The whole process was eye-opening with regard to the sheer volume of stuff that she had "collected" over 60+ years (she was 84).

Here's a link to the sale site with pictures of the "stock":

Lots of pictures. Take a look, then tell me about your collections.

Oh, she never purged.
Wow, that's a lot of stuff! Cool house too.

I am in the process of liquidating my mother's estate, sale is this coming weekend. No where near as much as you had, but enough to keep 3-4 of us busy for 2 weeks organizing and prepping for the sale.

I am slowly getting rid of extraneous "stuff" in my life.
