To the untrained eye, a sign for an estate sale can seem like an advertisement for just another Saturday afternoon spent looking through second-hand goods. Savvy collectors recognize that an estate sale really signifies a possible treasure trove of hard to find items, sets of goods, and possible antiques. One problem that many browsers are finding is that the term itself is catching on as a way to garner interest in the event. This can make it difficult to distinguish at first glance what is truly an estate sale and what is really a glorified yard sale.
Terminology Is Important
A true estate sale really means that everything within the domicile and on the property may be purchased. It does not simply refer to an event where many items are available, but rather to the scope of the purchase domain. For this reason, some estate sales can extend beyond the physical confines of a property.
We often see this when the properties have been a primary residence for decades, and the accumulation of goods cannot be sold off over the course of even four days. At Heritage Estate Sales, we will frequently use our Ebay store to ensure that all goods on the market do get purchased. For the consumer, this also means that they can confidently shop for accurately described and identified lots as well as individual items, without the worry of getting duped by just another yard sale.
