We receive many inquiries regarding the best time of year to conduct an estate sale. Most people assume that it is Spring or Summer since people tend to be "out and about" more often. Although the weather might be more delightful, your competition is definitely intense!
Spring and Summer months are the most popular time for people to host their garage sales, particularly if there is an estate sale happening in their neighborhood. Enterprising minds like to piggy back on the advertising efforts of the estate liquidation company. Is that good for business? It is for those having a garage sale. But it's not good for gross sales of your estate. Why? Customers will plan their route from sale to sale. The thrill of the hunt for something special is almost an addiction. The same customers will go from estate sale to estate sale and garage sale to garage sale. They will keep their wallets closed more often than not, just in case they find a "better treasure" at the next sale. We recommend that you avoid the competition to improve the chances of earning top dollar for all of your items.
Simple living is good for your wallet. While estate sales or consigning your "mistakes" won't make you rich, it will provide a welcome rebate on purchases that turned out to be not so perfect for you. And, of course, that money can be joyfully re-spent in the shop on something that is just the thing!
Recycling is good for the environment.
