If you have never done one before the last thing you want to do is open shop before you have an estate appraiser come in and do a walkthrough of the things that you are selling. First of all that piece of art that your parent loved may not be worth that much. What it may be worth is the love and the memory and the story and because of that you might not want to put it out there to be bought by someone for a small price when it’s priceless. That antique dresser that you always kind of thought was so so maybe be worth thousands. Also with ebay there are things people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy because they are collectors. You may think it’s junk an you’d be surprised the kind of bank people rake in on ebay and at estate sales in Los Angeles if they are done right.
