The sad fact is that a lot of us depend on the ignorance, apathy or lack of knowledge of people when disposing of belongings for extra money or even our livelihood. I've even run into some people who just didn't care and were glad to have someone buy their "junk".</p><p> I went to one sale very early in the day and when I saw what was there I suggested he cancel the sale and put it in the hands of someone who handled estates to maximize what he got and that there was a lot of valuable things there to which I was told that <u>he didn't care and just wanted the stuff gone</u>. I made a large pile of stuff and asked what he wanted and he said 20 bucks. That pile was worth over 7 grand in the end!
