Selling my stuff

Here is one idea for you to consider.......auction. Have an all automotive parts auction. You will get better than scrap price but less than maximum price. And those attending will have to haul it off for you as you just watch.
Truth be known, that is probably what is going to happen to it all if you still have the stuff after you die.
 
You can use the "Swap Meet" on this website to list parts you want to sell and also look in the parts wanted subsection of the swap meet to see what people are begging for. You might be surprised at the responses you get
 
X 2 on the auction idea. The auction company will take pics, run the advertising, handle the sale purchases, and hand you a check when it's done. Although your stuff might have to be moved to one suitable location for the sale, that might be your house if space for people exists, or it may be at the auction house. One final day (or weekend if you have that much stuff) and its all done. Most anything brings more than scrap prices and you'd be amazed at how much other items might bring. And these things are fun, with everyone sharing their stories.
 
Find a professional salesman, let them do a proper inventory and agree to pricing. Then stand back, observe and look after your interests.
 
Iola, Wisconsin has an excellent swap meeting in July every year. This is approximately 2 hours from Sheboygan, WI. This would be a good way to move a lot of parts. You appear to be very knowledgeable and would have a blast talking to other Fordbarn folks and collectors/restorers in general.

Load up a flat bed trailer and sell it right of the bed. Small items can be scattered around on tarps. Make is easy and enjoy what you have accumulated over the years.

Good luck...........I would love to meet you.
