You should sell all the green glass and get the money to move. IMO.
I love that glass.....
I suspect you were raised to keep junkIt is my contention that what looks like junk can usually be re-purposed. People are so quick these days to toss anything that has the slightest imperfection. When I was a kid the slogan was "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without." And the landfills didn't fill up so quickly.
Why can’t you find a local buyer? Is this like being unable to find a contractor?If only I could find a local buyer.
You are rightI've advertised on FB Online Garage Sale and Craig's List - no nibbles. People don't want to pay fair market value these days. Here is a similar one on eBay. They want $25 for it and it isn't even a set:

Also, I don't see how those two situations you mentioned are mutually inclusive.
Deb,, have you tried putting up for sale signage in stores that have bulletin boards for items fo sale?
If there are Amish in your area,, they might want the crocks.
Like most you listed each item & took pictures and wrote descriptions of what the auctioneer took right? Or not.Nope. And when he returned that items he didn't sell, he made me come and pick them up or he said he's take them to the dump and charge me for his trouble. When I went there, most of the things he returned weren't even mine. I think he played a switcheroo with some really nice things - at least he never accounted for them (like a chandelier lamp and a large Greek style print picture) and substituted junk he wanted to get rid of.
So you don't miss what you didn't know he threw away?We moved a little over a year ago and my husband threw away almost everything in our basement. He didn't even tell me what was there and since there was so much and I have a bad memory I have no idea what he tossed away. He did save things he knew I treasured that had belonged to my parents. Thankfully he didn't throw away any pictures.
