[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it, it's comforting to know an item found a good home. But if you can let-go of this thinking, this need to know, the process is so much easier. Donate. Have some trust in the universe, that the item will be found by someone who needs it. Someone who wants it. Donate freely without knowing. Let go of the mindset that you should be getting what-it's-worth. Not every decision needs to be maximized. It's charity. It's a charitable act.

DP I want to have this mindset but it is very hard to overcome the thoughts about how much money I might potentially be giving away.

But you aren't giving it away. It's not worth anything, or auction houses would want to sell it.

We hired an estate sale company to deal with a relative's house, and they picked the easiest, most obvious saleable items, then left. As we dug though what remained, we can upon a box labeled "Silver" that, indeed, had family silver in it. The estate sale people had looked for silver in the sideboard, but anything that was going to take a little time to find was, statistically, not worth it to them.

By all means, did through stuff to find treasures. The odds that you'll find anything are very, very slim. Financially, it makes more sense to get the house emptied so you can put it on the market as quickly as possible.  [/quote]
