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?
