Octogenarian Sandy Springs Collector Relocates to Assisted Living

The scary weekend before Halloween, we'll 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 with a certified sense of humor and a state-of-the-art check-out system, designed by a GA Tech braniac, 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!

This house is stuffed with furniture (some good antiques), has three bedrooms, an downstairs office and den, man cave, dining room, kitchen, den, great room and breakfast room, so the house is completely full of everything you need and a few things you don't want.

The octogenarian gentleman lost his wife 6 years ago, so he and his family decided that assisted living was the life for him. He lived in this house for 50 years, traveled extensively, collected passionately and there is a lot to see in this house. Collectively, the items are very impressive and there is something for almost everyone. He wants us to hurry up and finish our sale, so they can list the house for sale. The real estate agents live across the street (Peter & Connie Davison, with Kelly Co. Homes). They can be reached in advance at 404-786-6808.

I recently received the signed contract for the 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. 

The relatives have opened their house to us and to you, as our guests. The children have full houses and didn't take much with them and I think they left the best for us to play with.  

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 someones home. We do not personally own any of the items available at a sale. 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. All we ask in return is that you have fun, find some goodies and tell others about our sales.
