I have a dilemma and need some suggestions.

9. Reconsider your position on selling them.

My mother died unexpectedly recently, and left behind, among other things, a massive collection of Longaberger baskets. She loved them, and my sisters and I each selected a few to keep, but none of us are really into baskets.

After much agonizing, we decided to sell them on eBay. It's the only way to insure that whoever gets them is someone who will love and appreciate them. People go on eBay to find specific things; it isn't like an estate sale where things are bought on a whim.

As an added bonus, selling things on eBay is likely to get you pretty close to market value.
