<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 4406634, member: 36&quot;]I&#039;ve seen both, or a mix.&nbsp; Items the estate sale runner knows to be worth money will be priced.&nbsp; Other stuff... you never know.&nbsp; The &quot;make a pile&quot; thing is common - with discounts for quantity.&nbsp; Some companies don&#039;t price anything.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I don&#039;t recommend is what one company tried years ago, although it did get the house cleared out.&nbsp; They had a regular sale on the first two days, but on the last day everything was free.&nbsp; They pulled the jewelry and anything really valuable and let the crowd take the rest.&nbsp; It did get a little wooly for a while, but the house got cleaned out fairly well for no cost to anyone.&nbsp; I went the first and last day.&nbsp; Bought some nice stuff on the first day, and got my items to craft with on the last one.&nbsp; Handed a kid who did fleas a vintage paella pan.&nbsp; He had no clue what it was and apparently no one else had either.(!)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for companies who throw out anything they don&#039;t think is worthy .... grrrr.&nbsp; There are collectors for all sorts of odds and ends, and if it&#039;s in good shape there&#039;s an audience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
