Imagine an older relative has passed away, and you are in charge of clearing out their estate and preparing the house to be sold. There are rooms and rooms full of countless items. Feeling overwhelmed? We know the feeling. It can be tempting to call a junk hauling company to take everything so that you can quickly move on and get the process going. But please, don’t do that!

This will increase the interest in and value of your offer. Buyers will sometimes pay a premium on pieces that can be traced to origin with original paperwork.
Your older relative’s estate is probably a treasure trove of silver pieces that may not hold much sentimental value to you but are definitely worth cash. The same goes for old and unpolished pieces of silver that you are tired of performing regular maintenance on. The condition of your silver doesn’t necessarily matter, but its weight will!
