WONDERFUL ESTATE SALE - LINDA SHOGREN ANTIQUES

Terms

For those of you who have never attended an estate/tag sale, here are a few things you need to know.
First, this is an in the home tag sale -in other words - everything in the house is tagged and priced. This is not an auction. When you enter the home, you are free to purchase any and everything in the home at the price shown on each of the items. Every item in the home will be priced. There is no haggling on prices.

The sale will start at 8:30 am. A sign up sheet will be posted at the front door the morning of the sale. When you arrive, sign the sheet on the door and stay on the premises until numbers for entry are given out at 8:00 am. If you sign the sign-up sheet - regardless of WHEN you signed it, you are obligated to stay on the premises until the door opens for the sale. If you sign and leave, your name will be removed from the list and you will have to re-sign once you return. No exceptions! Please sign your name only - do not sign for family members or friends who have yet to arrive at the sale.

We accept the following means of payment: Cash, Checks (with two forms of identification), and charge cards. A 3% fee will be added to all purchases made with a charge card. All checks must have the following information: phone numbers of home, cell and place of business, current address and driver's license number. NO other checks will be accepted. There will be a $50.00 check fee for all returned checks - regardless of reason. Those returned checks not made good within a 7 days period from notification, will be turned over to the Attorney Generals office and signs showing your returned check will be posted at all future sales until said check is paid in full.

SOLD STICKERS: Customers are welcome to use their own sold stickers. Should you not have your own sold stickers, there will be a worker in each of the rooms to mark items you wish to purchase. Please place your name and phone number on each of your sold stickers. Sold stickers without that information will not be honored. If a sold sticker appears on an item and we cannot identity the owners within a few minutes, we will remove the sticker and the item returns to the active sale. Make sure you want to purchase an item prior to marking it. If you mark something sold, it is yours! There will be no removing sold stickers once they are placed on an item! If you have questions, please see one of the workers.

Early sales: There are NO early sales and NO previews of the sale. Pictures and descriptions are on the web and should you have a question, please feel free to contact me via the website to answer any questions you might have concerning a particular piece.

Making an Offer: This is important! Every item at our sales are full price the first day. Second day of the sale - everything is half of it's original price -(unless certain pieces instructed by the host family are not to be reduced). In order to give everyone a chance at purchasing a particular piece, we offer a process where the customer is able to offer - on the first day of the sale - his or her price on a particular item via a written/sealed offer. We are not obligated to accept your offer and we ask that you leave a legitimate offer on the item you are interested in. The offers made have to be at least 60% of our initial asking price. All others will be discarded. At the close of the first day of the sale, I will review all offers and call those persons whose offers we have accepted. Rest assured: each and every offer submitted to me is sealed and seen by no one until the end of the day when I pull each to see who made the highest offer on a particular item. Once I determine the highest offer and accepted that offer, the customer will be contacted no later than 7:00 pm the first night of the sale. The person whose offer has been accepted must return to the sale the following morning no later than 10:00 am to pay for their purchase. All offers presented by the customer are confidential and will not be revealed to others who are considering making an offer.

We will have people available to help you load larger items but please remember: they work for tips! Please do not ask them to help you if you aren't willing to offer them a monetary tip in appreciation for their help.

FINALLY: We are not responsible for accidents- nor is the home owner. Please enter the sale at your own risk - paying attention to the caution signs posted all around the home.

I am open to all inquiries as to price, location, size etc on any particular items in the sale. If you wish further information, please feel free to email me via this website and I will be happy to respond to you. Please note: the last time I will be monitoring this website will be the night before the sale. I will not see or be able to respond to your emails the morning of the sale. I prefer you request additional information through this website and not call me on my cell phone. Thank you for your understanding!
