Her prices are unreal And often higher than sold comps on eBay. I understand that some higher end items should be priced accordingly, but she looks them up on eBay and bases price on what people are asking for the item and not what an item sells for, like a professional would do. I could ask $1,450 for a bag of vintage dog sh!t but if nobody buys it at that price, that's not it's value. If only she realized this. Also, she not friendly and most estate sale goers in the area stay clear of her sales or go there at the very end, because that's the only time she'll discount her ridiculously inflated prices. If you're considering hiring her, do your homework and look for the best company to represent your estate. Her photos in the listing are consistent with the quality of 1997 flip phone photos. She repeats photos a half a dozen times and hasn't a clue how to display in an attractive manner. I've read she has 30+ years experience. Just because you've worked in a field for 30+ years doesn't mean you know what you're doing or you perform it well. Just my opinion of this company. It's the last on my list of companies in the area to go to and if you chat with others in line, that is pretty much the word on the street with this company. Overall rating is a D.

Nothing, well, for the most part is without some type of none perfect condition - so, you have to look carefully and IF you decide to bid on something you've seen I would take time stamped pics of the item at the time you looked it over - so IF it is damaged when you go to pic up it up you can prove it. The online bids really pick up rapid pace the last few minutes so take close attention. The Marlboro Showrooms seem to have a lower standard of quality than Boston - especially in the jewelry and silver area.
