about us

At Found Stuff, we specialize in estate sales, moving sales, liquidations, consignment and online auction sales. Our credentials include access to Certified Appraisers designation from the Certified Appraisers Guild of America. With years of experience in the antique and appraisal professions, we offer real world value appraisals and professional estate liquidation services.

The original Founder of Found Stuff Estate Sales and Appraisals, Robin Caton, was a full time antique dealer and certified appraiser since 1988. Her years of experience have given her a broad knowledge base of art, antiques, jewelry and collectibles. Robin grew up in the antique business, where she learned from her parents and grandparents, who owned antique shops in Oregon. Robin has personally owned several antique shops over the years including a 44,000 square feet antique gallery. Appraisals, antiques and estate/moving sales are her full-time business. Robin passed away in August of 2024. I have mentored by my sister side for 35+ years and will carry on with Foundstuff estate sales in her honor.

Our Services

Certified appraisals

Only full-time, certified professionals can accurately provide real world values for your items.

Professional Estate/Moving Sales

Our team has years of experience and can get you top dollar for your items. We handle everything from beginning to end, including sorting, pricing, merchandising, advertising and conducting the sale. There are no up front fees and no hidden costs. Fees are based on a sliding scale, decreasing as total sales volume increases. We never buy at our sales; it's not ethical for us to price it and then buy it. For accountability, after the sale we provide you with a detailed computer generated report listing every item sold and how much it brought.

Online Auction Sales

Since 1996 our team has sold over 10,000 items on eBay and has been awarded the designation, eBay Power Seller.

Consignment Sales

In addition to eBay, the Found Stuff team sells at five or more antique shows each year, giving consigned merchandise maximum exposure for maximum return.

Found Stuff has a long history of satisfied clients and customers. References are available upon request. Found Stuff is honored to be listed on the Oregon Bar Association website as a preferred estate sale company.

Estate Sale Rates:

Found Stuff utilizes a sliding commission rate based on gross proceeds from the sale. The more we sell for you - the less you pay us! There are no additional charges.

🏡 WEST SLOPE ESTATE SALE — A FAMILY HOME SINCE 1922! 🏡

Sale is postponed until Tuesday when the sun is back out once again! 😀

This West Slope home has been loved by the same family since 1922, and Grandma and Grandpa’s love of collecting is on full display! This house is packed from top to bottom with treasures that have been collected and accumulated over many, many years.

✨ Be prepared to get a little dusty & crusty! ✨
Some of these treasures have been tucked away for decades, so this is definitely a digger’s dream treasure hunt!

🚨 A FEW IMPORTANT HOUSE RULES 🚨

Due to tight quarters, poor lighting in some areas, and the sheer amount of stuff in this home, we will be limiting the house to 15 shoppers at a time.

🛍️ Shopping bags:
We will provide clear shopping bags for you to use while shopping.

Please LEAVE YOUR OWN SHOPPING BAGS, TOTES, BACKPACKS, OVERSIZED COATS/CLOTHING BAGS, AND LARGE PURSES IN YOUR CAR.

Only a small pouchette/wallet-sized purse will be allowed inside. Larger bags will need to be left at checkout or taken back to your vehicle — NO EXCEPTIONS.

We will have plastic bags, paper bags, tissue and a limited number of cardboard boxes available to help get your purchases home.

🪑 BUYING LARGE ITEMS?

Please buy according to your ability to load!

You are responsible for providing your own help to load furniture and other large or heavy purchases. Our crew cannot be responsible for loading your purchases.
