wow that is a lot with the wedding.....we hired an estate sale company who we trusted......most take 1/3 of what the sales are and many think they get whatever is left at the end but do not accept that as they will overprice items they want and then when they do not sell they think they get them free.....nope rip off.....our people let us get rid of anything that did not sell....the first day of sale full prices....second day they took off I think 50% then the last hour or two of sale was bag sale where it was like $5 for whatever fit into the bag or something like that....when our people did that they had boxes that they counted as two bags and they were allowed to take anything left over at $10 per box....things they had priced a bit high that had not sold that they wanted.....anyway I felt they ripped off some stuff with their box idea.....it was only them that got the box for $10....I did not know how to put some dishes that they put into the box that I would have liked to have but they had the box where I just had a bag and thought they would not travel well in bag....oh well....I did not need the dishes but they were pretty and nice set...
I am sure she sold later off her website or out of a thrift store the stuff at more inflated prices...oh well....we did not make money because we had dumpsters and asbestos abatement that needed to be done.....but everything was pretty well gone and I gave a charity the rest so they could sell it or use it with the girls they help get off drugs and prostitution

Tender, I dealt with 5 years of moving my MIL from place to place as she was never happy. I will say that the last place she was in....if I could afford it....it was like club med.

Uh! I know my mom keeps making it sound like this is a trial, like she is going to try to go back home or something or hold on to it much longer than needed as she pays rent and a mortgage at the same time. I found a wonderful moving company, they will pick up donations for Good Will and give me a packing /moving fee. So I feel hopeful about getting the house cleaned out w/o me having to do 30 trips to the thrift shop or worrying about large items. I don’t care about making money off any of the stuff. I’m more focused on cleaning it out so I can hire cleaners and fix it to sell. Hope on the horizon. Mom slowly getting on board.

You can also have an indoor garage sale.....

Some charities will pick up here like the Diabetic Assoc.... I would google charities that will pick up in your area

Yes! I think Habitat for Humanity will do some pick up for us. I can use them for the small items and then pay the moving company to take large furniture items to Good Will or trash. The thrift shop wants things curb side and there is no way for us to carry stuff out so we’ll have to pay for that part.
