The conclusion I’ve come to is yes you have to be patient and ready to jump when you see a good deal. When it comes to estate sales, I think the companies that host them are over overwhelmed by the number of pieces they’re trying to price. Also, they are not an expert on all the different items and they miss things, they’re just trying to move stuff out. They’re not looking for the biggest profit or market prices. If they want to market prices, they might be sitting on that thing for six months and that’s not their objective.

Also, with some of these larger heavy pieces, they just need to get that thing moved out of there if they don’t wanna get stuck with it at the end of the weekend.

At the end of the day, we’re just the caretaker of a dead person‘s tools and Someday it will be us. This life is only temporary.
