You having a rummage sale? lol. I knew a guy who use to do that all the time. He'd go around different places and buy stuff then come home and sell them in his yard. He was the stingiest person one could ever know....he'd offer a person a mint and if they tried to take more than one out of his can he'd slap the lid shut on their fingers. You know he probably had one of the largest collections of unwrapped Elvis records of anyone I'd ever encountered....those records were probably worth a small fortune, he never did anything with them or anything else of value he collected over his life...when he died it was all still right where he left it. He loved to brag about his collection but he died a poor man.
That's a sad story. I'll probably try and sell them at a flea market.
Yeah, it sort of is, I'll admit I miss seeing him everywhere on his bike, had two baskets on each side so he could haul his goods around. He died of Alzheimer's. This is a story I did on his house on here, his records weren't the only gems he left behind.

Its interesting how collectors don't want to let go of what they have. Unless they have someone to give it all to when they go then its likely allot of their stuff doesn't get cared for and left to rot or stolen. Other times it all gets sold by relatives regardless. Perhaps the enjoyment of viewing the material goods brings more happiness to the person then the funds they were worth.
I like to surround me with beautiful quality stuff. I see my surroundings as an extention of myself.
I do need to improve my surroundings but I also want to get rid of some clutter.
Yeah he loved to brag about his collection, it more than likely make him feel good that he had something most people would relish having.
