Thought some of you might get a kick out of this. A _ **portion** _ of it is pictured. Also, quite a bit had been sold off over the last 20 or so years.
Fascinating journey through my life. There are things pictured I didn’t know I owned! A Nellie Fox autograph?! Who knew!
A read of the full description is… mind blowing to me.
I’ve been following estate sales for a long time. The most pictures I recall seeing was just over 290. Sue has 500 posted as of now.

I don’t get it, is this your stuff or happened to find someone with the same name?

So the estate sale was by the guy that his sudo name is from?

Yep, my estate. Most of the stuff was inherited. Audio gear and tools were mine.

So just a purge? I’ve never been to an estate sale that wasn’t because someone died.

A little of both. Most of it belonged to my mom who passed away a few years ago. I bought a condo so no more shop.

I’m going to an estate sale a few blocks away tomorrow. My daughter stopped by there on her way home from school today. She bought a few small fun nick-knacks. She said she looked out into the garage they had a lot of tools that look like mine.

These sales can be fun, and sometimes productive. Almost all the book cases I own are from them. Few tools, usually wouldn’t get there early enough. Hope you find something cool!
