You've spent your whole life building a collection. It started when your parents bought you that first thing and put it under the tree. When you got a job passing newspapers, you saved up enough money to buy another...and then another. Your friends didn't understand your obsession, but you didn't care. Every time you went to the store, you searched for the one thing that stirred your passion.
You got married, had children, and continued the holiday tradition. When your kids were young, they shared your passion. They'd follow you to stores, flea markets, and auctions, getting as excited as you whenever you discovered that pearl of great price. But, thanks to Atari and their many successors, your children's imaginations followed another path, while yours continued along the road less travelled. When your kids showed you the ins and outs of eBay, you had to get a notebook to keep up with all of your purchases.
Then, one day, your son goes up to the attic to bring down the air conditioner. He brushes the dust off the box, looks around, and says, "What am I supposed to do with all of this stuff? The kids don't care about it anymore than I do. You know I'm just going to give it away."
What Will Happen to Your Stuff
You've probably seen a 1-800-Got-Junk truck parked beside a deceased person's house. You've gone to an upscale thrift store and found a prized item. So you have a good idea. Many families are too busy, uninformed, or overwhelmed to deal with all of the "clutter." Even if they do have the time, they don't always appreciate the value of your collection; nor will they invest the time to find out what it's worth, or who should sell it.
That's What eBay and e-Commerce Are For
Your family's "clutter" could be your cash. That's why having a Living Estate Sale makes sense. It preserves your legacy, one sale at a time.
Why not share your collection with someone who understands your passion? You could ease into the process by selling one of the items languishing in your attic. You could even sell one of the inferior pieces to get the cash to buy a better one. If you want to clean up some of your clutter, or if you want a little more cash, why not try it?
