My parents are moving from their home into assisted living. They cannot hold a yard sale in their community. Does anyone know of organizations that will take items that they don't want and either hold an auction, put them in a flea market, or sale of some kind? Most items are not worthy of a true auction. I know we will pay a fee or percentage, but would like to recoup some of the items' value for things we don't want to just donate. I don't even know where to look on the Internet or phone book for organizations that do this. My parents live in Central Coast of California.

Check with local auction houses. They will take items from several places and hold one auction for it all.

i could list you 50 places in maine but can't help with CA. I do have 1 website I use for looking for auctions called auction.zip.com You could also put an ad on craigslist.com as that is nation wide. And free of charge. you can list some items seperate or llist an ad for an auction house. I bet you will get an answer to that.

Look in the yellow Pages, Under Consignment Stores. They will sell your things and charge a small fee.

if they are in good shape call an antique dealer or thrift store in the area and get them to come out and give you a quote.They will quote for all the stuff you have .Just be sure to tell them that they buy it all, and take it all.Good luck with it...

First, you need a permit to sell your items. Second, you need good stuff to sell. Third, you need a hole lot of people to buy your wonderful stuff.
Who knows, you just might see me there!

Or you can just ask a local church if you can have a yard sale in their parking lot when they aren't open.
