Terms
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Cash only; no checks. If service is available, we will accept credit/debit for sales over $100 (there is a 3% fee). There is no excess cash on premises; till is emptied regularly. All valuables are removed from the sale nightly. Sales tax will be charged; dealers must provide a resale certificate at time of purchase – NO exceptions!
No refunds or returns. Be sure of your purchase before you pay - all sales are final! As with most sales, if you put it in your box or pile - you are buying it! If you tag it 'sold', it is yours. If you pay for it, you own it. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
Any sign-up list is to be self-managed. A limited number of people will be allowed into the home at intervals to ensure shopping is as safe and uninterrupted as possible. The amount of people entering the sale is totally dependent upon the size of the house and accessibility within.
Bring your own bags, boxes, packing materials and muscle. Our staff is needed inside the house and is not available for loading. Many items in the sale have been sorted into bins and crates; these are NOT included with the purchased items. All items must be removed by the end of the last day of sale. Display pieces must be paid for at the time of sale, but may not be picked up until the final day of the sale or a mutually agreed-upon time if they are being used for displaying goods. Not responsible for accidents or injuries.
Please leave jackets, large purses/carry-on type bags, backpacks, etc., at home! We will NOT allow anyone to bring these into the sale.
SISTERS ANTIQUES -- SAMMAMISH ESTATE SALE
SATURDAY -- OCTOBER 11th -- LAST DAY OF THIS EPIC SALE!!!
WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE GO-AHEAD TO DISCOUNT *NEARLY* EVERYTHING BY 50%. THOSE ITEMS NOT OFFERED AT 50% OFF WILL BE MARKED WITH A FINAL PRICE.
LIMITED AVAILABILITY -- SIGN UP LIST AVAILABLE! WE WILL ALLOW AS MANY PEOPLE IN THE SALE AS WE CAN ACCOMMODATE. BRING YOUR OWN BOXES AND WRAPPING MATERIALS!!! AND AGAIN, WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE AVAILABLE TO HELP LOAD; OUR STAFF IS NEEDED INSIDE TO ASSIST CUSTOMERS SO BRING MUSCLE IF YOU ARE BUYING FURNITURE!
* A note about the sign-up list: Please understand I have no control over who is first in line; I only control how many people will be allowed in at any given time. At some point prior to the sale and after the address is published, I will put out a clipboard with a sign-up list on my letterhead. This is done to avoid lists of others being pulled by less-than-honest people who then start a new list with their name first. If a person chooses to be on the premises before the official list is provided, it is up to that person(s) to know placement in line and add their name to the official list. Again – the list is self-managed by the buyers, not me!
DESCRIPTION OF SALE: We began working on this estate in May and held the first sale in August. Our contract stipulated that we would hold 2 sales, each for 3 consecutive days, 2 months apart. We probably unpacked, cleaned, displayed, photographed, and priced a little more than half of the estate for the first sale. As of today (about 2 weeks before the next sale) we are still going through bins and boxes and crates of treasures trying to display them and we are running out of room!
As we continue unpacking, I will try to update the list below as well as add additional photos. Also, if you are interested in the history of this estate you can read it at the very end of the description.
