Mostly crap; I got lucky once though finding an estate run by younger people who had three fanatic JRPG friends donate to the sale. Twelve of the games had been picked (I'm thinking Grandia and ps1 Lunars) but I still found $240-300 worth of stuff.
Your best bet with estate sales though is to look for free books (bulk) when they're getting ready to wrap up, especially if you have a local used bookstore that takes trade-ins. For reselling individual books myself, I keep an eye out for old radio-related technical books and anything more esoteric (Example: I did well on a $3 lot of books with titles like Roman Medicine, Medieval History--along with some nicely-bound Folio Society texts)
