Today we took the 3d tv, 3d dvd player, a bag full of 3d glasses, and a bag of 3d DVDs to the auction house, along with the older big iMac. We already took all the Tiffany lamps, two bedside tables, a lamp dad made, and a few other odds and ends that might be worth something. Last week we gave them dad’s guitar, mom’s ukulele, and electric keyboard, a set of china, and all those taxidermied ducks. /1
When we were selling our house to relocate to NM we had an auctioneer come to the house and look at some of the things we wanted to get rid of. He cut us a check on the spot and the next day he showed up with some helpers and packed all that up and took it away. We were lucky to have a couple of nice pieces of furniture and Japanese prints [I regret selling those now] he wanted to lure him to the house in person.
Next week we take them the two big sets of good china, some furniture, and the big tv from the living room if possible. Basically, anything we can move ourselves. /2
