Frequently Asked Questions

Why not run the sale myself?
There's a whole lot more involved to selling the entire contents of a home then there is to running a garage sale. We organized and clean every room of the house that the sale will take place in. We wash all glassware and clean and polish all other merchandise. We bring in as many tables, display cases and clothes racks that are needed to attractively display your items.

What about the items that are left over?
Over the course of the sale days we will typically sell most available items. Normally only unusable garage sale items are left. These can be donated to charity, retained by the owners or discarded at your discretion. If your goal is to empty the house completely then that's what we will do.
