Redtom, My folks moved to assisted living exactly a year ago. I have 3 siblings. We took what we wanted as mom and dad wished. My older brother and I really didn't want anything but I salvaged all the old and new photographs that I could find and I'm so glad I did. All the grandkids got a few items. We had two auctioneeers come in and they both said there really wasn't much there of any value. So I took it upon my self to clean up the stuff. I sold a few pieces of furniture outright. I took a small trailer load of items to a monthly consignment auction. It totaled $74 in sales and my parents ended up with $26 after we paid the consignment fee and auctioneer comission. I bought the refrigerator and I'm going to buy the stove. We're in no hurry to really clean it out because no one will ever be living there again. The area is being developed so the property is worth way more than the 144 yr old house ever will be. It needs a lot of work and we decided not to fix any of it, such as the foundation, both chimneys, kitchen, bathrooms, plumbing.
My wife and her sister cleaned out their mom's house last year then rented the American Legion Hall and had 3 day inside yard sale for the MIL"s belongings. They made over $600 and I was surprised. Again we could take anything we wanted and so could the grandkids. Her furniture was hand-me-downs but she had some nice dishes and other new items she never used. All the appliances stayed in the house and it is to be sold with the farm hopefully this year. Her house is newer than my folks like a 100 yrs newer...LOL.
