We are in the process of having to dispose of many of the furnishing of both my Mum & my Mother-in-law. These were all "quality" built to last, some antiques, mostly 60's & 70's traditional / contemporary. As there's not a single Mid Century Modern item, few buyers & even thrift shops saying "no thanks" sadly most items will not have a 2nd or 3rd life but will end up in landfill.

"brown goods" as they are known. I was very lucky that my mom was an interior designer in the 50s and 60s and I was rocked as a baby in an Eames fibreglass rocker. When we had to sell her stuff we did very well!
Cool! We're even having trouble selling Antiques, & often when they do sell, the price is about what was paid for them in the '60's. We did have some fun tossing rocks at the several Regan & Thatcher "limited edition numbered" commemorative plates though.
