Oh - that is just wrong!!! Thankfully the ones I've attended haven't been that bad, but I do always feel uncomfortable. I don't like the idea of having someone go through my stuff someday - I like to think that they are still around and doing well - and wanted this to downsize. Actually, I do know of someone in their 60's that is planning on having an estate sale so they can move into a condo that is already furnished. Although their stuff is far from what you'd see at an average estate sale - you'd know they weren't old enough to be in a nursing home..... although if I didn't know them I'd probably be feeling awful because I'd imagine that they were both killed in an accident or something....
