---On another related topic ---  If I was in your business, I'd seriously consider going to estate sales and offering my DISCOUNTED clean-up services on places I liked with a lot of stuff. I could state up front what I won't take, make a low-ball offer. If they don't feel like giving it all to Goodwill - they might say yes.

Might be a cheaper way to fill shelves- if I had shelves to fill.

Just 'sayin...

This is the place where I could cruise for potential bidders.

Or, maybe I'll just ask the company what their deal is....

I don't have any good pics of the inside (furniture & stuff).

But this shows everything that was out in the backyard and in the garage (some of the stuff was sold obviously - but 85% is still there)


House is ~1500 square feet.


*folding tables & easy-up not included

I might be able to get a few extra days from the Landlord if I pay to play so to speak. As for auctioneer - we're not looking for that much $$ - seriously - I know people who will come and 'call the thing' and if it's only 3 or 4 buyers - so be it.

We just want to get this done.

OK Gentlemen and Ladies....

The amateur hour Estate Sale has come and gone and we got very little traffic. I blew it - missing the deadline for the local newspaper, and no signs are allowed in our residential marina, so - the only people who came were from EstateSales.net. We made >$1K but - there's still tons of stuff left.

The bad news is - the house (which belonged to 90+ lady) needs to be handed back to the Landlord 9/1!

If I had time to open a thrift store - I could fill the shelves on this house alone.

Speaking of thrift stores - she was addicted to them, and many items are still tagged with Goodwill, etc. Yesterday, someone bought 2 Waterford Crystal glasses for $5  (oh well - we let that one get by - but a deal, is a deal!)

There's some good furniture left, a rack full of vintage(y) clothes, scarves, belts, purses, books, mirrors, glass top dining table, great condition quality queen size bed, washer/dryer only 2+ years old, a garage full of thrift store "treasures", vintage hats, dolls, glassware, dishes, that kind of stuff.

The folding tables (10 of them) are all mine - and not included - but I'll throw in the double clothing rack.

Unlike a storage auction - you'll get to see everything that's for sale before you bid.

Unlike a storage auction - you'll get several days to 'clear out the stuff'

Unlike a storage auction - you'll have less competition.

I'm thinking Wednesday this week. I'll find an auctioneer.

Who's interested?
