Estate sales can have a myriad of different types of things, and learning just what to shop for at estate sales can help you to make your shopping experience that much better. There are some items that are perfect for estate sale savvy individuals, and others which may not be, and we at Heritage Estate Sales want to help you to make your next estate sale visit a productive one! From antiques to newer items, you can find just about anything at estate sales, and some of the best items to keep an eye out for are:
- Silverware – If you’re looking for the real deal in particular, silverware is one thing you’ll have to keep an eye out for at estate sales! Antique silverware is a big deal to silver collectors, antique connoisseurs, and those who simply want a bit of vintage style, and these are quite common at estate sales for very reasonable prices. If you’re simply looking for flatware, you can also find entire sets rather frequently, and for much more affordable price points than you may find in a department store.
- Dishes – To go along with flatware, dishware is also a big estate sale item. From fine serving pieces, to antique ceramics, all the way to modern dishware sets, estate sales are a prime place to find any type of dish. What we do recommend, however, is doing a little research beforehand if you’re looking for finer pieces or specific antiques!
- Furniture – Furniture takes up a lot of space, which is why it’s so frequently seen in estate sale listings. Antique furniture pieces and large furniture pieces are some of the most popular at estate sales, and this is one place where you can really find a great deal of uniqueness if you’re trying to find some new interior decorating staples!
- Jewelry – Both costume and fine jewelry pieces are extremely popular at estate sales, and we at Heritage Estate Sales see more varieties of jewelry pieces than we can count! If you’re looking for a larger jewelry purchase, you can often get more bang for your buck by going the estate sale route!
While these are just some of the most common items people are looking for at local estate sales, you can really find a little bit of everything. If you’re looking for something in particular, or you’d like to learn more about what you can find at an estate sale, call us at Heritage Estate Sales today and we’d be happy to help!
