Frequently Asked Questions #1
EXOTIC ENAMEL CLOISONNE SET FROM 1910
Why should I have an on-site sale? Having an estate sale on-site will bring in more money from the sale of the personal property than by any other means of liquidation. Your items are more appealing and sell better when they are displayed in an appropriate atmosphere. An on-site sale offers the convenience of no packing and no moving, both of which can result in damage to merchandise.
Why should I have an estate sales agent? An estate sale agent should be thought of as an extension of the family, not as a replacement of the family. We serve as the overseer of the sale of all items included and will work to bring in collectors, dealers and buyers willing to pay the best prices. Identification of and placing a value on antiques, collectibles and household items, coupled with a knowledge of the best fair-market value for merchandise take study and experience. It involves continual research. In short, it takes a full-time professional who specializes in this work. The extra money an experienced agent can realize for you from just a few items, priced right, makes the entire experience worth it.
When are estate sales usually held? The sale itself is conducted on a long weekend, sometimes including Thursdays and Mondays, which will set us apart from other sales in the area. Each sale is unique and the hours and days are determined accordingly.
How long does it take to prepare a sale? Unlike our others we feel we need at least two weeks and more to properly prepare for the sale. Time will be given to searching the house for any unusual and/or valuable items which will need buyers whose interests lay in those special areas and to be certain that everything is organized and displayed appropriately before the sale begins.
How An Estate Sale Works? Estate sales are on-premises sales of household items; it is the most efficient and financially rewarding way to dispose of personal property and Palmetto Estate Liquidators' sole purpose is to act as a manager in the sale of personal property in a manner similar to a real estate company's representation of the owner in the sale of a home. Once the family has decided what to keep and has removed those items, then the home is prepared in such a way as to turn it into a small store or boutique. Every item is displayed and priced, from precious antiques to everyday household items.
