[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]

Oriental rugs aren't worth what they were when the Boomers were buying them.  My family found a rug dealer in a Midwest city in the early 2010s to take a very fine 1960s wool rug once insured for $14K for maybe $400.  I swear I saw it on Ebay listed by an NYC dealer for about $3K two years later.  We needed it gone and didn't want to put it in the trash.
