Back in the '70's I had a boss that used to read the daily obituaries and contact the families immediately. I thought that he was a ghoul for doing that. His angle was to take advantage of people's emotions, hoping that they would want to get rid of stuff so that every time that they saw something that belonged to the dearly departed, it wouldn't make them cry. He said that it worked out in his favor often. My thought was, how do you read the obituaries, contact a family that you don't know and don't know you, and then talk them out of...whatever. Most of the stuff he said he sold off. Gold and silver went to the gold and silver guy, and the clocks he kept for himself because he collected clocks. One time he had another kid and myself take something to his house, his wife let us in, and I swear that virtually every inch of every wall was covered by a clock, clocks that he talked the families of still warm dead people out of. They gave him the stuff and he sold it all. Haven't seen the guy since the '70's and for all I know, he's dead and gone now, and if he is maybe someone read his obituary and returned the favor.
