I saw an ad on Facebook Marketplace sometime ago advertising an estate sale. Thinking it was a private sale I responded and made plans to attend. It wasn't until I got there that I realized this is a legit business. I'm not sure if they buy out estates, or sell estates on consignment but believe their liquidating services are geared towards seniors entering nursing facilities.
Located off the main street in Denver in the rear of a professional building strip mall of sorts it was a little hard to find the actual store. But you will see their trucks out front and just need to walk around back.
Outside they had larger pieces, furniture, gardening supplies, tools, coolers, and the like. Inside was much larger than expected with several rooms organized with same type items. Glassware is in abundance, as is art, and Christmas decor. Small - one rack actually - of clothing, very limited linens, and some home health aids like walkers, etc.
The majority of the items were vintage, I'd say a good 95% so I was excited to find some goodies for resale. Unfortunately, while their pricing is fair, it is geared towards the end user consumer and the buy in is not low enough for a reseller.
Even so I found two wool crochet afgans, probably from the 1970's that I was intersted in. They were folded and taped shut and were priced at $5 each. I'm glad at the counter I asked them to remove the tape for inspection prior to purchasing as they were both badly damaged and in a way that it would have been impossible for them not to notice as they taped it up. I felt that was sneaky.
While I don't plan on coming back, I will say if you need racks, shovels, etc this would be a good resource, or if you want to add to a fine china collection or start one. Be very careful and review your items carefully as I assume they have a no return policy. Also not sure if they accept cash. read more
