Estate sales take a huge profit, just like eBay does. The problem with estate sales is exactly what people are stating here: you put on a realistic price for what a piece of furniture is worth, say 1/3rd of what it cost you, then the estate sales people take a big chunk out of that small sale price. Same goes for sites like eBay using PayPal.
Put all your stuff online like on this website, Facebook marketplace, and you might be surprised how many people might be interested in it

all depends upon the individual situation, location, age, condition, buyer and seller. Could be a parent's house. . . could be sold, don't know specifics,
I don't know where the poster's house junk is located and the house is worth. ..
that's why a lot of relative percentages if you look at my figures. . . . and the relative pricing of the house. . .
Likewise, i would also have a price for completely take away so that if the buyer doesn't want the junk, then no negotiations needed. .
optionality is your friend
