<p>[QUOTE="plaid423, post: 305001, member: 2664"]we had a rental here in Atlanta and the tenant died. we contacted the family who wanted nothing to do with his things, even though most of it was his mom and Dad's. his Mom was a local artist who traded art and bought art throughout her life and to the remaining family looked at it as worthless crap, despite our urging them to please come and get it, refused. They even sent us a letter from a lawyer releasing all of the things to us so we could clear out the house. Anyway, once we started going through things, we found amazing pieces from artists like Edward Moulthrop, a wood turner from GA who in the beginning of his career sold pieces for a few hundred if that, and now his pieces are worth thousands. My point is, you just don't know what you have and please take the time to really find out. I know the stress of having a time frame can make things overwhelming, but the pictures you posted show very beautiful and well crafted pieces, ones that I would not let go for 1200 to an estate liquidator. I get the feeling that your gut is telling you that these items are valuable. It would be a shame if they went to a liquidator and you later realized they were worth many times over what you got for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
