You can sell the items on ebay, which will still sell below retail, but you need to consider your time spent photographing, researching and writing the listing for each item - one at a time.

If it is more important to you to clear the items out and get some cash available to help your mom sooner rather than later, maybe an estate sale company is the way to go. Good luck to you and let us know how you do :)[/QUOTE]
