also noticed what looked like a warping mill in the garage. To maximize your profits, maybe a member of a local weavers guild can come in and help you identify all the weaving bits you may find throughout the house.
@justmeiniowa3 ай бұрын
Alex never does anything to "maximize" his profits. He donates or tosses perfectly sellable stuff and takes every thing to Kaster auction house where a large majority of the items don't go for near what he could get for them with a little effort. i understand his fast nickle over a slow dime philosophy but still.

A lot of more modern furniture and other stuff never sells for much and/or it sits for a long time before it sells. It's not worth hanging onto things like that. It's better to give it to someone that could use it and get it out of your way. I don't know if he does this but sometimes when you donate stuff you can use that as a tax write off up to so much.
