Wildwood Estate Sale

My father passed away from pancreatic cancer and my mother now lives with me and my family as she transitions into dementia. As we have lovingly worked to prepare their home for a new family, we have had good days and bad as we discover unknown treasures as well as favorite pieces from long ago. This week will will be offering the majority of their estate for you to consider welcoming into your home or to pass onto others.

We will continue to add updated descriptions and will post photos ASAP. We are also adding thoughts on re-purposing some pieces from times gone by and hope you enjoy some of the ideas on how to reimagine different pieces. Thank you for your patience as we update this listing as well as your consideration of our sale which is packed with unique treasures such as:

* a fantastic assortment of over 1,000 DVDs dating from oldies but goodies ... such as 007, Rockford Files, MacGyver, Roy Rogers, Hart to Hart, Columbo, I Dream of Jeannie, Abbott and Costello, JAG, Indiana Jones, Open Season, Toy Story 3, Arthur and Planes. Modern favorites include movies like Unbroken, La La Land, Top Gun, Daddy's Home, The Eye of March, Sherlock Holmes. There are also war and airplane documentaries, self defense videos teaching Krav Maga, dancing videos and self-help videos. It's a vast collection and you're sure to find something you will just have to take home and watch.

* the number of DVDs is only outdone by the number of VHS tapes. The selection is similar to the selection of DVDs. While VHS may be outdated, we also have VHS machines available for sale. VHS provides hours of fun walks down memory lane, when life was simpler and less stress-filled. Fun Fact: did you know you can also use VHS tapes to build furniture ... including a foosball table?

* plastic cases for the VHS tapes are also in abundance ... maybe you don't think they are still "hip", but these make an easy DIY project. Just place a favorite photo in the cover where the movie cover used to be and then mount it to your wall with a command hook for hanging pictures or a nail or a screw. And here's the sweet part ... the inside is now a secret hiding place for valuables ... or maybe you want to use it to store some favorite memories related to that photo you displayed. The ideas are endless and the result is plain AWESOME!!!!

* hundreds upon hundreds of CDs from artists such as Kenny G, Michael Buble, Barry Manilow, Josh Grobin, The Platters, Air Supply, Shania Twain, Kenny Rogers, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, ABBA, the Village People, Cher, Pat Boone, Tom Wopat ("Who is HE??" you might ask ... well, do you remember "Luke Duke" from the "Duke's of Hazard"? That's him!!!), classical music,  and many, many more choices for you to enjoy.

* over 50 vinyl albums featuring the greats like Neil Diamond, Frankie Lane, Johnny Mathis, Neil Sedaka, Al Jolson, The Carpenters, etc. If you aren't into listening to vinyl (which is so in right now!!!), did you know you can turn records into bowl? Just grab some of your favorite artists, follow online directions and before you know it, you'll be impressing your friends with your new display bowls.

* cameras and video cameras from the 1970s and 1980s era.
