Cool & Unusual Auctions

An estate sale is the ultimate treasure hunt. The estate itself is like a museum of a person's life, the exhibits featuring the individual's most treasured objects. Visit an estate sale and you might find a vast collection of cookie jars, a souvenir felt pennant from Las Vegas, an Edsel hood ornament, Pyrex nesting mixing bowls or Fibrella patio chairs. Estate sales of the past tended to be run at the owner's home as a live auction or tag sale.

​

Today, many sales are offered online by professional estate and auctioneering services. This development affords greater, safer, more convenient access to more buyers. In addition to estates, these service providers also tend to handle business liquidations, retail overstocks and returns, government property, salvaged goods and more.
