For my mother in law used company that came in cleaned out house and offered a sum based on their costs minus price for items they felt they could resell. So, let’s say they charged $1000 ( it was more but just as an example) to clean out house but felt all items including mid century chairs would go for 5000, we got paid 4k. They made a list of things that contributed to the value. So if we wanted to keep the chairs what we got would go down. The entire process took less than 2 weeks. We had to do almost nothing. They turned over all photos/ albums and all important papers. We ended up clearing little but loved the process and would do again in a heartbeat. No one but one sister in law was surprised that there was little vale there.
