We've attended five estate sales run by Action Estate Sales. Every single time, we have been…read moretreated SO RUDELY!! "Badgered" would be a more suitable term. Twice I've taken a clearly marked item through the register and they've increased the price once I've stood in line and am ready to check out. Additionally, the items are always grossly overpriced so, even if they go half off, they're not worth the return trip. Yesterday was our final trip (Allison Park) to anything remotely linked to Action Estate Sales. They need a lesson in manners and common courtesy to patrons. Never again.

We used Action Estate Sales for a recent sale at my sister's house near Pittsburgh. Richard, Dawn…read moreand Cindy were outstanding from start to finish. Friendly, professional, honest and hardworking. Really appreciated the upfront work they did on researching item values and setting good prices. They also proved their marketing skills, as our sale had a long line outside on Day 1. Also appreciated how they continued to move items around and highlight different items to help merchandise them over the two day sale. Ultimately, our net proceeds were much higher than expected and we owe this to the team at Action Estate Sales PGH. Our family is very happy we chose them for this project. We highly recommend them.

In addition a king size water bed (thanks for taking one for the team, but don't do that again). I wish I had taken photos of the crew. They were so helpful. We were so emotionally attached to my moms things. Bob and Crew were sympathetic and kind. Bob and team Help me and my family get through a rough time. ELS is not cheap.

I have never heard Fawn yelling at people or arguing prices. She is always polite and professional. Never rude. I would definitely recommend her for an estate sale and I always go to her sales if I can. I agree she doesn't price everything. I wish she would also put measurements on pictures when she shows the merchandise. That would be a big help.

I had always heard of people in my department saying that they would "check surplus" before…read morepurchasing things like office furniture elsewhere. I finally understand how and why when I took a field trip to surplus myself. Essentially, it's a warehouse of furniture, electronics, cars, antiques, and other random things like faux plants that are no longer in use by the university. Once removed from university grounds, they are taken to this warehouse in Point Breeze and sold for cheap or auctioned off to the general public or university personnel. When I went there, there were several types of chairs including theatre chairs, tables, and more. I recently bought a 19" Dell monitor for $25.00. I was told to just bring the monitor back if I had any issues and they'd just replace. The monitor works perfectly. Office chairs ranged from about $20-60. Larger items like old university cars are auctioned off. It's a really cool place and you'd be really surprised by what you find especially the price! Once I move into my new apartment, I plan to go back to surplus to see what I can find. Because why break the bank with all new furnishings?!?!
