What's odd is that the workers aren't setting anything aside for their own selves, but maybe they have some other requirement. If I was doing a clean-out and there was something of value that I wasn't allowed to take, I'd be sure to call my friends and tell them that there is a shiny new trumpet worth $500 at the curb of 22nd and Main.

So maybe the most moral answer is to take everything possible and contact the loser and give them an opportunity to buy back their stuff from you, at a huge discount but enough for your troubles, if it has sentimental value. Otherwise, you did want to put up more eBay auctions.
