Included with our services are all the set-up, sorting, research, pricing, floor
workers the days of sale, town permits, local sign posting, website advertising and
photos on throughthedecades.com. At this time we do not include or offer any
housecleaning service or lawn/landscape upkeep or snow removal service. We
can arrange for donation pick-up of items not sold that are deemed acceptable
donations or we can arrange a clean out service to come at an additional charge.
Our fee is normally 30% of the monies collected from the personal property sold
at the estate sale. In most instances, we will need around 2 weeks of full prior
access for an estate sale to prepare and set up. Some larger estates will need
more time. We will supply folding tables and tablecloths where needed. When
needed we will use small display cases for smaller valuables.
The number of sale days vary from 2-4 days depending on the size of the estate.
On the days of the sale, we use a number system which limits the number of
shoppers within the house at once. Floor workers are present to help shoppers,
answer questions, and to generally just keep an open eye.
After the sale we would normally need up to 5 business days to process all monies
taken in from the sale. At that point, we deduct our fee and turn the rest of the
monies over to you.
Prior to even calling or making email inquiries about a sale, we ask that you do not
throw away or get rid of any unwanted items or items you may consider "junk".
Remember the old saying "one persons junk is another persons treasure"! We
find this to be very true in some cases!
We can simplify your time and worries! General steps would be:
Contact us
We do a walk through of the estate to view and talk with you to understand your
needs.
If we can help you with your needs, we select sale dates, sign a Through The
Decades Estate Sale contract.
You would then give us the key/full access to the house prior to the sale and we
begin our work!
