Just came in from the garage as we are moving early November to our home in TV. I have/had all my parents stuff too and we are choosing to take the dressers of 70 years that my parents had just because they have so many drawers for storage. I sold dishes which covered four benches- hand painted antqiue dishes for $100-the appraisal was not even close to this give away because no one wants them anymore. Stained glass tiffany style lighting, for a song. We have had multiple garage sales and we just priced stuff low and said good bye. Stuff does not matter, if you do not want it, let it go. Precious is in the eye of the beholder. Take what is precious and special to you and give it to others for gifts, special remebrances or charity. You will not remember it tomorrow if you did not pay attention to it today or for the last multiple decades.
