[quote=Anonymous]Having now attended to clearing out my late grandparents’ and parents’ home, there really isn’t much of value - even the things they or you might expect.

Armoires? Worthless. Some thrift stores have stopped accepting these. Pottery Barn furniture? Same - especially the once popular oversized pieces.

My mom wanted to sell her 1960s semi rare china set through Replacements Ltd, so I reached out for a price list. They weren’t buying very much and certainly wouldn’t pay the amount that would even be a ROI considering it has to be expertly packaged and mailed. I recall something like $75 for a large serving plate and a whopping $20/dinner plate.

My MIL spent about one year shopping her late sister’s vast collection of early 2000s Coach and Dooney & Bourke bags at local consignment stores- most wouldn’t accept. She cleared about $100 and several she had to go back to collect because they were unsold. She gave me and DD about 7 - we eventually donated as they were oversized and dated. [/quote]
