I went to an estate sale this morning that was run by Treasure Chest Estate Sales. I love estate…read moresales, but it seems like when they're directed by companies rather than individuals, the quality decreases. PROS: The company seems to run very professionally and is attentive to Covid guidelines. They only allowed a few people in at a time, masks required, good signage, out front, etc. CONS: Most things were not priced to sell so much as they were priced for profit. Also, a staff member was with you in every room kind of hovering (if they weren't initially in the room, they followed you into the room). As a customer, this felt awkward and uncomfortable.

It was my first experience with Treasure Chest Estate Sales and I can say it was one of the best…read moreexperiences ever. Amazing at everything starting with the beautiful, polite, and professional staff. Their team member was in every room and when I had a question regarding the stuff they were selling, I was getting a detailed description of an item. The staging was professional and very organized. The prices were reasonable, all the items were priced with clear price tags, just some of them were missing the tags, but team members who were working in every room were very helpful in providing prices and descriptions of an item. The company offers moving services for purchased items and it was very helpful for me when they delivered a piece of furniture that I bought. They were very professional with Covid guidelines. Taking temperatures to every attendee, providing sanitizers, gloves, masks, and shoe covers. All was just perfect!

Robert appears to have been the ringleader at this sale, he was very generous with his valuable time while sharing with me his expert knowledge referring to the specific vintage and condition of two pieces of furniture. He gave us a free education regarding the importance of dovetailing on dresser drawers. Robert noticed my aunt and carrying the two bulky and heavy pieces to our car and he promptly instructed an assistant to carry these heavy items to our car (we've been to sales before, no one EVER HELPS to load your purchases) his kind gesture was appreciated. We will welcome the opportunity to again shop at one of his sales in the future, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone I know in need of such services, Robert is capable, caring, and attentive! Thank you Robert for your sincere concern and professionalism. Mari

I'm only putting this review up for one reason and it's not to discourage any potential clients…read morefrom hiring this person or her company. It's for any customers who might decide to attend one of her sales to buy something - this was my experience. This company had a two day sale in Manville, NJ starting on Friday. I live in Brick and I wanted to come because of the large DVD collection that was available. So, because of my work schedule, I took a few hours of paid time off and I drove to Manville early & arrived at the house at about 9:25am. It was about a 90 minute drive due to traffic and heavy construction on the route I took. The sale didn't start until 2pm so I put my name on the list and I was 3rd. I drove around for a bit and came back around noon and waited at the house till the sale started. When we were waiting at the top of the stairs, the lady in charge laid out some ground rules such as cash only, a certain part of the DVD collection was not to be separated, etc. As mentioned, I was third so she let the first 10 in and it was a lot of rushing to the shelving units and tables. It was hectic at the start and I understood that it was probably difficult to handle. After a few minutes, she was telling everybody who had a bag to stop filling it, they were done, they needed to pay and then leave so she could keep the line going. I had managed to get most of what I was looking for but it was difficult to check everything since I saw more that I possibly wanted. When she asked me for my bag, I gave it to her and I tried to take a quick glance but I knew I needed more time. So I asked her to tell me how much I had so far. She said it was $250 and I said okay, let me just take a quick second look for more and then I'll be done. She raised her voice and said with hands in the air, "SIR, SIR - no more. You need to pay for these now because I have to get my customers in - these are my customers" as she was gesturing towards the door. I stood there in disbelief because I thought I was a customer and I asked, "So, I can't just take another quick look - I didn't even get to look at the 2nd table." Again raised her voice and hands in the air, "SIR, SIR, - this is it. Take it or leave it but I got to let more of my customers in sir." The people waiting at the open front door seemed to be surprised too so I said, "Are you serious - I can't even take another look or buy more?" She said again with a raised voice, "No, that's it - take it or leave it. If you don't want what's here - you can leave it." So, I said calmly, "All right, I won't buy anything" so I picked up my bag and poured what was in it onto the couch. She just nodded her head as I said kind of under my breath, "I can't believe this, completely wasted my time - never coming back to another sale of hers." As I was stepping out, she tried to call out "SIR, SIR!" and I just said walking out the door, "Nope, I'm out" and I hurried down the crowded stairs. I walked to where my car was and I ran into a couple people who were in the first group too and they had it happen to them as well. I then checked the time on my phone and it said 2:07pm. So, literally, I as well as others, were only allowed in that house for a little over 5 minutes. That was not enough time for anybody who wanted to buy things unless you knew exactly what you wanted. At one point when I was talking to these other guys, there were a couple other guys trying to go up the stairs and while I didn't hear this clearly, she yelled down from the top of the stairs that she would not let them in or ban them because she needed to keep the stairs clear for safety reasons. This was undoubtedly the worst estate sale I've ever been to in over 10 years. Never have I been told to leave after 5 minutes, nor not being able to look around again to even being told I basically can't buy more. And I wasted paid time off for nothing. I will never attend another one of her sales again. But please, don't let me discourage anybody from using her company for your estate sale. This is just for the customers who attend. Thank you.

As a regular attendee of estate sales hosted by Pink Lady, I can't help but leave a positive review…read morefor them. First and foremost, their pricing is consistently reasonable and fair. They strike a very nice balance between setting prices that will ensure items sell without giving them away. They also are easy to negotiate with if you take the right tact. I also appreciate the organization of their sales. Items are thoughtfully arranged, prices are clearly labeled, and it's evident that the team takes great care to prep the homes. They have a consistent system with their lists on the morning of the first day and move people in fairly quickly. What truly sets this company apart though, is their outstanding staff. Their team is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly pleasant to interact with. They are always ready to assist, offering insights into the history and value of items. Their warmth and professionalism make every visit enjoyable. I especially enjoy speaking with the gentleman who usually oversees the tools. Five Stars!

My estate sale with Pink Lady Liquidation, LLC and Sarah Oliveri was one of the worst customer…read moreexperiences of my life. Sarah was difficult to communicate with (often did not return calls, texts or emails) and when she was at my home the day of sale preparation, she was rude and impatient. She raised her voice with me more than once and it was all I could do not to ask her to leave and not return. She took jewelry and watches with her that day without telling me and of course I had to consider the worst-case scenario, which was that one of the several crew members there that day may have taken them. I texted her to ask about this later that evening when I realized they were gone, and later the next morning she let me know they had them to research further and metal test. No apology for causing me concern, or acknowledgement that perhaps one should not do that without notifying the home owner. She neglected to mention additional parking near-by in a small business lot in the sale listing, despite my telling her that the owner had granted permission for use during the sale (my street is short with little parking available). A few days after the sale ended (low turnout and poor sales) I received a bill via email showing that I owed her over $600 as the minimum threshold of $2000 for sales had not been met. No personal note with that, text or phone call. Lots of lovely items gone as if they were given away; $2000 is a low threshold for vintage, antique, collectible items, suitcases, bedding, table linens and cookware along with some jewelry, several nice resin watches and some furniture. The only bright spot was that the two crew members who were there during the two days of the sale, Stacey and Casey, were sweet, kind and communicative. I was able to sell many of the leftover items online and more than made up for the financial loss caused by this estate sale, so that was a big help. I have read many positive reviews for Pink Lady and it's as if people are talking about services and an owner that I did not utilize. Reminded me eerily of the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and you can deduce which one I got! Someone mentioned that Sarah was having health issues, and if true I would not wish that for anyone. But regardless of what was going on in her personal life, there is no excuse for the unprofessional behavior and conduct I encountered. I encourage others to exercise their due diligence and explore other and better options that are out there.

There are people who can help you with that, or you can use hooked on phonics, I hear it works! With the not reading theme, you seem to have a comprehension issue as well. I am not sick of people complaining about shipping, that happens rarely. I am sick of people giving their opinions and wasting my time on issues that are trivial. Oh wait, is that word too big for you? Trivial means small and stupid. I use constructive complaints to improve, and I use useless complaints to weed out those who shouldn't be bidding at my sale. The world of the customer is always right is gone, dear sir. But then again you seem to come from the get of my lawn mentality so maybe this is beyond you.  You can use my comments any way you wish. Make sure to spell my name correctly in your review - it's Maureen Bodnar. If you think leaving me a bad review is meant to upset me, think again. I have no issue with that. Any real business has honest reviews, and then I get to respond to it. Some people will read it and be put off, and some will read it and see the response and think you are being a jerk. Life will move forward. So I will let you know again that the handling fee was in the terms, as well as the 18% premium. You can read that now, can't you? Or have I already gone too far beyond your capabilities?
