Cleaning out my mom's house. I hate to trash things that may be useful to someone else and some of it's probably worth some $$. I've used Facebook marketplace a couple of times. I've heard of OfferUp and LetGo but haven't used them. Where will i get the best response and $? Should i just pile it all up and do an online estate sale instead? TIA. Also, if anyone has done this and has any general tips, please share.

Depending on where you are there are estate buying/selling services or companies.

I have no personal experience with this, but I’ve seen a few in the past. It may help ease the burden.

I've seen those and bought a chair from an old neighbors' online estate sale. The fact that they photo, price, and post and then you only have to deal with people on one pickup day seemed appealing. No idea how much they take. I guess i should call them... It's daunting. Ready to be done but also anxious about being done.
