I don't think it's wrong at all. Better than a bunch of junk that you inherited but have no interest in sitting around gathering dust. Just thinking about my very old step-mother and very old father-in-law and all of the shit they've accumulated and how I'm going to have to deal with it after they die...
For example, my step-mother was a grade-school teacher and has a collection of old (some very old) children's books. I have no interest in them - some are even quite racist. But hopefully someone else will find value in them.
- kubb 1y agoYeah, but you'd sell it on a yard sale for cheap or something like that.
- blitzar 1y agoIf they were people of note the yard sale would be held at Christie's not in the street in-front of the house. If the collection of books is of note likewise.
- pfannkuchen 1y agoNo the point is that a yard sale would accomplish the goal of getting rid of the stuff without maximizing profit. The only reason to hold it at Christie’s is to maximize profit.
