<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 11651561, member: 649&quot;]So sorry for your loss(es)!</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how you&#039;d make sure your items go to &quot;the right person&quot; other than selling bit by bit locally on a platform such as FB Marketplace or Craigslist where you could meet, and therefore pick and chose, your buyers... thought you&#039;re likely to put potential buyers off if you ask questions about their motives. And keep in mind that selling locally like that usually brings lower prices.</p><p>Don&#039;t discount using reputable auction houses, the buyers are often knowledgeable and appreciative collectors. If I were in your shoes, that is likely how I would proceed. Larger local auction houses that specialize in antiques usually offer a home service... they will visit and look over everything and let you know what, if anything, they&#039;d be interested in handling for you. Some may transport your items to their saleroom, others may expect you to handle that.</p><p>Another option is engaging a local estate/tag sale company. If you don&#039;t want loads of potential buyers traipsing through your home for days, looking at the items for sale, some estate/tag sale companies have warehouses and are willing to transport your items to their site for the sale days. They, like the auction houses, will visit you and look over the stuff. They will then make an offer concerning their commission rate based on what they anticipate your stuff is worth, and how much of the grunt work you want them to do.
