Estate sales “junkies” are amazingly dedicated to the art of seeking antiques and vintage estate treasures.
The Art of the Estate Sale
Yes, we’re calling it an art -- defined as something that is created with imagination and skill. While estate sale buyers are not necessarily creating anything other than a bargain, they approach estate sales with great imagination and skill.
With the spring estate sale season about to launch, enthusiastic buyers are anxious to dive into a vast array of estates, moving sales, and tag sales from well-appointed manors to small, humble abodes. They are looking for treasures and unique items that simply cannot be found in retail stores. All this, while at the same time attempting to get these treasures for a bargain price.
We have to admit, we L-O-V-E estates too. We should ... it's our business! With over 20 years in the estates business, we work to refine the art of estate sales by presenting estates in a new way. We believe we are achieving that.
Online Estate Sales & Estate Auctions
Through online estate auctions and online showroom, both buyers and sellers are in a win-win situation.
First, estate sale buyers can view, research, and buy estate finds from the comfort of their own home. Also, unlike traditional estate sales where the seller sets an arbitrary price with the hopes that a customer will bite (only to lower prices as time passes buy), our online auctions offer buyers the opportunity to set the market price.
With most bids starting at $1, bidders choose how high they are willing to go to purchase any given item. If the highest bid is only $3, then that piece sells for $3. This format enables sellers to liquidate everything they want or need to sell. And we mean everything. No more figuring out what to do with those odds and ends that did not sell in traditional estate sales.
Beyond the online estate auctions and flash sales, clients also have the opportunity to consign select pieces in the designer-quality showroom, which is also available to online customers. Customers are amazed at the quality and quantity of these showroom pieces — all conveniently located in Fairfield County without the normal high Fairfield County prices. Once customers experience high-end consignments, they never want to pay retail again!
