We’re committed to providing a smooth, safe, and enjoyable shopping experience at all our estate sales. Please read through the following frequently asked questions and guidelines before attending.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept checks?
We accept all major credit cards. However, we do not accept checks under any circumstances.
What are “Street Numbers”?
We use a self-managed street number system to organize entry at the start of the sale. Here’s how it works:
The first person to arrive at the sale creates a list and assigns themselves number one.
That individual becomes responsible for handing out numbers to others who arrive.
They must remain on-site to manage the list until the doors open.
All other shoppers may leave and return just before the sale opens.
We open promptly at 10:00 AM, and entry is granted in numerical order.
Please note: Aaron’s Estate Sales is not responsible for managing or enforcing this list system. It is upheld by the honor of our shoppers.
Do you allow previews or pre-sales?
We do not allow public previews or pre-sales. All items approved by the client for sale are made available to the public at the official opening time on a first-come, first-served basis.
However, we offer exclusive early access through our VIP Program, which gives members the opportunity to shop the sale before it opens to the general public. This program is designed for our most loyal shoppers and collectors who want priority access to high-demand items.

What is your refund policy?
We offer same-day, same-sale refunds for items that are found to be non-functional, provided the buyer presents a receipt.
We do not issue refunds under the following conditions:
Buyer changes their mind.
Item is functional and in the condition described.
If the sales manager is unable to assist with a refund on-site due to circumstances outside their control, they will refer you to our office in Ferndale for further assistance. You may contact the office at 248-915-8888.
How do I pick up large items I’ve purchased?
We typically have staff on-site who can assist with loading items into your vehicle. If you need to return during sale hours to pick up an item, we will issue you a receipt to present upon return.
Please note: We do not offer delivery services.

Begin 2026 with New Year’s 2026, presented by Block Auction House — a live, online-only, one-day auction commencing Thursday, January 1, 2026 at 12:00 PM (EST).
The catalog features 432 lots, sourced from estates and private collections, and offers an eclectic range of jewelry, fine and decorative art, crystal, furniture, textiles, and curated objects spanning multiple styles and periods.
Notable fine-jewelry offerings include a platinum diamond engagement ring and matching wedding band centered by a 1.50 ct princess-cut diamond (G/VS2) with 0.77 ct of additional diamonds (Lot 295), as well as a 14K yellow gold diamond ring accompanied by documentation and an appraisal letter (Lot 267).
The auction also includes important decorative and fine art highlights, such as Herbert Gustave Schmalz’s “Nita” (1900) — an oil-on-panel portrait in an ornate gilt frame — alongside a selection of framed works and paintings including Alexander de Andreis’ “Cavalier in Red” (1925) and George Goodwin Kilburne’s “Sunday Evening.”
Collectors of statement décor and special objects will find substantial presentation pieces, including an extra-large signed Murano glass Pegasus sculpture mounted on a chrome base (noted as approximately 30.75 inches tall), as well as framed Qing Dynasty blue silk embroidery featuring dragons and gilt wan symbols, and a Chinese embroidered silk phoenix panel presented under protective glass.
For bidders seeking distinctive “conversation pieces” at approachable opening bids, early lots include a signed studio pottery textured bowl with a red-glaze interior gradient, three bone-and-metal inlaid boxes with hinged lids (including examples marked as handmade), a carved resin vase with dragon and floral motifs, a signed R. Cherito Zuni “Stargazer” stone carving, and a signed mixed-media wall sculpture incorporating stone, metal, and iridescent fused glass.
Additional accessible lots include collectible tableware such as Spode “The Cabinet Collection” octagonal plates and a Royal Doulton “Miramount” tea set, plus curiosities like a fossilized fish vertebra specimen and a Korczak Ziolkowski “Crazy Horse Memorial” scale model on a granite base.
Bidding begins January 1, 2026 at 12:00 PM (EST). Shipping and local pickup options are available per auction terms (shipping arranged post-sale; local pickup by appointment at the Ferndale facility).
