Oklahoma Estate Sales |
|
Estate sales in Oklahoma City and surrounding areas |
|
Estate sale services are available in Oklahoma City and the areas
in roughly a 20 mile radius. Exceptions can be made for
certain situations. Estate sales are promoted locally
in various publications as well as online, with photos of the estate
items included. The sale will be organized in a attractive manner. Linens are washed and folded, items
are cleaned and polished.
Display tables are covered in crisp white tablecloths and
similar items are grouped together. The display areas are set
up for appropriate crowd flow and security.

Online Sales of Estate Items |
|
|
|
Items will be researched and, in additional to the local estate sale,
small collectible items that can be safely shipped will be offered online and/or
auctioned on eBay
for maximum profits. Great care
is taken to create very professional eBay auctions including
cleaning, photographing and presenting the items in an appealing fashion. Multiple auctions
are held together in a themed manner and an original auction template
based on your estate items will be designed. Photographs are
taken using professional photography equipment.
This
attention to detail makes a difference in auction results.
For example, a collection of Fenton Glass was auctioned on eBay and
despite the items being neither vintage or rare, with identical
pieces often on eBay -- even at the time of these auctions -- the
lot received higher ending bids than the identical items. The
presentation was attractive, photos were clear, descriptions
were detailed, a refund policy was offered, and multiple auctions
generated hits from one to the other. Click the image above to

50% commission minus

The cost is a
50% commission of the gross total sales after any eBay and Paypal
fees and shipping costs are deducted. The costs for permits, packing material, cleaning supplies and all other expenses will be paid by Sophie's Cottage, with
the exception of hauling away large unsold items if charitable
organizations won't accept them and it's not possible to leave it
out for "Big Trash Day." Estate sales are appropriate for
anyone due to downsizing, moving, divorce, bankruptcy or death.
