Beanie People Host an Uncommon Full House Estate Sale, on Collier Commons Way - Yes Way!

This weekend, the "Beanie People" will be ready to throw open the doors on another of our infamous estate sales. Infamous, you ask? Yes, we're the only estate sale company in town where the employees wear propeller beanie hats, have a certified sense of humor and state-of-the-art check-out system (designed by a GA Tech brainiac) so that most of the items are barcoded. You won't have to stand in line forever, while an invoice is hand written by a fossil, like me! Sic transit gloria mundi. 

This is an authentic estate sale in a home owned by one of Atlanta's well-known TV personalities who loved to dress well and look like a million bucks! This diva knows how to turn heads and the (several!) racks of clothing, accessories, scarves, bags, coats (including furs) belts, hats, shoes - oh and wait, there are over 300 pairs of shoes in this sale, attest to that fact !!                                                      The shoes are mostly size 8, with a few size 10's and the clothing ranges in size from 2 - 12, heavier on the smaller sizes. 

This is a non-smoking home and one of the cleanest sales I've had in a while, SO that means everything in this house is quite tidy, with no funky smells, rodent calling cards, baby goo on the upholstery, no furniture used as cat scratching posts or dog skid marks on the rugs - wait until you see the gorgeous Persian & Turkish rugs in this house!     

This house is stuffed with beautiful furniture from all of her travels, including some good antiques, Persian rugs, mirrors, china,  (ton's of) artwork, Swarovski chandelier, including dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, living room, den, office, three bedrooms, outside furniture, garage and special treasures - LOT'S of smalls!

The owner loves her privacy, so there's no name dropping allowed. She recently retired, at a tender young age, to move overseas and work with humanitarian efforts - a ray of sunshine and a pleasure to work with!                          

I recently received the signed contract to conduct this sale, so please feel free to check this listing frequently, as we will continually update and add pictures/descriptions as the sale morphs and unfolds. 

Do you enjoy estate sales? How about scrunging at yard/garage/thrift stores? Please realize that there is a huge difference between authentic estate sales and the other venues to get your fix. I personally love to dig through any type of sale (hence my Ph. D in shopping) to find a hidden treasure that just "speaks" to me.

Just a word to let you know that estate sales are a real business. Surprising, huh? Please realize that we are a contracted company, whose job is to sell the contents of someone's home. Occasionally we'll have some items included in our sales that are on consignment. When tempted to ask "Can you do better on the price?" - sure, we can double it!  ;-)

Seriously, we do a lot of behind the scenes work to prepare a property for a sale. We price, clean, stage, move, hang, repeat, so that your shopping experience can be fun and rewarding. Usually, after staging a house for our estate sales, I need a cigarette, a shot of whiskey, a Valium, a brown paper bag, a chamomile tea, a General Foods International Coffee, a shot of vodka, a bong hit, a slap upside the head, a mani-pedi, a pint of ice cream, and a long walk on the beach in soft focus.
All we ask in return is that you have fun, find some goodies and tell others about our sales.
