Selling our memories!

So a little bit of back info...my grandmother passed away aug 15, 2005. She has 3 kids. My mother is the oldest, my uncle is the middle and my aunt the youngest. After my g'ma passed away, my aunt got alot of the items she had in her house. Things that meant ALOT to people- things like a watch, cufflinks,a sewing machine, a trunk..things other family members would cherish very deeply. Well my aunt decided to have a yard sale. My sister had wanted the sewing machine. it did not work. she wanted it because our g'mother had owned it. My aunt puts it in the yard sale. She took several things OUT of the yard sale after learning they were worth more than what could be recieved at a yard sale. She also put things in the yard sale that she had recieved as gifts and then invited over family members ( the same people who GAVE them some of the items) to come to her yard sale. .MY question is...do you find this immoral and wrong? Do you think this woman sounds like a greedy person who cares nothing about memories?

I feel she should have asked you people to choose what you wanted from your grandma's things and then put the rest up for sale. I donated my mom's things which I didn't need to an orphanage and some to poor kids too. Rest all I kept especially things that remind me of her. I also feel that only memories stay and I often snuggle up to her clothes just to feel that she is around me. Your aunt does sound greesy or may be she needed money really badly.
