Bob Addison inherited his uncle's house over two years ago, and after a slow market finally produced a buyer, he's now racing to clear out decades of furniture, antiques, and family belongings before the deadline hits.

Shane walks through what happens when an auction house comes to pick things up directly from a home, and shares his own experience watching items sell for wildly different amounts than expected. Some pieces, especially teak furniture, turn out to be worth far more than anyone assumes.

Along the way, Bob and Shane land on one piece of advice for anything too sentimental to sell: what to do before letting it go, so the memory survives even if the object doesn't.

Topics: estate sale, auction house, vintage furniture, teak furniture, downsizing
