The most important thing to me is to see a recap of the items, what you paid, and what you list them for or what you expect to list them for. It was difficult to keep up and most resellers do a recap.
When humans stay in one place for decades, our homes tend to become embedded with the belongings our family has accumulated over the years. This house spoke of a long, comfortable life together; holiday meals, children and grandchildren, an active social life. We are often only known and remembered through the objects we leave behind.
It’s sad to see the way people handle other people’s things. The owner obviously took care of her items and then to see people tossing cloths, yanking from hangers, clanging dishes… sad that there’s no respect.
Agree. There was a beautiful antique lace tablecloth on the floor and I wanted to reach through the screen and pick it up. The people had everything set up and folded so nicely and the room looked trashed in no time flat.
I’m sorry, but porcelain plates are not made out of brick. It was so cringey to watch you grab those plates and cups with little to no delicacy…you are in someone’s home. You could show some delicacy with some items. Ugh
Wow! That sale was a visual reminder for being a minimalist, for sure! I can’t imagine how much the person had spent on purchasing all those items …. and for what? So many still new in the packages! Wow! Such a waste.
This run estate sale weird. No holding area and no designated checkout. When I ran a sale like this, I had three cashiers, huge holding spots and sales people taking stuff from people with their names and placing in hold area. Boy did we sell fast !
Its just sad, that when someone dies, their things are picked over by vultures! Sorry, but, it just feels that way. whoever died, kept these items in such good condition. And, I know you are excited by what you are finding, but, it seems like you were so rough on some of them.
When no one is looking, find a closet, cabinet or room that is off the beaten path and stash your stuff til your ready to check out. I used to work estate sales, we often put stuff in boxes in areas like that til they were ready cause there is only so much room at the check out. I am actually shocked you took the boxes and wrapping blankets, those are for after the sale so they can pack the stuff up that is left for either another upcoming sale, storage, or Goodwill. They usually pack with newspaper at the checkout. Just FYI, in case anyone wonders.
Agree, all the estates sales in my area have holding aka “sold” boxes underneath the checkout table or very near to the checkout. It’s so important to have the holding spots. One can only carry so much!!
I loved this…screaming Blenko on window sill (then you heard me)…yelling please look at the pillows hanging window, go back to that room (then you heard me)….really a lot of fun watching you find items. Good for you!!!!
That was Great. I enjoyed that. Recently we have found some great estate sales. It is so fun when you find a good one. They just should have had hold tables
Would like to see what you asked for the items. I gave you a thumbs up, but would like a follow up on each item and the selling part. Great strategy on focusing on one great room
Boy do this estate sale bring back memories. My area does have good Thrifting stores etc especially like your area. Not all estate sales are good either but I did come across a few like this one and boy was I right with you. I can no longer physically do these or get up early to go which we all know get the best things. These sales I buy everything from kitchen, linen, clothes and accessories, the vintage kids clothing etc. I even go back the next day. I could easily spend $600.00. Don’t know how you did it with no holding area, no bag etc. some people don’t know how much hard work it is and when it is over I want to jump in a swimming pool. Lol I have even paid a teenager to watch my stuff while I get my car. Fantastic score and hope you do well. TFS
This was my first o e watching her. This was an unbelievable sale. Very nice and high end items. However, sad to see that someone once bought these things and liked them. And, people just rummage through them with no regard. Some people were respectful of this having been a home that was loved. Glad this lady did well for her business. She will probably do very well with her eBay site.
I cannot believe how long you were in that linens room going through the treasures and it seemed like nobody really came in. Best sale and hardly any competition!! I have a good eye but I have learned a lot from watching g you shop. Thank you for your videos! They mean so much to me as a reseller 💕
HELLO GEMINI, I HAVE AN ESTATE SALE BUSINESS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. I HAD TO LAUGH AT YOUR COMMENT..." I WISH I HAD SOME PLACE TO PUT THIS STUFF". LOL I ALWAYS USE TO SAY THAT YEARS AGO BEFORE I STARTED MY ESTATE SALE BUSINESS. THAT IS WHY I HAVE HOLDING TUBS ON A LONG TABLE RIGHT BY THE CASHIER. BUYERS LOVE THEM AND USE THEM ALL THE TIME. I TELL THEM JUST PUT YOUR ITEMS IN THEM AND WALK AWAY AND YOUR ITEMS WILL BE THERE WHEN YOU ARE READY TO CHECK OUT. THIS GIVES THEM THE FREEDOM TO KEEP ON SHOPPING HANDS FREE. THEY ARE LARGE TUBS AND THEY CAN USE AS MANY AS THEY WANT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SELLERS DON'T SUPPLY TUBS. ITS A NO BRAINER. I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES THIS IN MY AREA. GO FIGURE...
THANK YOU. MY TUBS ALSO HAVE MY BUSINESS NAME ON THEM AND ARE NUMBERED. THIS WAY MYSELF AND MY CREW CAN HELP A BUYER BY ASKING IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE US START A TUB FOR THEM. WE WILL PLACE THE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THEIR HANDS IN A TUB AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT NUMBER IS THEIR TUB. THEY ARE SO USER FRIENDLY.
Hello, The floor lamp with the red glass was my fav. I love antiques and I am starting to get a collection. My kitchen chairs are all antiques and all different. I only like doillies and have a lot of them and I use them all. Great estate sale. Thank you.
This is the BEST ESTATE SALE......ever seen on YT and or even been to personally. I am just in hog heaven watching this video right now, I truly wish I could have been there between all the Pendleton items but when you hit the Anthro room absolutely amazing the amount of things in that one room along with all the pillows!!!
I wish you would have checked all the cast iron skillets to see if any of them was Griswold.You should have bought that Viking vase for $5 they sell for $60 and up on eBay. You should have looked at that Mont Blanc ink bottle at 8:19 in the video. A empty Mont Blanc ink bottles sold for $15. That one in the video looked like it still had ink in it. I love them I love them I love them, I believe you love linens.. Lol I just realized this hole was from 5 months ago. Lol
WOW !! What a great sale. I was surprised at how much great stuff was there after the sale had been going on for 30 minutes and then to have to go back to your car and return and find all those great linens . You know your stuff !!!
Those hobnail goblets are moonstone by anchor hocking (not as desirable as the Fenton barber bottle that you passed up sitting right next to them) and the amber bottle is blenko. The rest of the sale was insanely good. So sad that you missed out on that art glass lamp.
@@carolynjohnson418 well I'm an art glass collector so my eyes go directly to the glass. I don't purchase to resell which makes it so much easier when I'm not worried about if an item will sell or not. I think that you do a fine job, I was just pointing out what was obvious to me. The only piece I would have been interested in was the Fenton Barber Bottle. Moonstone has much less value. Blenko is still desirable in certain molds and colors. Best of luck to you, I enjoy your videos.
Wow- what an interesting and great estate sale! I gasped at the balloon sweater... why didn't you such a unique piece? You grabbed the linens without inspecting each one - how brave!
Oh my gosh, quickly you got it, made up your mind on it. They sure made you work for it. They didn't have enough help. You got so much stuff! I would have been second doubting leaving those Pendleton blankets there, depending on price. Just great get it even the curtains! I loved it too! Grabbing stuff with you, and deciding fast. This was just great fun for me to watch. You deserve that iced coffee especially after carrying it all out. Great estate sale! Thanks Tina! I'm glad you are feeling better!
