I went through this 12 years ago when my Mother died. She was living in the 4 bedroom house my parents bought in 1954. They had also taken over some of my Grandparents furniture & possessions when they died in the 1960's. So the house was full.
as an only child I was left with the "task" of clearing and disposing of a LOT of nice stuff. I knew it all having grown up surrounded by it - some very hard decissions on what to keep myself and what to sell.
A local auctioneer was recomended who came and took away van load, gave me a receipt and said he would send me a cheque for the amount sold less commission. When the cheque arrived 2 months later, I was mortified at the low prices the stuff sold for and the huge price he charged for the haulage to his auction room!!!
A few months later in an antiques centre I saw some of my Mothers things on sale at very high prices. Asked the person in charge if the seller would take an offer - he phoned the seller who came a few minutes later. He was the auctioneer who'd sold it. The SWINE had knocked the items down to himself at rock bottom prices to sell privately!!!
Chose your auctioneer with care!
Its a very hard decission for you to decide what to sell and what to keep. Don't rush into decissions you will regret later on. I kept some nice valuable pieces and some low value pieces which had happy memories for me when I was growing up.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
