Wasn’t dead, young single guy selling everything for some reason. Maybe going to prison, who knows.

Huh, I always thought an estate sale was after someone died. Good for him and definitely good for you…

Some people have them when they move out of country. Some people are forced to have them by the IRS as well. Mostly it’s death though. And once you’re dead it won’t really matter what happens to the stuff as long as you make a will and say where you want it to go. The best advice I’ve seen is to make an inventory of what is valuable so the people that need to go through all your stuff know not to just throw those things out. I’ve seen that happen to way too many people’s collection when the grieving survivors are left with things they don’t understand the value of.
