Cleaning out my mom's house. I hate to trash things that may be useful to someone else and some of it's probably worth some $$. I've used Facebook marketplace a couple of times. I've heard of OfferUp and LetGo but haven't used them. Where will i get the best response and $? Should i just pile it all up and do an online estate sale instead? TIA. Also, if anyone has done this and has any general tips, please share.

Kind of depends on what you're selling specifically, but my usual avenues are ebay and craigslist. I've had mixed results, but sometimes it's effective.

Thanks, everything - decor, dishes, furniture, art. I forgot about eBay. Thanks.

Be very sure you understand the fees on eBay. They are considerable and they also take a percentage of whatever shipping you charge so if you sell something for $5 with $20 shipping you are paying fees on $25.

No problem, hope you are successful in your endeavors.
