Don’t get me wrong, antiques and collectibles always help a sale, however, they are not required to have a successful sale.  Some very successful sales have been in homes where there was not a single antique or collectible. In these cases having good clean furniture, lots of small items, décor pieces, etc. helps the sale tremendously.  In todays economy most buyers attending estate sales are looking for good bargains on every day use items.  Here is a short list of items that are selling really well at estate sales right now:

  • Tools of any type
  • Lawn mowers, leaf blowers, yard equipment etc.
  • Patio Furniture & Grills
  • Vintage items
  • Costume jewelry
  • Gold, silver & coins
  • Guns & Hunting equipment
  • WW2 memorabilia
  • Nice home décor items
  • Furniture (if in good , clean condition)
  • And don’t worry if you do have antiques or collectibles, we always have that market for those items as well!
