Life-Long Marietta (Indian Hills) Antiques Collector Finally Gives it Up!

This weekend, we'll be ready to throw open the doors on another of our infamous estate sales, this time in Marietta's Indian Hills Golf Course community. Infamous, you ask? Yes, we're the only estate sale company in town with a certified sense of humor, a 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!

The home of Roger & Helen Bourg (where they lived since 1980) is being sold, as they have transitioned to the great antique market in the sky. OMG is all I can say about the contents of this house, owned by a antiques collectors - they collected everything! There is a lot of Victorian, but good Victorian, a 1959 wooden boat, GREAT art, unusual Gone with the Wind lamp collection, chairs-a-go-go, mahogany beds, brass beds, cookie jars, pianos, rugs - LAWD!

This house is stuffed with furniture (some good antiques), dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, den, living room and four upstairs bedrooms. The house is completely full of everything you need and a few things you don't want. 

The owners will soon have the house on the market, so they want us to hurry up and finish our sale, so they can sell the house!

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. 

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. 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.
