Although Heritage Estate Sales is probably best known for our on property events, we also have a showroom at our own office-home for antiques, jewelry, and collectibles that have not yet found a buyer. This will often happen when a client requires a quick clearing, and we are able to purchase all the belongings as a single lot. Many of these items are also featured on our Ebay store which may be accessed by a visit to our website. However, for interested buyers in the Los Angeles area, there is always the opportunity to peruse the goods in our showroom if you happened to miss the last estate sale we held.
One of the things that gets us very excited about estates sales that we hold within a client’s residence is that we are able to stage the good in a manner that reflects the personality of the home, and is also cohesive. A large number of collections, whether it is vintage furniture, Rolex watches, or Minton china sets, are best viewed as the full set, as it gives the impact of the pieces and the application for the buyer within their own home. We find that the traditional estate sale has a wonderful effect because of this.
The Psychology Of Purchasing
Another interesting thing that we have found, from both our showroom and our events, is that buyers are highly intrigued by essentially shopping in someone’s home. There is an innate psychology that connects the purchase with the idea of integrating the history of another person’s life. As a metaphor, it is almost like retelling a story in order to make it your own. During our events, the buyers become a part of the collection history, and in integrating parts of it into their own lives they are able to keep that memory cherished.
A visit to our showroom will allow you to experience a similar effect. We keep collections together and stage them similarly to the way they were displayed in their former residence. This helps to preserve the nostalgia and style that was associated with them and convey that to our potential buyers. All of our clients appreciate this fact, since even in letting go of possessions, there is still care for what becomes of them.
