Estate sales are essentially a fancier version of a yard sale or a garage sale. However, there are still a few key differences that make the buying experience a lot more pleasant and profitable for the buyers.

Estate sales are usually a sign that someone has passed away, and the family or other party has decided to sell everything inside the house. So if you ever stumble upon one, you shouldn’t miss out on this opportunity.

Because the majority of estate sales are held in the homes of people that are older, it means that you have a really high chance of finding some excellent antiques and other valuable pieces.

The best thing to do is familiarize yourself with certain styles of company’s like Wedgwood and look underneath items to see if they have stamps that mark them as China or have the label of the company.

The other great thing about an estate sale is that usually lasts longer than a garage sale, and it’s also mostly inside a home which makes the perusing a lot more comfortable, especially in summer.

Also, since everything, including furniture, is where it’s meant to be, you can get a much better idea of how everything will look in your own home.
