Beanie People Are Having Fun on Braffington Court, in Dunwoody!

Today, Saturday, July 25th,  is the final day of our Braffington Court sale, in Dunwoody. The prices will be 50% off, unless marked "Firm".                                                                                                                                                                                                                        To save you the trouble, we aren't one of those "bundling" estate sale people, nor do we sell anything for less than 50% off the original price.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Thanks!

Just so you know, we will be limiting the number of customers in the house to 15 at a time and masks will be required to enter the home. We will provide hand sanitizer, as you enter the front door.

Please be considerate and provide ample distance between yourself and others. Anyone with respiratory illness, fever or symptoms of any kind must not enter. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

This weekend, July 23-25,  the "Beanie People" will open the doors to another of our infamous estate sales.  Infamous, you ask?
Yes, 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. 

This is an authentic, living estate sale for lovely Luba, in one of her four houses that she loved for decades. This house is nestled in a great location, in Dunwoody, right off of Dunwoody Club Drive. Everything in the house is for sale, but we have to move with the quickness, as the house has an aggressive agent, just itchin' to place this house on the market.

This is a non-smoking home and very well appointed. She and her husband traveled for years. They LOVED to gallivant and collect treasures from various worldly places, so there is something here to interest almost anyone. The property has been lovingly taken care of, with no children or animals, SO that means everything in this house is clean and tidy, with no odd smells, rodent calling cards, baby goo on the upholstery, no furniture used as cat scratching posts!     

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. 
This house is stuffed with beautiful furniture, some excellent French/European antiques, Persian rugs, Asian porcelains, mirrors, china, sterling silver, good artwork and chandeliers; including dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, living room, den, library, three bedrooms, 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.
