Here at Heritage Estate Sales, we host many different types of estate sales for those looking to clean out and unload their unwanted possessions. So what makes estate sales different from any other type of sale? Which sale is better for my needs? Don’t worry, we have the answers!
Yard Sales
Sometimes known as garage sales, this is a type of sale that is often held in somebody’s yard, driveway, or garage. These sales tend to be pretty informal and can be very unpredictable. Advertising only goes as far as brightly colored signs and possibly a small ad in the paper. Usually yard sales are used to sell cookware, books, smaller pieces of furniture, children’s outgrown toys and clothing, etc. Sadly, these don’t tend to sell well normally and often don’t have much to offer unless you have an infant or child.
Estate Sales
An estate sale is simply the sale of goods from an estate. Often these items are from someone who has passed away, but that isn’t always the case. Estate sales usually contain terrific antiques and household items at only a fraction of their cost. These types of sales are managed by professionals who will take care of the sale itself including the difficult tasks of crowd control and security. This takes a lot of stress off the seller and gives them better advertising too.
Other Types Of Sales
Moving sales often contain the partial or even the entire contents of someone’s home. Since moving is expensive, many people would rather sell a large percentage of their possessions rather than to pay to move them. However, estate sales can also be used for this purpose.
Tag sales are sort of a hybrid between a yard sale and an estate sale. Usually, this sale is of a living person’s property and often contains nicer items than what you’d find in a garage sale.
Though it can be tempting, there is no sale that has the quality or professionalism that an estate sale brings. Estate sales are done by people who know the business and can handle some of the more complicated aspects of selling with ease.
