My mother passed away last week. Being the executrix of her estate, I'm in charge of liquidating her things like jewelry and other antiques. First, what is the best way to go about selling items - lawn sale, antique dealer, auction? Secondly, I want to make sure I get a fair market value for the stuff. I could hire an appraiser, but they don't work for nothing and would probably charge more that the stuff was worth. Antique dealers only give about 10% of the value. A lot of the furniture isn't in very good condition. I looked on the Internet, but its difficult to find the EXACT same things. Need some serious advice here. Thanks.

I'm sorry about your loss ,but all those things did not belong to you they where your mothers and it is her loss . if you get anything at all you should be happy , as far as value is conserned go to ebay and price what is out there . don't worrie about what you get take what is offered and don't loss sleep over it .some do good others not so well .

If the stuff isnt worth anything then have all your siblings come in and take what is sentimental to them. and when there is nothing left that anyone wants just take it to the salvation army. or charity of your choice. if they dont want it, then get a dumpster.dont look to make money from your mothers death.
