With most collections probably at least half are worthless or at least wouldn't make any money on ebay *maybe* a couple of dollars on Facebook Marketplace but not worth all the scammers and no shows. Most of the rest might make enough to be worth the time of cleaning, photographing and listing and posting when sold on eBay but will probably take some time to sell especially if you dont price it right, so you have to have somewhere to store it. The few good things you hope you can recognise but it might just be some random one that looks like trash but is valued by collectors for some odd reason. So then you hope you don't under price the valuable ones. Some collections have no valuable ones. So yeah it's a burden for the kin. Not like collecting gold or even jewellery.
Can't you use google lens to identify the product and then using that knowledge to see what the price range are going for it?
As for storage i'd recommend putting them in small boxes already filled with bubble wrap, catalogued and name'd just a few steps away from being shipped
I used to send ship overseas, its a gamble really, sometimes the package gets in there fine, sometimes the incompetent post-office loses the package, sometimes they play football with it and it comes broken to the receiver
Its worth ponying up for UPS or DHL, they are expensive but the package always gets to its destination in one piece (though DHL sure take their sweet fucking time)

You can do all that, google lens and even proper searching won't always help getting an accurate price on non-branded collections. But anyway all that is time and effort and a burden, maybe not a huge one if you sell online regularly but still a burden to liquidise rather then a few pieces of valuable art which can be auctioned for high return and low effort, or selling gold or jewellery or land or stocks.
Gold and jewellery i'd never sell, since i consider them family heirlooms, to be passed to children/grandchildren
Same with painting and other fine arts
I've got painting from my grandmother who got hers from hers and so forth... These paintings are almost 200 years old in a decorated brass frame
As for land... Like wine, its price only increases with time.

Toast message
It's better than Soyim collecting funko pops and having absolutely 0 progeny, legacy, or any redeeming traits
Hell. If they're kept well enough and are antique/collector enough, she might have left her progeny with a pretty damned sizeable inheritance.
