Terms

***ENTRY: To prevent excess wear and tear and/or damage to the residence, a maximum of 20 people will be permitted inside at any given time. As people exit, the capacity will be kept at that amount, and usually waiting time is minimal. ENTRY NUMBERS: A sign in list will be posted on the front door of the premises at 8AM! Directions will be printed on the list, and we expect you will behave in a fair and dignified manner with regard to the self regulating nature of this process. If you are not present when your name is called, you will be bumped to the back of the line.

***PARKING: Roadside parking only. Driveway reserved for large item pick up. Please park safely and legally at all times. Principal Estate Sales is not responsible for any accidents, damage, fines, tickets, theft, injury or any other mishap that can occur as a result of parking on a public street. Neither is the homeowner. Please be respectful of neighbors.

***PAYMENT for items may be made via cash or credit card. An additional 3% convenience fee will be added to credit card purchases, and proper ID is required in addition to signing a statement regarding chargebacks. *All credit card purchases are final, and all items are sold as is.

***ALL SALES FINAL. ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS. WE DO NOT ISSUE REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES.

***BRING HELP TO LOAD ITEMS. We do not offer moving services for large items. We do, however, have a reasonably priced company we can refer you to - ask us for their card! All items must be removed by 4pm Sunday, unless other arrangements are made PRIOR to purchase.

***BE RESPECTFUL, COURTEOUS, USE COMMON SENSE. ANY VIOLATION WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL. Principal Estate Sales, nor the homeowner, is not liable for any falls, injuries, and/or accidents incurred on premises.

***OFFER BOX: Take note of our offer box, which will be stationed near the entrance/exit. You may leave an offer on any item. PLEASE NOTE: An offer is a legally binding contract.

***HOLDING STATION: If you start a pile, you are required to purchase EVERY item in it. Your pile is ALL OR NOTHING. It is unfair to other customers, and our clients, if you pull an item from the sale, only to put it back - we have then missed multiple opportunities to sell it.

***CHILDREN must be DIRECTLY supervised at all times. No exceptions. The risk of them being hurt is too great. Any unsupervised children and their guardian will be immediately escorted off premises.

Even when you see this sale first hand, it’s hard to believe.  The sheer quantity of items is something to behold, so much so that Matt said to me “I can’t wait to see the look on people’s faces when they see this”.  It’s true - we’re all looking forward to the reaction! It’s not just quantity, though. This stuff was loved...cared for by someone who truly appreciated it, and most of it is quality.  You can tell the owner was an educated romantic, of sorts. The jaw-dropping library suggests someone who constantly pushed the envelope of knowledge, and yet did not become jaded by our world as is so easy to do, but instead found the beauty in it, and sought to surround herself with that beauty in every way she could.  

 

Here’s the details:  Saturday, October 13:  9am - 4pm; Sunday, October 14:  10am - 4pm. SIGN IN LIST WILL BE POSTED AT 8AM SHARP ON SATURDAY.  The full address will update on all advertisements on Friday, October 12.
