Maybe, no probably no one in the group knows anyone reliable in Dallas
to handle your sales. Maybe there isn't anyone in the group from
Dallas, I don't know.
A place to get started is the phone book, under Estate Sales. The
people you find there will bill you one of two ways, just for the
appraisal of your items; either with an hourly fee, or a straight
price. It's important to find out which one up front.
To determine reliability, talk to your friends and relations, and see
if any of them have had any interaction with any of the businesses.

several weeks ago about where, if anyone knew, in Dallas, could I

wasn't specific on what type. Just a general question. I never got an
answer. But I did continue to look into it. Plus continued the group
just like you to look at pictures and learn from others postings.
