Terms of Sale
Our terms of sale are very simple:

Description & Details

One might ask, why do we refer to ourselves as the Beanie People?

We're the only estate sale company in Atlanta, 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. 

Hmm, what to do on Memorial Day weekend when gas prices and inflation got you down? How about attending one of our epic estate sales? We'll certainly make it worth your while! The house goes on the market as soon as the house is cleared of treasure, so hurry up and bring your juke box money! 
Please feel free to check this listing frequently, as we will continually update and add pictures/descriptions as the sale morphs and unfolds.  

This house is stuffed with excellent furniture brands, Persian rugs, mirrors, good artwork,  including dining room, kitchen, den, living room, office, two bedrooms, front porch, garage and special treasures -  LOT'S of smalls!

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.   

We LOVE what we do and most of our customers. Please realize that we don't tolerate theft of any kind at our sales. If you want to steal from estate sales, please realize that you need to visit another sale, not ours.

We have zero tolerance for theft at our sales and will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law - no questions!

Terms and Conditions: 

  • WE ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OVER THE PHONE REGARDING SPECIFIC ITEMS AT EACH ESTATE SALE SUCH AS PRICE, SIZE OR AVAILABILITY. 
  • Cash & Checks accepted with proper ID. NSF checks will be charged a $35 fee. For purchases over $25, Credit/Debit cards are accepted.
    All purchases made AS IS, WHERE IS with NO WARRANTY, NO GUARANTEE, NO REFUNDS & NO EXCHANGES.

Please do not block neighbors when you park. A Southern Spirit Estate Sales & the owners ARE NOT responsible for any accidents or injuries while on property.

"Born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in 1969, Sergey started studying art as a young child.  At the age of 3, he developed meningitis and became paralyzed, unable to walk or speak for several years.  Attending a School for children with disabilities until he was 7, he found comfort in painting.
Later, he went on to attend college at the prestigious Serovo Art Institute.  Filled with wanderlust and dreams of what he could accomplish, in early 1991 Sergey made the decision to come to America to find the artistic freedom he desperately desired.  Not able to speak a word of English, Sergey got a job cleaning bathrooms and collecting trash at the IRS building, making $150 a week, and painting in his spare time.
One day, Sergey showed some of his work to his manager, who became excited by what he saw.
