We had some old neighbors that passed recently. The family took out 6 or 7 full sized tow behind dumpsters, and still ended up having an estate sale. The place was still loaded with crap in every single room, out back, and the garage was packed. Which explained why the new Mercedes cars were parked in the driveway and not the garage.
When my dad passed away a few years ago, his basement was full of tools and miscellaneous crap. I knew sold individually the tools were probably worth at least $1,000. But that would have been a hassle and still left me needing to clean out the rest of the crap. So we advertised $100 takes everything, but you MUST take everything. Total time investment about an hour.
