Money for Clutter
I get calls during the year from people needing help getting rid of their household items due to a move, a senior transition or for a an estate situation. They just don’t know what to do with it all.
I just got an e-mail from a gentleman who calls his company, Money for Clutter. What he does is help people sell furniture, antiques, china, books, artwork, clothing, tools, appliances, jewelry, collectibles, pianos, garden equipment and almost any household items.
He goes into a home and photographs the items they want to sell. Then he prices them at market value and advertises in local Montreal web sites, on his site and to his own e-mail list of regular buyers. He negotiates the price before the potential buyer goes to the seller’s home so there are no surprises. If there is a lot involved or if they are elderly, he will accompany the buyer to the seller’s residence.
He works on a commission basis and takes a percentage of the final sale. If needed, he can set them up with a mover. For seniors, he offers a packing service, the sale of unwanted belongings or can hold an estate sale. He likes to say that he make a hard time a lot easier.

I am moving and am selling several items.
The largest ones are a seven piece Thomasville solid wood bedroom set and a kitchen/dinette set of a bleacked oak oval table and six chairs (2 with arms).
