Terms of Sale
Our terms of sale are very simple:

Description & Details

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. Who doesn't like a little April mayhem in Marietta?!?

This is an authentic estate sale in a time-capsule of a townhome. One of Marietta's famous local celebrity Glover family members, Miss Prilla (the great, great granddaughter of Marietta's first mayor, John Heyward Glover, Jr.) lived here for decades and had several family treasures funneled her direction. Don't fret, she's doing well, just moved to a much more manageable senior living facility. 

John Heyward Glover, Jr. moved to Marietta from Charleston, SC in 1847.  He became Marietta’s first mayor and both his homes that he built are still standing.  Descendants own much of the furniture that came over from Charleston, much of it in this sale.

 The Fenwick Hall table was purchased by a descendant because there is a family connection to Fenwick Hall on Johns Island as a collateral branch of the Glover family settled on Johns Island in 1865, and a Glover family member married into the Fenwick family.

This is a non-smoking home that has been lovingly taken care of, SO that means everything in this house is very clean and tidy, no baby goo on chairs or couches, no furniture used as cat scratching posts and no dog skid marks on the rugs.                                 

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. This house is stuffed with furniture some excellent antiques, rugs, mirrors, china, sterling (flatware & holloware) artwork, including dining room, kitchen, living room, sunroom, three bedrooms, basement, garage and special treasures - LOT'S of smalls!

I live in town, but conduct quite a few estate sales in the Marietta area. There are some good restaurants in the area and one in particular has become a favorite, the La Cubana, located at 45 South Marietta Parkway. I like this place, due to the fact that the Hernandez family provides excellent customer service and wonderful, freshly prepared food. SO. The first ten customers who make purchases at this sale will receive a free gift certificate to La Cubana. This is a good sale and Cuban food will make it even better!

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.
