Duane Scott Cerny
Selling Dead People’s Things is a wry behind-the-curtain peek into the world of antiques and their obsessive owners—while still alive and after their passing. An amusing observer of the human condition, author Duane Scott Cerny entertains in illuminating, scary, sad, or frightfully funny resale tales and essays. Whether processing the estate of a hoarding beekeeper, disassembling the retro remains of an infamous haunted hospital, or conducting an impromptu appraisal during a shiva gone disturbingly wrong, every day is a twisted treasure hunt for this 21st-century antiques dealer.
While digging deep into the basements, attics, and souls of the most interesting collectors imaginable, traveling from one odd house call to the curious next, resale predicaments will confound your every turn. Be careful where you step, watch what you touch, and gird your heart—Antiques Roadshow, this ain’t!

Before I say anything about the book itself, I first have to point out that this may be one of the worst book covers in the history of book covers. As a vintage reseller myself, I understand how one has to approach the process with compassion and respect for the dead, a theme that Cerny establishes beautifully throughout the book, and this cover undermines all of that with it's weird horror vibes. Ugh...so bad. That said, we can't judge the book by its cover, and the stories within are, for the most part, pretty delightful. I really enjoyed learning about Cerny's history in the business, and the stories he has to tell are at times hysterical, often moving, and sometimes a bit too far-fetched. There were a few tales that fell a bit flat, but many of them were entertaining enough to make up for that. I'm not sure if the book would hit the same for somebody not involved in the world of vintage reselling, but for my part, I enjoyed it. Cerny's narration was pretty engaging for the most part, and he is a dynamic storyteller, but the production value is low, and there is a lot of extraneous mouth noise that might be aggravating for folks with sensitivities to such things.
