[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

It isn't trash. My FIL was very senior in the State DEpartmnet and spent a lot of time in Persia. There are dozens of rugs worth thousands each, countless woerks of art that could be worth $50 or $50,000.  There are the usual boxes of magazines and records comingled with a century of family photos. My MIL has pre war Japanese china and a few crockery pieces that supposedly came from England in the 17th century. It isn't junk and it takes time t properly pack and store. DH  doesn't want to part with it and wnats to keep it in the family.

Sorry, they aren't like your inlaws living in trailers on cat food.[/quote]

If no one wants it then guess what? IT IS TRASH. Sounds like you just want to make excuses. [/quote]

+2 I’m sorry but you have to be realistic. It’s hard to sell this stuff nowadays. Younger people don’t live in big houses with room for expensive antiques. Get them moved into their new condo with the stuff they need, and then get to selling and/or trashing the rest. Yes, you’ll have to hire an estate sale company. [/quote]
