P. McMakin Answered:

I'm presuming you mean vintage glassware and vintage dresses as well as railroad memorabilia and vintage or retro furnishings and accessories.

If you want to sell the entire contents of your grandparents' home, you might start by having the estate appraised. A reputable appraisal company should be able to give you an idea of what your items are worth; if there is a specific item they're unfamiliar with, they should also be able to point you towards an expert who can give you a better idea.

Other than that, you might do a search for "vintage glassware dealers," "railroad memorabilia dealers" and "vintage clothing dealers" and see if you turn up any items similar to yours for sale. Take note of the prices (condition and age will have an impact) and then look up similar dealers or collectors in your area and invite them to give you bids on your items. Good luck.
