I have the daunting task of seeing if anything from my grandmother's house can be sold. Things like Anchor Hocking Glass, and old barbie doll, china, etc.  Already in an hour looked up somethings but I'm wondering if anyone here has sold old household items in the past and how they went about it.
Think I'll be busy for a while doing research.

My Mum does the whole antique thing.. she has a house (literly) full of the stuff and she is still adding to it, garage sales every Saturday..buys $2 things that are "worth" $200.. that sort of thing, not that shes selling any of it.. it just accumulates.. anyway some of its easy to identify, stamps, markes etc some of it isn't and then you still have to find someone to buy the stuff and how long that takes.. ebay is of course the easy answer, nice catagories for you to search and look up and sell in, obviously you know the plus and minuses of that... the biggest problem is that you are looking at selling something you know nothing about and there are a lot of fakes/reproductions around as well..  hmm.. I'd probly sell the stuff that is easily identifiable first and those probable have some set market value, the rest.. prob see if you can ask an expert, I hesitate to say ask an antique dealer as they will want to cherry pick the stuff and offer low prices (they have to make a living but sometimes...)...

Everythings is worth something, thats what ebay has taught me...

Thanks for the advice, I already have some understanding of what somethings are from doing online research, so shall stay in touch here.  Am borrowing a camera so will be taking pictures of things.  And my grandmother is still alive, just in a nursing home.  96 years young, 97 in 4 months.
