We had one of our machinists pass away a couple of years ago. He was never married so his sister got all his stuff.....she only wanted to keep one of his vehicles (that was under construction) in the family. Since his family lived 1000+ miles away, they asked if we could help sell the stuff. I asked her if she wanted a fast sale OR top dollar at a slower pace. She said fast sale. Craigs List was the answer. Put realistic prices on everything, gave his friends first shot and sold everything.....even the junk. Usually, someone would come over to look at a big item and end up taking several items. His sister ended up with cash AND the real estate was cleaned out so it could be sold.
