I will try to write as often as I can about different things happening at the Estate Sales or about antiques, antiquing, appraisals, and anything else that comes to mind. There will also be tips and information about how to get the best bargains.

Handling Multiple Sales
Hi, Everyone,
I was asked how we are able to handle so many sales especially doing more than one at a time.
Thankfully, we have a terrific team of professionals who help us. Unless we had this volume of business, I could not afford to have them. That is what makes us our sales so successful.
While we are thankful for our many years of experience as antique dealers, that is a very small part of what makes a successful estate sales service. Merely being an antique dealer for years does not come close to preparing someone to handle estate sales. Most estate sales have few if any antiques and there is a lot more to it than having knowledge of antiques.
Our team is very experienced in many areas of business, sales, marketing, liquidation, appraising, etc. Being knowldegable about antiques is a plus but not near as important as other aspects of the business. That is the difference between an amateur and a professional.
Of course, many antique dealers who talk about their twenty or thirty years of experience don't mention that the experience is from renting a space in an antique mall where they were antique dealers as a side line just as they now try to handle estate sales as a side line.
We don't handle estate sales as a side line. It is our fulltime occupation.
For more information about our team and how we handle multiple sales read this article.
As it says in the article, "Every sale is given my devoted personal attention. Our proven success is the proof of that. Whether we are handling one sale or many, our efforts and results are second to none. We prove that with each sale and that is the reason that family after family turn to us to handle their estate sale needs."
See you at a sale soon.

Sunday, 22 May 2011The worse thing about Christmas season is that you don't have sales then. No one has estate sales like you do. Most of the others are just a big garage sale. I see their ads and they make it sound like it is great but when you go it is just a bunch of junk at high prices. They should be ashamed.

I wish you would do 5 or 6 sales a week. I love your sales and I would love to go to one after another all Saturday long.

I love your sales. I have been to everyone's sales. Everyone in the area who does sales and there is no comparison. Yours are by far the best. I saw in some of the other's ads that they said people needing an estate sale should visit sales and see who would best serve their needs. They better hope no one does that because if they did no one else would get to do any sales but you. I love your sales.
Vivian your sales are so much fun and so different from all the others that we see. Your work and skill is so obvious to everyone that comes to your sales. No one arranges things and decorates like your and your people do. And your prices are so good. I know that other sales we go to have been picked over before they open and sometimes it is so obvious that there are things added. Sometimes things that we saw at previous sales. It is nice to have know you all are so honest and work so hard to do things right way. I like it that you don't have a dealer day like other sales do so they can sell to their friends first. I can't wait for your next sale or the one after that. :-) Sherri
