I like to look at local estate auctions on hibid, the worse the pictures look the better. Although I get kind of depressed seeing all of the junk people have accumulated over the years and left for their kids to deal with. I find the best stuff the auctioneer doesn't even give a decent description.
Estate sales always depress me. Worn out carpet, and decor stuck in a much earlier era. Lots of VCRs and DVD players. China sets no one wants. Endless nick nacks and bric-a-brac. Family photos in frames, and the air of “someone has recently died or moved to an old folks home.”
Unsold china sets that no one was ever allowed to touch because they were expensive. Might as well have let them be used and broken and rare.
So true.
