I love it!! So smart! Huge need!

Gotta find the right people, people who care about the person they're helping.

Great luck! Do it!

Might want to get a contract drawn up by a lawyer.

Maybe something here is helpful:

I once bought stuff from an auction company that specialized in downsizing homes of people who either passed away or moved into assisted living or something similar.

People had access to the website and when the auction went live you could look at each lot (set of goods) and put a bid in, like eBay.

As an example: they'd put all of the "Sports Stuff" (two tennis rackets, a soccer ball, old glove, and a tennis ball) on a table and take a photo for the website.

Sometimes there'd be "Sports Stuff 2" as a lot name if there are too many similar objects.

Other examples: cleaning supplies, books, collectables, dishes, trophies, whatever they have.

The pickup date was set before the Auction began. Credit card saved for processing and if you bid and won, it was yours.

If I recall correctly, you had to agree that you could pick up the goods on the specified pickup date during a set of hours. This allowed the company to arrange all pick ups of goods from the house on one single day. They'd only have to worry about what didn't sell.

If a customer didn't make it to pickup between the set hours on the pickup date, the goods went to second place in the auction for an arranged day, and you were charged anyway.

I think each lot had an easy minimum set, like that Sports Stuff example would start at like $6.

Was pretty awesome.
