When confronted with having to do something with a lot of stuff, the money value is less important then getting the job done. I had to deal with my great aunt's home after she passed away. I was overwhelmed as she kept everything she ever had. No way I was going to sort through all that stuff for weeks. After a few days I was ready to pay someone to come take it all. Her sisters, including my grandmother, thought it should be sorted and sold for what it was worth. I took her with me and after one day she said never mind just get it out of the house and told the other aunts to come do it themselves or keep quiet. LOL.
