Reply #107: This is what auction companies are for.

I would get her out of the house and have a company come in and have a huuuuuuggggeee auction. They could even just sell the boxes as mystery boxes or something.

Oh, btw, those glass covers to the telegraph poles tend to only by five bucks or so. They're similar to the glass bulbs on old lightning rods, which only run around five to ten bucks each. I would argue that the vast majority of that stuff is only worth around that, which, granted, is a lot of money added up, but that's what the auction company is for.
