Guides 8

Before you recycle a computer or phone
A drive you did not wipe is a copy of your life in somebody else's hands. Deleting files is not wiping.
Identifying china before you sell it
The backstamp tells you the maker and the pattern. Without it, a set of plates is just a set of plates.
Clearing an estate: the first few days
What to do before anything is sold, donated or thrown out, and why the order matters more than the speed.
Dividing a parent's belongings with your siblings
The argument is usually about a chair, not money. Agree on what's already promised, photograph the house before anything moves, and keep the sentimental list separate from the valuable one.
Going through a parent's paperwork
A file cabinet is mostly junk mail and a few documents that are hard to replace. Pull the legal and financial papers first, keep the original order, and don't shred anything until you've seen the whole folder.
Sorting a record collection: the fast pass
Most of a collection is worth very little and a few records are worth a lot. The skill is separating them without listening to all of them.
What to do with a mattress nobody will take
Most charities won't take a used mattress and most haulers won't pick one up without a call first. Work through the store, the hauler and the donation desk before it ends up in the alley.
Where to start when there is too much stuff
A house full of possessions is not one job, it is a few hundred small decisions. This is the order that keeps you from making them twice.

Moving and lifting help
The most common reason a sale falls through is that the buyer cannot move the thing. A trolley and a second pair of hands solve it.
