A sunday sale

Even though I've been blogging about garage/estate sales for just a short time, I am learning a great deal based on my own research and speaking with the experts as well as the buyers who start waiting on line at the crack of dawn.

There was a sale today and usually there are very few Sunday sales. It was orchestrated by Priceless Find, an estate, house sale and contents liquidation service. I think having a sale on Sunday and Monday is a great idea because they have very little competition on those days. The buyers who go out often don't have to choose between sales because the Sunday sale will be one of the very few.

It was a very interesting sale because the items were very diverse - vintage clothing and jewelry to dolls and stuffed animals. Truly something for everyone.  They even were selling unopened model kits and star wars action figures. People were buying dolls, clothes, lamps and coming back for more.  

Like the Priceless Find web site states "It is amazing what people will buy; We have sold post cards, matches, manuals, unopened food, cleaning supplies, clothing, linens, towels, clothing, sheets, and glassware." I couldn't agree more, because I have actually witnessed people buying these things and more! A big seller as well, in what I've experienced,  is tools. Yes, many people will directly head down to the basement first in search of that very handy power tool.

All in all, it was a  unique sale based on what was offered and I might go back to visit again tomorrow because I was told they haven't unpacked everything yet.

Thanks again, Ken, for being patient and answering my questions!
