I didn't know the person at all but I was just so upset seeing people literally tossing stuff out of drawers and just having no respect for the items or the other people at the sale. I drove home in hysterics. It took me a few more sales before I got over that feeling, but it was a day that launched me Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934980.post-69476824907212957632016-05-17T15:58:56.269-04:002016-05-17T15:58:56.269-04:00After my great aunt died a couple of years ago, we...After my great aunt died a couple of years ago, we (several family members and myself) spent nearly a year cleaning up her estate (she was a hoarder). She had a farm house, and many MANY barns full the the rafters. It was quite the undertaking. We then held an auction for her stuff. So many family members came to buy stuff (that didn't help clean up). I ended up with quite a few of her Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465862144480036138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934980.post-7250377239778706452016-05-17T15:53:09.425-04:002016-05-17T15:53:09.425-04:00We had estate sales at both my grandparent's h...We had estate sales at both my grandparent's homes. It was not creepy at all because we had taken away everything we wanted. My granny had put names on certain items so we would not fight over them :>)))<br /><br />The creepiest thing is when someone close to you asks if you would come and make an offer on an estate.

Last Fall a very dear friend of my family died unexpectedly - he was in a wheelchair - only 53 years old - his heart just stopped one night. This was my Dad's very best friend. He was at his house every single day running errands with him or for him, hanging out or playing poker. It was a shock for him to just be gone.

I once cleaned out an estate where the deceased had written notes on many items about where they came from and what was important to her.
