My family moved my grandam out. So much glassware that they thought was going to be worth gold since its "local made back when this town meant something an had an industry and hard working people". Probably had a dozen different sets. I don't have the heart to tell her no one wants sets of old ass cups made in hick-town USA even if they are nice. Only took a few for memories.

Not to mention all my dads old toys they held onto thinking some one was going to make bank selling them. Just a trash heap unless you got someone who wants to make it there life's work selling smelly toys on ebay. The top we priced out was worth $60 minus the dry-rotting in a basement for 60ish years.

Hell, I got glassware from the house I moved into they just left behind and I can't get rid of it. May just leave it for the next sucker.

My aunt was losing her shit, that all stuff dropped in price from when she collected it in the nineties...

Tastes change.

I have to know, what sort of toys are you talking about? That your dad had?

Old beat up matchbox cars that barely survived his childhood, and these army action figures in space capsules(can't remember the specific brand, think it was big in the 80s GI Joe?). Looked them up and in great condition could get $100 but these were ok at best. Most of the toys just went to my sisters kids if they were interested, not sure whats still around.
