How do you know which things in your collections have lost value over the years, and which are worth keeping? It can be tough to tell!

Items that your parents (or you) paid a lot of money for back in the day are now worth much, much less than was paid for them.  An aging population has caused a heavily flooded market,  making "valuables" less so.  

As a Professional Organizer and Estate Clearing Specialist, I see a lot of these collectibles in homes.  Some are worth keeping, but unfortunately, most are not. 

Want to know what is worthless and how to tell the difference? Read On.

Loss in Value: Figurines and Commemorative Plates
​

 Many American households have some sort of collectible figurines or commemorative plates displayed or stored somewhere. While values for these items once were high, that isn’t the case any longer.  Figurines and commemorative plates were often mass-produced and released slowly as “limited editions”, giving the illusion of scarcity.
Well-known brands that have lost value:
(Note: the link goes to "sold" prices on Ebay)
  • Hummel and Goebel  (figurines + plates)
  • Lladros (figurines)
  • Precious Moments (figurines)
  • Franklin Mint (plates)
  • Norman Rockwell (plates)
  • Royal Doulton (plates and figurines)

​ Toys: not worth what you think

Although there is sentimental value to toys,  mass production and wear + tear often leads to lowered values.  In addition, a “craze” can inflate values for a period, but often decreases after the hype dies down.  For example, most Beanie Babies sell on Ebay for $5 or less, if they sell at all.
Once valuable, now not-so-much items:
  • Beanie Babies
  • Hot Wheels
  • Cabbage Patch Kids
  • Happy Meal toys
  • Barbies​

​China patterns, glassware, and silver plate items: Its a flooded market

A generation or two ago, newly married couples loved purchasing china patterns, crystal, and silverplate items.  Modern couples today are of the “Ikea generations”: they don’t want and don’t use this stuff.

So as the population ages, the market has become flooded with people trying to cash in on the value of these things. Don’t get your hopes up: there is very little value in most of the items in your parents’ china cabinet.
Common brands that have lost significant value:
  • Lenox
  • Spode
  • Wedgwood
  • Waterford
  • Reed and Barton ​

How to tell what is valuable anymore

Google is a good start to determine the value of an item, but don’t expect to sell your item for retail.  Once you've done some research, it’s easy to find comparable values on Ebay. But it is VERY important that you look at the completed sales there ( click on “show only sold items”: the sold prices are listed in green).  This shows what things actually sold for, not what they were listed for, which is usually retail price or higher.

Forbes. com gives this advice: "The most important advice we can give, and consequently the most difficult to digest, is to absolutely forget what the purchaser paid and to instead look at these possessions from the perspective of a third party — someone who knows nothing about your history or shares one shred of your taste. Once you remove the expectations of financial reimbursement and sentiment, it will be far easier to process the estate in an orderly and stress-free manner.”

​Is your stuff worth anything?

When reviewing your collections and family “heirlooms”, do your research before selling.  Because values have dropped for many collectibles over the years, you may be holding onto things that just aren’t worth it anymore.

Hoarder, pack-rat, or just messy: 3 Ways to tell the difference

Reality TV has popularized shows like “The Hoarder Next Door” and “Hoarders: Buried Alive” leading people to casually throw around the word “hoarder”.

“Hoarder” has become a pejorative to describe a home or situation consider cluttered or messy. Adult children often describe their aging parents as hoarders because of the amount of stuff in the house. 

But true hoarding a psychological disorder that  necessitates help and understanding.  

How can you tell if someone is a collector, a “pack-rat”, or truly a hoarder?  Here are 3 ways to tell if you need to seek professional help (like a Professional Organizer).

is your aging parent really a hoarder? read on to learn more....

​Collection vs. Compulsion

There are differences between collectors, pack-rats, and hoarders.

  • Hoarders have no organizing system and items take over all available spaces, causing health and safety concerns, as well as structural problems and issues with animals and pests. Based on the level of hoarding, a team of professionals (therapists, biohazard specialist, city services) may be needed to help.
  • A “pack-rat” compulsively acquires everyday items and “saves them for a rainy day”. Pack rats often become burdened by the amount of possessions, leading to guilt and shame.  Professional Organizers have the skill sets to help pack-rats.
  • A collector safely displays and maintains their collection. Although collections may become large, as long as there is a system in place, there is no cause for concern.

For example, an acquaintance has an aging parent who has collected obituaries from her hometown newspaper for years.  Is this behavior collecting, being a pack-rat, or hoarding?

If the years of  obituaries were pulled from the paper and in a large stack to be looked at “someday”, that would be considered being a pack-rat.  

If there were years of full newspapers stacked on the floor, blocking exits, or causing safety concerns, or full of pests, that is hoarding behavior.

But this woman carefully clips the obituaries from the newspaper, pastes them into scrapbooks, and has the scrapbooks organized by year. She enjoys sharing her knowledge of the family histories with others.  This makes her a collector.

Picture

​​Hoarding  and Dementia

If a loved one had pack-rat or hoarding tendencies throughout their life, those collecting behaviors can intensify as they age, especially if dementia is present. Many individuals with Alzheimer’s disease tend to experience an increased desire to collect things—even items that are used, broken, dirty or worthless.

“These actions often signify a desire for reassurance and security in the face of deep fears and anxiety experienced by many individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementia.

For example, an elderly woman with Alzheimer's Disease  may begin collecting tissues because they are soft and give her comfort. Her caregiver begins to find tissues stuffed in pockets, purses, furniture, closets and even the bathtub.

Another dementia patient may refuse to throw anything away, resulting in piles of garbage or junk spread throughout their house. Others will hold onto items because they fear their memories will be lost without tangible evidence of the past.

As dementia patients lose track of what is happening in the present, those items often become more and more important to them as a source of control and a misguided connection to reality.”

Sometimes you can't  do it on your own:

WHEN IT’S TIME TO THROW IN THE TOWEL AND HIRE AN ESTATE CLEARING PROFESSIONAL TO HELP YOU FINISH THE JOB.

There are 2 times when families are faced with trying to figure out how to clear out an entire homes’ worth of possessions, usually within a fairly quick time frame. ​
  • When a family member moves into senior care, leaving behind nearly 80% of possessions in the house that has been lived in for decades. The Power of Attorney (or similar authority) often  takes on the responsibility of getting the remaining home cleared out and ready for market.
  • After a family member passes away and the estate is ready to be cleared out.  The Executor then is charged with emptying the home.
If the Executor / Power of Attorney lives near the home in question, they can easily rally other family members to help with the massive project on nights, weekends, and holidays. This works for families who have the time, willingness, and physical strength to get the job done.

But sometimes that doesn’t work.  Sometimes, you can’t do it on your own.

That’s when you need to consider an Estate Clearing Professional to finish the job for you.

​

​Step One: Google “How to Sell xxx Online”

The first and easiest way to figure out how to sell your stuff online is to simply Google it.

You want to list your item on the site that has the biggest audience of potential buyers. For instance, if you were selling a set of golf clubs online, Ebay may be the best bet.  But if you were selling custom hand-embroidered tea towels, Etsy is where you want to be. Selling antiques and collectibles often is easier on sites dedicated to those items.

The Big Guys: Ebay and Amazon
​

It will come as no surprise that selling your stuff online on Ebay and Amazon are popular methods.

Both platforms have incredibly large audiences, thereby increasing your chances of selling your item quickly.  There are fees associated with using both services, so be sure you are aware of what you are agreeing to before listing your items.

Lesser Known: Ebid, Bonanza, Etsy, Collectors.com
​

As mentioned above, Etsy is a great site for selling handmade and craft items online. If you have beads, buttons, fabrics, and vintage items to sell, be sure to give Etsy a look.

Ebid is a site that is similar to Ebay, but doesn’t have the same amount of traffic. If you’re selling on Ebid, you’ll want to market your items elsewhere, too.  On the plus side, however, EBid has lower fees than the big guys.

Bonanza is a great option for selling more unique and quirky items.  Bonanza has a large audience, has no listing fee, and a low commission percentage compared to Ebay.

Collectors.com is a great option to sell your collectibles online.

Local Options: Craigslist or Facebook Groups

The best thing about selling your stuff online locally is that you pay zero fees for listing and selling.

If you live in an area that has an active Craigslist community, try listing your item there.  Photos are key to selling your items. Use common sense and caution when meeting with buyers: only accept cash and meet in public places.

If you live in a community without a lot of Craiglist action, selling your stuff in Facebook Groups is a great option.  Find local Facebook groups to list your items and be sure to follow all the rules. You’ll keep all the profits of selling via Facebook

Apps to Consider: Letgo, Offerup, Etc.
​

There are several apps that let you create accounts and list your items for other members to see.

Apps like LetGo, OfferUp, and 5Miles, etc. are certainly options, however, many users complain about spammers, failure to show up to buy, etc.  Be sure to read reviews from users before signing up for an app.
