Haushalt = household aufl�sen = to dissolve, liquidate kaufen = to buy
I would say that a "Haushaltsaufl�ser" seems to be somebody who liquidates households. Together with the word "kaufen" the only meaning I could think of is to "engage somebody, who liquidates a household".
Any more information around these 2 words? Maybe that might be helpful.

It could be also the beginning of an advertisement "Haushaltsaufl�ser kaufen ...", which means that the advertiser (who liquidates households) is looking for items. In this case "kaufen" means "to purchase".
Probably he wants to purchase items from household liquidations.

It makes no sense. In the german language, you would never say or write something like this. If I would say, I' m a "Haushaltsaufl�ser", the meaning would be, it's my job to liquidate households, but in a private way. "kaufen" means the plural. One person: "Er kauft", two people: "sie kaufen" (they buy). So, if there is a company of semiprofessional guys, who want to buy something, they could write these words, but its very theoretical. A typical offer in german newspapers is: "...wegen Haushaltsaufl�sung zu verkaufen."

Thanks guys, thats what I thought.
The context was an email I received from the buyer of a grouping in Berlin. It turns out the widow of the vet passed away, and the daugher sold the house and everything in it, including these items from the war. I understood the rest but couldnt not figure out this word (apart from kaufen)
"Die St�cke stammten aus einer Haushaltsaufl�sung hier in Berlin. "
