The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Long story short - I sold them on ebay for a total of $735. YES - $735 for probably 40 post cards!!! I purchased my folks a big flat screen TV AND paid for several months of cable for them for the new place.
After that unbelievable sale - Dad took me aside and showed me some old framed feather pictures from Mexico. He said "Your brother wants these. Are they worth anything on that computer thing like the post cards?" I told him maybe...he handed them to me....LOLOLOL.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Vintage collectibles often sell well. Check out sites such as Ruby Lane or Etsy to see what they are selling and what types of prices are being asked. Small collectibles that are popular and jewelry are so much easier to ship than porcelain or glass. Many things have a good market. But to tell the truth, most things people have is usually "junk." There is so much that was made that it doesn't have any real value.
If you do a lot of research, you may find you have some treasures. I wouldn't bother to put the junk online. People won't buy it. Like I mentioned, it goes much easier in a yard sale.
But....I have cabinets filled with Fenton glass....each piece retailed for around $20 in the day, but now worth only $4 to $5 on ebay....so have given away most to relatives and friends who knew Mom. Children of WWII rationing and the depression kept EVERYTHING!
Keep us posted on how you do and keep sharing your ideas please!
So I decided the fastest way to get all this stuff out of my house [my family room and dining room were looking like a flea market] was to donate all the items to various charitable outlets. That way my Dad would have a really nice deduction come income tax time :)
Salvation Army will come this Thursday to get what is left of my parents furniture... if I had known how easy it was to go on-line at the Salvation Army and check off what furniture, etc. and to pick a pickup date, I would have done this months ago [slapping forehead].
