Im working for a friend who flips houses. Recently she bought a home that was FILLED TO THE BRIM with so much stuff. The house was built in the 40s, the couple that owned it did a lot of traveling in the 50s. Every time they travelled somewhere it’s seems they’d buy everything you could imagine, from all over the world. Anyways, after the couple died the daughter lived there up until recently when she also passed away. The house wasn’t in great condition, It looked like something you’d see off of the tv show Hoarders, honestly pretty gross. Lots of trash, but also lots of treasures? We’ve been going through everything and have finally sifted through it enough that we need to get all of the valuables OUT. The problem is, there’s is just sooo much stuff. Ive began posting items on FB Marketplace, however only the big furniture pieces. 90% of everything left over is various vintage knickknacks and collectables from almost every country you can think of. Some of it seems quite valuable and expensive but I honestly don’t know what would be the best course of action to sell it all. The main goal is to get everything out of the house so renovations can continue but we don’t really have anywhere to put it. I’ve been put in charge of sorting everything and getting rid of it (because if I don’t they’re going to throw it all away) I was originally thinking the auction house? But my friend seems to disagree because she’s mainly in it for the money and doesn’t believe the auction will guarantee a large sum. I cannot post everything on FB, it’s just too much, and honestly some of the stuff I doubt people will even be interested. It’s become very overwhelming and the pressure has been put on me to get everything out ASAP as well as earning as much money as I can from it. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do with a crap ton of folk art, ceramic, porcelain, paintings, lamps, dolls, vintage electronics (just a bunch of cool weird stuff from around the world during the 50s-80s) ? I’m debating renting a booth in one of my local thrift stores but they are quite pricey for such a small space that I don’t think will even fit everything. Everything is interesting and valuable to some degree so I’d rather not just throw it out or donate it, I also I’m not earning enough $$ to pay for someone to sell it for me. Recommendations ? Anything and everything is appreciated   submitted by   /u/marijuano777   to   r/Advice [link]   [comments]
