How about you give a frick about the climate and the rest of us a-hole.

Curious
Has this business been lucrative enough to do as standalone business or is it a side hustle?

One of the slot machines looked to have coins it. That's the only thing that caught my eye.

Sure, it's no Toonces, but I like that top left vintage LSU hat

Estate sales always give me a sort of creepy vibe. I guess because it's looking through the belongings of a deceased person and it's usually in their house. But it seems to be the best way to offload a ton of possessions and I might have to go that route with the parent's stuff.

How the hell long did it take those people to upload 600+ photos???

The Swaggart Issue, the only porno mag that I ever found at my childhood home. Mom and Dad were curious of what Ol’ Girl looked like to bring Jimmy down. They were not impressed.

Did Ray’s wife die ?
Trudy Smith didn't come up when searching BR obits. Was wondering about that too. She wasn't exactly Mrs. personality, in my experience. Ray, on the other hand was very nice and outgoing.

Don't waste your time. It'd never fit. They didn't call Ray "Big Head" for nothing.

Worth more than that

At best, this looks like organized hoarding. A part of me wants to see what it all looked like before the possessions were divided into these groups.
Regardless, I feel for the person(s) who is/are trying to get rid of all this stuff. If you've not done this before, you never realize how much stuff an individual owns until you have to touch every single thing and come to a decision on whether to sell, donate, or throw it away. It's a big enough task when the deceased was a normal person with a normal amount of stuff. For this man, though, it would overwhelm me. I'd be very tempted to have several dumpsters brought in because the urge to toss it all would be huge.

You can make ok money doing this for a living. It’s a lot of work. I only do it as a hobby. I haven’t been out in a few months.
Last year I was busy at work, so I only did about $14,000 in sales on eBay, 95% was in the first 4 months.
