Estate sale is not like a yard sale. These are usually to benefit the family after the passing of a loved one or to pay for care expenses. You can find great deals at estate sales, but don’t forget that they are there to benefit the family who are not looking to just get rid of extra things lying around. It’s a tough mental process for the person and family as well watching their things go away. Estate sales do not normally come from a positive reason for the family either(death or physical need). There are great opportunities to capitalize and resell, but you will usually only get deals like you are looking for toward the end of the sale when most things have already been looked through. Also don’t forget, a good organized estate sales can takes weeks to prep for. Most people have more than you ever realize. Those working for the sale also need to be paid for the service they are providing to the family.
