About B&C Estate Liquidations & Appraisals
In 1995 we formed a partnership, B&C Sales for the sole purpose of conducting estate liquidations and appraisals in St. Louis and surrounding areas. We saw a need for professional, efficient sales and have strived to accomplish this goal. We have conducted sales throughout the entire St. Louis area. Over the years our hard work and professional approach has enabled us to build an excellent reputation within our industry.
Connie has owned and operated an antique shop for 39 years and started doing estate sales 22 years ago working with several other companies while gaining experience. She started her own company in 1990 and was later joined by Barbara.
Barbara started as a collector in 1968 and has worked in several antique shops since 1976. She further developed her expertise in furniture working for Interior Designer Gary Mauger. In 1978, she partnered with Maugerite Conger to handle estate sales for Ingles Ltd. Upon Maugerite’s passing, she joined with Connie in what has become a strong and successful business partnership.
