Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is an Estate Sale?
An estate sale, also known as a tag sale or liquidation sale, is a method of selling off the entire contents of a home. While similar to garage sales, estate sales are typically much larger in scale. They usually involve selling everything in the home, often including appliances, furniture, and personal belongings. At Carolina Estate Sale & Auction Services, we conduct estate sales directly from the property, allowing us to sell a wider variety of items compared to moving them offsite or listing them in an online auction.
What is Sold at an Estate Sale?
An estate sale typically offers everything in the home for sale. Over the years, people accumulate a wide variety of goods, and an estate sale is the opportunity to clear it all out. Some of the most common items sold include:
Household Goods: Dishes, silverware, glasses, pots, pans, towels, sheets, bedding, and clothes.
Tools & Appliances: Hand tools, power tools, cleaning supplies, electronics, lawn mowers, and other everyday items.
Furniture: Dining room sets, bedroom furniture, couches, chairs, coffee tables, and more.
If it’s in the home, it’s likely to be sold during an estate sale.
How Can an Estate Sale Benefit Me?
An estate sale can be a valuable way to turn household goods into cash while preparing a home for sale or returning it to a landlord. Estate sales are particularly helpful during times of transition, such as:
Moving: Liquidate unnecessary items before a move.
Handling a Loved One’s Estate: Simplify the process of clearing out a loved one’s home while generating some extra funds that can help cover expenses like moving costs, assisted living, or funeral expenses.
Preparing a Home for Sale: Clear out a house to make it more appealing to potential buyers.
Hiring a professional estate sale company saves you time and energy, allowing you to focus on other priorities.
Why Hire an Estate Sale Company?
Running an estate sale is a significant undertaking that requires time, expertise, and organization. For most people, it’s not practical to handle an estate sale on their own, especially during stressful or emotional times. Here are a few reasons to hire a professional:
Time Savings: Setting up an estate sale can take weeks, including researching and pricing items, organizing, displaying, and advertising.
Expertise: Estate sale professionals have the knowledge to appropriately value and price items, maximizing potential returns.
Stress Relief: Handling an estate sale during a difficult time (such as moving or after a loved one’s passing) can be overwhelming. Professionals handle everything, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
Marketing & Permits: Estate sale companies handle advertising, including placing ads, posting online listings, and obtaining necessary permits.
A professional estate sale service makes the process easy, efficient, and profitable for you.
Auction FAQ’S
What is Auction Consignment?
Auction consignment is the process where a seller entrusts their items to an auction house to be sold on their behalf. In return, the auction house takes a commission from the final sale price. This allows you to tap into the expertise and marketing resources of the auction house to sell your items to a broader audience.
When is Selling at Auction a Good Idea?
Selling at auction is a great option if:
Wide Audience Exposure: You want to market your items to a large, global audience.
Subjective Value: The items have a subjective value that may vary between buyers (such as antiques or collectibles).
Low Commercial Value: Items with low commercial value that may not be as easily sold in traditional retail settings are often well-suited for auctions.
How Much Does It Cost to Consign an Item?
Consignment usually involves a minimum fee, which you pay regardless of whether the item sells. This fee covers the cost of marketing and advertising the item, as well as any additional services the auction house provides. Be sure to ask about any additional fees, such as a commission percentage on the final sale price.
What Happens if an Item Doesn't Sell?
If an item doesn’t sell at auction, there are several options:
Reconsignment: You may have the option to consign the item again in another auction.
Return: The auction house may return the item to you.
Donation: Alternatively, you can choose to donate unsold items to charity, with the auction house assisting with the process.
