I don't know about estate sales, but I had a situation a couple of years ago where a friend died and I got a ton of his stuff. The majority of it is vinyl, and some of it is worth quite a bit. Of course, this didn't go down well with some family members and friends who were probably expecting it to be divided between them. I suspect the reason it was left to me is because he knew I wouldn't sell it. I did sell some of it and covered funeral costs. What they don't know is, I only had to sell 6-7 bits of Beatles vinyl to do that.
Dead people's stuff creeps me out. Not in the sense that I myself feel weird for having it, but because of other people's reaction to it once the person has died. They're like vultures.
