Now THAT is a useful benchmark, Bear!
I just helped a friend go through her MIL's crafting closet. I spent two hours sorting and assigning stuff ("Goodwill", "local craft guild", "elementary school art teacher", "for me" and "trash"), and that was only the stuff I felt somewhat qualified to judge - didn't touch the scrapbooking stuff, or the doll making stuff. There is no way my friend's MIL could possibly have known what she had where - it was all neatly put away, but there were layers behind layers, and many things duplicated...THAT is too much!
