TERMS: CASH only, No warranties, no guarantees, everything sold “As Is,” you must rely on your own personal inspection. Not responsible for accidents.

We don’t open early and we don’t issue numbers. You must provide your own moving labor and moving vehicles to move your purchases safely out of the home and off of the property. Please be respectful of where you park so as to not block mailboxes. Don’t park in front of or near the silver mailbox group which is right in front of the home, the police actively issue tickets.

Restroom Facilities.
IF there is extreme impassable weather, I will post on this estatesales.net web site, early Thursday morning 12/30/2010 should this estate sale be postponed & rescheduled for a later date & it will be announced on the message by calling 219-763-3741 But, let me warn you, it will need to be extreme weather for me not to make it to this estate home.

Hint: IF you want to wheel & deal with us on pricing, come to the estate home AFTER 2:30 P.M., 12/30/2010

Cats Need Good Loving Home(s) -- One calico color, fixed female cat, 2 years old, 1  grey long-hair fixed male, 4 months old, needs your attention and a good loving warm home.  The commitment is for the cat's lifetime.  Call or Email.

Directions: If you don’t have I-Pass there is a 30 cent toll at Halsted exit. There is no attendant here, so have exact change. Coming from the east from Indiana using the westbound Interstate-80, the cash lane is the center lane of 3 lanes. You will then immediately take a quick right, to exit north for Halsted. Watch out that you don’t get clocked by speedy I-Pass users who are driving the right hand I-Pass lane. (They would rather run over you, than slow down for you.)
go 1 mile north on Halsted to the traffic light for 163rd St. by Dunkin Donuts, left (west) onto 163rd, the estate home is 3 blocks, 3 stop signs down on your left (south) at the southwest corner of 163rd & Finch Ave.

Note: For those of you who are using GPS or mapquest type of systems, some GPS systems misdirect, as Halsted is a border street between cities, on its east side is South Holland & its west side is Harvey.  163rd St. is named Taft St. on the South Holland side.

Looking for bulk buyers -- I am looking for a reliable person or person(s) who is actively interested in coming into the estates I get, after the sale is over, and purchase all remaining items (at a very reasonable price to you the buyer), remove and clear out ALL remaining unsold items from the home, basement and garage. OR, bonafide not-for-profit donation outlets, who will come in, box up & take out ALL unsold items from my estates from clothing to lumber to decent collectibles. I am not looking for cherry-pickers, I am not looking for scrap metalers. I want somebody who will take ALL leftovers. Email me or better yet call me at 219-763-3741, if you are genuinely interested and can do this physical labor.
