Suggestions And Ideas For Attending Estate Sales

By Freida Michael


You really love shopping for great quality, used articles and love to attend events that will provide you with exactly that. Estate sales in the town of San Ramon, CA, will have just what you are looking for and more. The interesting and unique items will continue to provide new owners with many more years of enjoyment.

Following some simple and basic rules will give you much more success during your excursion. They will save you money, time and stress and will help you find that perfect item for your home.

The first tip to follow is to be sure to arrive early on the morning of the event. Arrive about 15 or 20 minutes before the doors open. Sometimes the venue will allow customers in early but if they don't, allow the individuals to continue to get things ready and just wait patiently. Most of the time, if a person is not at one of these events early on opening day, it may not be really worth coming at all as most of the quality items and bargains will be snatched up right away.

If the event goes for more than one day, it may be to your benefit to arrive the next morning also. Often items are added to the function between the first and second day from other locations. The items offered are not always just the belongings of the previous homeowner but could also be pulled from the inventory from the business that is actually putting on the event. The last day and last hour of the sale can also be very lucrative. At this time, the company is not going to want to pack everything up and may drop the pricing dramatically just so they do not have to move and store the items.

Make a point to dress comfortably and wear sturdy, sensible shoes. Rubber gloves are a good idea if you are going to be searching through outdoor items that may have been left in the elements or have been in storage for a long time.

If there is an ad for the event, be sure to peruse it for items that you are searching for. If there are specific things that you are interested in, don't waste time in looking through other goods before locating what you are interested in. Someone else may get to it first, so be sure to make a beeline for it as soon as you can.

If you are interested in larger goods, have transport arranged in advance. You will only have a small window of opportunity to remove purchases from the area so it is best to be prepared. Ask friends or family who own a truck for assistance with this. If you don't have access to a truck or trailer, be sure to have a rental on standby.

Attending this type of event can be very fruitful and enjoyable. Gather a group of friends or family and make it a pleasant outing. Over time, your home will become a showplace of vintage and unusual items that everyone will comment on. You will have pleasant and comfortable surrounding that you will be able to relax with and enjoy for many years.
