Everyone has heard the term “estate sale,” but how many of us have actually shopped at one? Perhaps you believe that an estate sale is nothing more than a fancy sounding garage sale. This couldn’t be further from the truth. A garage sale is a random collection of unwanted and questionably functional items hastily thrown together, haphazardly priced, and offered for sale on a Saturday morning when the owners of these items have nothing better to do.
An estate sale, by contrast, is a series of expertly appraised, high quality items from a single estate. It is held indoors over a period of several days. In addition to being in good repair, all items at an estate sale are well organized and artfully arranged. Due to the careful appraisal process, all items are accurately priced. If the estate sale is held by a qualified estate sale service, then a knowledgeable staff member will be on hand to answer questions about the items.
An estate sale can be an excellent opportunity to get a great deal on a variety of useful and beautiful items. Because the items at an estate sale are second hand, you will get far better prices than you would find in a retail store. At an estate sale, you are also able to negotiate prices on items. For some people, this is a big part of the fun of shopping at an estate sale. Another great thing about estate sales is the variety of unique items that you will not find in a typical retail setting. In a sense, a good estate sale can be a lot like a treasure hunt. You never know what you might find!
