Information for Estate Sale Buyers

 

You already know that estate sales are where vintage buyers go to find the "good stuff" -- well-priced antiques straight from the homes that housed them. If you're not necessarily into retro collectibles, you may have driven past sales without a second thought.

 

But, estate sales can be a great place to find everyday items for a deeply discounted price.

 

Make sure to always have cash on-hand, because you're in for a house-sized garage sale. If you'd rather receive a notice than look on Craigslist, sign up for our Email List so we can send you a newsletter with fresh listings.

BUYERS

Silverware: The real thing can be pricey when new, but you can often find whole sets for a fraction of the cost. You can also find less-precious (but stylish) sets of everyday flatware for far less than department/specialty store prices.

 

Big Furnishings: Older can be better when it comes to furniture, particularly when we're talking about pieces like bureaus, tables and shelving units. You'll generally find solid wood furniture that's been lovingly preserved, at discount furniture store prices.

 

Dishware: Whether it's fine china or for everyday use, you can find dishes at a steal.  Also look for table linens, kitchen wares, specialized pieces, and other accoutrements.

 

Glassware:  Large and diverse sorts of glassware, both collectible and non, at considerably lower prices than departments stores. You can find colorful vintage pieces, or plain pint glasses.

 

Also, Jewelry, Big Appliances, Cookware, Electronics, and Tools.
