People are educated for their belongings and want the top dollar for their antiques and items. The estate sale person should be working for owners to make top dollar for their prized collections. When people come in with no respect, and think of people who owned these items, and to even steal from people now that is the person I would find an issue with.

I...There is definitely something sketchy going on. I can't believe the $20 entry fee! That's ridiculous! I really don't know how they stay in business. I asked once what they did with everything that doesn't sell and was told that they "give it to charity." Seriously? Is that really the best lie they can come up with?Liv Svanoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062261133492402677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482141866434801256.post-17213493819455404242011-10-24T07:17:40.891-07:002011-10-24T07:17:40.891-07:00I just went to a Prestige estate sale in Tosa. It...I just went to a Prestige estate sale in Tosa. It was awful! Lots of antiques, what was priced was priced skyhigh. It looked like the guy running it priced 10% of the items, threw things on a couple tables, left other things in piles (ON THE FLOOR) and opened the doors. He was charging a $20 entry fee to get in the first day. We went on the third afternoon and he had SO MUCH STUFF left over I wonder if he had so much to sell or if no one was buying. <br /><br />My mom, who is an estate sale savy lady, thinks he runs such a bad shop on purpose, then offers to generously take the leftovers off the owners hands at a fraction of what it would have sold for. He was an a$$ to my mom who asked a simple question too. I will know to steer clear of this company.Sparclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345649725349807099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482141866434801256.post-27871553811379354732011-09-30T22:37:07.529-07:002011-09-30T22:37:07.529-07:00I say you rescued that Santa from soulless a-holes...I say you rescued that Santa from soulless a-holes.

Yo...You could return it to them at their next sale. You could say, "I'm sorry, I stole this a while ago from one of your sales, because your high prices make me so mad. This is the last time you'll see me, though, so don't worry." With this, you'll feel the catharsis of rectifying the wrong, and of letting them know their prices are ridiculous.Laura's Last Ditch Vintage Kitchenwares https://www.blogger.com/profile/06080705179607005052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482141866434801256.post-84403598645032497502011-09-30T10:18:58.379-07:002011-09-30T10:18:58.379-07:00i've always wanted to go to an estate sale but...i've always wanted to go to an estate sale but have never found the time. next time i drive past one i'm going in. no matter what!calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229226971691217376noreply@blogger.com
