Don't do this to your children
Well, I tend to have collected things myself, I have quite a few Electric guitars, and firearms, I seem to have two of everything I like LOL! I even had two Mopars at one time,but.... anyway there are auctioneers who will clean the place out and auction off the good stuff, also there are antique markets where you can take the other thihgs, i did see a couple of cool lamps and the blue glass items.that stuff would sell at an antique shop, I dont know for how much though. That is a lifetime of collecting things, and maybe she came from a time where you didnt throw away good stuff...but it may be psychological, people ask me why I have two of everything and I really dont know..I have two Harley davidsons, 2 classic cars,( my Mopar and a fox body mustang...) I figure I am fortunate I guess...
