Help needed!

I met a friend for dinner and to discuss what she needs to do with her father's furnishings. It has been awhile since I have seen her so I lost track of the fact that it has been some time since her father passed away. Seven years to be accurate.
In those seven years, she has stored his furniture and clothing and paid for the storage. ($150- she was not even able to accurately account for the money spent on storage! Now, that is a problem to begin with. No math skills.)
We are not discussing a wealthy person. In fact, she lives in subsidized housing. She hid the fact that she inherited money from the sale of her father's house. The house was $150,000 and divided with her sister who it sounds like did not need the money.
I had to tell my friend not to expect a great deal of money for some of the items. She had a vacuum cleaner and was hoping for $150. I suggested that $20 was more realistic.
She is going to take the train to Halifax where she is taking of these affairs. She does not drive which means if she wants to bring anything back, there will be major expense involved.
I felt like a genius as I discussed her options. She has no idea. Oh well, I tried.
