Q:  What services do you provide?
A:  Found Stuff handles your sale from the beginning to end.  Preparation includes sorting, pricing, merchandising, advertising, staffing and conducting the sale.

Q:  Why do I need an Estate Sale Service?

A:  Handling a loved one's estate or needing to liquidate your own personal assets can be a difficult and emotional task.  Our priority is to liquidate household contents as quickly and efficiently as possible.  When pricing, we consider all markets and other important factors to ensure optimal outcome for you.  Benefits of a professional sale include targeted advertising, signage, crowd control, staffing, security and having a qualified, certified appraiser with years of experience in the marketplace.


Q:  Who needs an Estate Sale Service?

A:  Individuals moving into a retirement or nursing home, estate executors, as well as those moving out of state or into a smaller residence need professional assistance with their estates.  We are also qualified to conduct Business Estate Sales for companies looking to liquidate their stores, hotels, warehouses or offices.


Q:  How large does my Estate have to be?

A:  In order for Found Stuff to be able to book an estate/moving sale, we typically need to determine that there is a minimum of $4,000 in saleable items.  We are very flexible and fair, and have made occasional exceptions.  You do not need to have a houseful of antiques in order for us to conduct a sale.  In past cases where there was not enough in an individual household, we simply combined several estates into a single successful sale.  Many of our customers are seeking items they can use in their everyday life.


Q:  Do you sell everything?

A:  Although no Estate Sale service can claim to sell 100% of the household, we typically sell between 80 - 95% of the items.  Items of value that do not sell can be placed on consignment for one of our antique shows or our online auctions.  Additionally, we can arrange to have remaining items picked up by a local charity for a tax deduction.
