I don’t want to keep all this mess, but at the same time, I don’t want to get taken advantage of.  My dad and grandmother spent almost 40 years collecting all this, and I’d like to have their efforts mean something by not “giving away the farm” to some disreputable clod(ess).

Hey padner,

Sorry for your loss. Expected or not, some things are just difficult.

If you don't need the money too much, maybe pick a church project that
needs some funding and mentally shift the sales parts to finding ways
to get that ministry the most you can. Making the work a connection
between your parents and those who need help might make the effort
more rewarding.
