Moving and Estate Sales

Moving to another part of the country

• Moving to a smaller home
• Moving into a retirement setting
• Dealing with the death of a loved one
• Liquidating assets in a divorce situation

All of these settings can be stressful and all consuming. For many people, selling all or part of their property is part of the process. Handling these details should not cause more stress. Let us help you get the most for your estate and handle the sale of your items without the stress.

With standard estate sales, you have so many things you need:

• Time: - it will take a considerable amount of time to organize and host a successful sale
• Pricing knowledge: - a wide range of knowledge & research will be needed to price antiques, collectibles, and everyday household items
• Equipment & Supplies: - tables & table covers, chairs, display cases, lighting (for dimly lit rooms), dolly (for moving furniture), calculator, cash box, cash (for change), tax id forms (for antique dealers), packing material (newspaper, bags, and boxes), labels for pricing, receipt books, cleaning supplies, supplies for repairs and "touch-ups", poster board, markers, stakes, tape, stapler, and much more.
• Logistics: - placing ads, contacting antique dealers, finding the best times and days to hold the sale, city laws regarding sales, and displaying items for maximum visual appeal
• Staffing: - moving furniture, packing and unpacking boxes, arranging and pricing of items, sales people, security, money handlers
• Working the Sale - selling, negotiating with dealers, strangers, even neighbors and family
• Detachment - selling family heirlooms and memories can be very difficult.  You advise us on how much you think an item is worth, then we will research it for you to ascertain the very best we can expect for it.

Junk To Joy will take your items to our warehouse, professionally photograph them, research and list them, auction them and send you the check. You don't have to handle ANYTHING!

Just having a Garge Sale might only net you pennies on the dollar for your items. You have a much better chance of getting more for your items online.

Is every item a good fit for Junk To Joy!? The honest answer is, ‘no'. Items that are very common or very inexpensive sometimes do not do well online, but if you have your items listed in an estate setting, with all of your items visible, there is great opportunity to cross-sell an item that might not have sold as well alone.
