I say eBay. Maybe get a nearby antiques shop owner to take a look and value things.

First try an Estate Sale, there are companies that specialise in this. They will value everything correctly and then hold the sale for you at the home. There are also companies that will value the estate and clear everything for you, be sure to check them out with the Better Business Bureau and check references as you want a company that you can trust to give you a fair price for everything. They will tell you what is of value and what is not. Anything not worth much could be ebayed or given to Goodwill.

Estate Sales are ok but you should first get to know the value of at least some of the items yourself. Ebay is ok to check on what things might be going for now if they have what you have there but keep in mind that right now on ebay sellers are leaving there in droves and taking their buyers with them due to their policies so prices might be kind of low. I don't recommend selling items on ebay. To many ways for a seller to get ripped off there now and they won't allow you to accept cash or even USPS money orders there soon. You might want to try one of the free sites once you know what a fair price is for an item. One I like is Gozbay.com Friendly and items listed there do show up on Google search after just a few days. That is how I first found the site.

Find an antiques or estate dealer who specializes in such things and have them do an honest evaluation. A lot of "antiques" are really old junk and their value is more sentimental than monetary. Similarly, some things you don't expect have significant value. A professional who's engaged in the market will be able to provide sound advice.

What about eBay & Craigslist. I have a friend who's moving and has basically sold everything on craigslist.

If you have an idea of what things are worth you can list them on Craigslist and/or Kijiji

do your homework on the internet. i collect records and old stereo equipment and have spent many late nights reading about the finer points and subtleties of what's out there. it may be that what you have is not quite competitive in a tight market. but here's a more serious question; first of all i'm sorry about your mom, i lost mine last year. is it just hard for you to let go of her things?
-
What do you have and where are you located (just state will do)
-
Store them and wait until things improve. Besides, they will be escalating in value whilst in storage.
