F aqs:
Below are some of the most commonly asked questions that we get about estate
sales.
Q: Aren't prices too high at estate sales?
A: Many bargains can be found at most estate sales. Due to the
nature of the sale, there are often many high quality items. Prices are
set to a fair market value, but are usually far below retail. If the price
seems high for something you would like to purchase, come back on the final day
of the sale when prices are normally reduced by 50%. If you have any
questions about the prices at estate sales being too high, take notice that the
first people who get in line at estate sales are usually dealers. They are
there to take advantage of the quality merchandise and the great pricing that is
available. These professionals know they are getting a bargain.
Q: What is the difference between an estate sale and a garage sale?
A: A garage sale is where people dispose of items that are either no
longer needed or valued. Most garage sale items are worn out or of poor
quality. They are items that many people just throw away. Estate
sales normally include the entire contents of a home and include the very best
in the way of furniture, china, linens, antiques, collectibles, tools, etc.
Q: Why should I come to an estate sale since I am looking for common items
for my home?
A: Estate sales usually have something for everyone. That not only
means fine furniture, antiques, china, silver, and collectible, but also
everyday items like tupperware, pots and pans, glasses, tools, sheets, towels,
clothing, and much more.
Q: Aren't all the good things already sold to dealers before the sale is open to the public?
A: Many estate sale services sell to dealers, friends, and even buy choice items themselves before offering anything to the public. We take pictures of the sale several days in advance and post them on the web site for all to see. Except on rare occasion when the family may decide not to sell an item at the last minute, everything in every picture will be there for you to purchase when we open the door for the sale. (The only private sales we have are when we invite our Mailing List customers, Hot Line customers, and their friends to a Private Sale - in other words anyone who wants to come. These sales are always listed here first, announced by email, on the Hot Line, and even in our ads. So anyone who wants to join the Mailing List or call the Hot Line for the information are invited to attend.)
