There are estate sales that are organized by professionals. I get the 
impression that sometimes not all the stuff is from the one house.
And not long ago I was given access to "all the records" left behind by a 
deceased person, who had specified this to his friends before dying. I was 
interested in only a small percentage of them, which I took..the sale 
organizers really didn't have the faintest idea what to do with the rest, which 
they probably offered as one huge lot.
