I've got's loads of stuff from the parents, grandparents even great grandparents.
You know, ornaments, furniture, painting etc. Just lots of it and it's overwhelming.
Other than spending a lifetime on Ebay selling, photograph it, describing it, posting it.
What would be good way to move it on.
Just fed up with it all. Especially when know it has value and still cant be bothered.
🙁
Local 'junk shop' - they'll make you an offer for the lot.
If you think there's specific items with value then negotiate them separately.
Or donate the lot to charity and benefit from a warm feeling inside.
Charity might the ticket.
Dump the lot on charity shops if the value isn't a concern.
Be mindful that once it's gone it's gone, so have a think if there are any bits that you'd like to keep around for sentimental reasons.
Depends.
If you want rid & don't care about the value......take it to the charity shop, put it on freecycle, do a car boot, call a house clearance type outfit & see if they are interested?
If there are things in there of value, it seems a shame that you can't make a bit of cash out of it. Could you not separate it out into 'worth something' and 'junk'? You could then get the 'worth something' stuff put into an auction, or sell it as a job lot to an antique dealer?? And take the junk stuff to a charity shop.

Contact a couple of local auctioneers; give them an indication of what you've got & ask if they would call round for a look and give you some 'indicative' values as you are looking to dispose of the lot. Would they be interested in putting any of it into their next suitable auction.
Anything they're not interested in - charity, free cycle etc.
Welcome to my life for the next decade. One house-full dealt with a couple of years ago, about 5 more to go 🙁
There'll probably be an auctioneer who does house clearance stuff. Basically they can take the lot, though they will change a disposal fee for anything that doesn't sell, so big worthless stuff (beds!) are best dealt with yourself if you can (be bothered). You may be pleased with how much you get for anything that is basically nice quality but not useful to you.
Car boot sale can be fun too, depending what opportunities there are.
Sorting and classifying would be a good place to start:
Bin
Charity shop
Investigate/Sell
Keep
Set yourself a limit with the keep pile, 5 or 10 things, whatever - put them all in one place and, if you've got 20 there, have another think about which bits give you pleasure in themselves rather than only through the family connection.
You won't get it all right in terms of value, you might chuck some stuff they might have cared about, but they wouldn't want you to feel overwhelmed and unhappy with it all. and there's plenty of it that they'd have chucked themselves if a bit more time had passed and they'd needed to be a little more ruthless. You'll have put some thought into it which will make you feel better about the whole thing, and you'll have decluttered which will make you feel much better.
In my experience, it can feel worse having stuff in boxes that you're not using, not looking at, resenting for the space taken up and the emotional drain, than thinking maybe you've chucked something someone once liked.
You're worried that by getting rid, you wouldn't be appreciating something that was once appreciated. But you're doing that already if it's making you feel worse just by being there.
Move house and leave it all in the loft, person I bought my house from did that. Worked a treat apparently. 😡
