NO EARLY BIRDS


The ad wasn't completely professional, which was either good or bad.  Professional estate sale organizers tended to overprice, especially when "antiques, tools, jewelery and collectables" were singled out; however, private estate sales could be way overpriced if the person running the sale knew the original cost of the items.  I was leaning toward it being a good thing because the brand names of the items weren't listed.  Some sellers even listed original prices, and then the whole sale was useless to me.  Intriguing was, of course, the books and games, but also the fact there was an attic, basement and garage--those are the real deals.  People who put together estate sales tend to think the treasures are already on display, but I find them buried and dusty.  Even buyers shy away from dirt and mold, but not me.  I can't afford what they know is great; I have to find what they don't know.
