The Edna Louise team is fantastic. I live in Washington, DC, and I find their sales to be so good and I enjoy working with them so much, that I fly up just for them. I really appreciate their photography: it's accurate, comprehensive, and allows me to evaluate whether a sale is worth traveling for. They're fair in handling entry, they're honest with the condition of items, and their prices are solid--being affordable for the buyer but preserving value for the client. I've always found them to be flexible and just genuinely nice people. I love working with Charmaine, Andrew, Kara, Keith...the whole team. For me, they set the benchmark against which I judge all other estate-sale companies. read more

Absolutely love this estate sale company. Ive been shopping their sales since 2010 and they are one of the few that are willing to negotiate pricing regardless of the day. They are very helpful and will assist loading larger items when needed. I also had a family friend use them for a sale and they were very pleased with the service! read more

Review written from perspective of an estate sale shopper (not as homeowner / customer): There are a few important aspects to an estate sale... Signup: Most companies post sign-up sheets the morning of the sale. For Edna sales, it can be posted... any time during that week. So it's hard to really know when it's available for sign-up. But it's also nice not having to be there early in the morning to sign up, and then come back an hour later for sale start. 3 Stars. Pricing: Their product pricing seems to be higher than other local companies, maybe because they run a discount day on the last day, and they need to inflate the initial price. But on the 1st day, prices are typically not that competitive. 2 Stars. Organization: This is where they seem to do a decent job. The staff does a decent job of organizing the items, and keeping people flowing without overcrowding. Generally a professional experience. 4 Stars. Overall: Would like to see pricing made a bit more competitive. Notably media (books, cds, dvds) are all more expensive than other local estate sale companies. Aside from that, the sales are usually a decent experience. read more

I wish I could give a higher score. my mother lost her battle with cancer a few months back, and her house was riddled with antiques and collectibles. it was almost her whole personality and she adored them all. my brother and I didn't know where to begin on how to sell or discard of her items, so we called Andrew over at Edna Louise from a recommendation, and they were timely, honest and extremely professional. they staged the house and sold a ton of her belongings and made us an extremely fair amount of money by doing so. cannot recommend them more. thanks team read more

I am very perplexed (and mostly confused) about Andrew B's recent comment of a few days ago. Do you expect a 100% empty house that is move-in ready when a sale is complete? Did you count the items and know exactly how many items were sold? A one day SUNDAY sale???? Does your description of the cashier matter? Clearly, your answers to these questions are YES since you wrote them, but let me assure you the answers are NO. By the way, the sale was correctly posted the previous weekend!! With this degree of displeasure, why didn't you do a private house sale in the first place so things can be perfect for you. Perhaps it is too much work and effort for you? Be thankful you had someone who agreed to take your sale. MANY Western New Yorker's who frequent Edna Louise sales respect the work done to make sales ready and run smoothly, providing a great overall experience. An estate sale is not a rummage sale, so prices do represent value. Why not remove and try to sell those "valuables" elsewhere? Although I have only worked with the Edna Louise TEAM from the sale perspective, they are professional, always work ethically and keep their eyes on things much better than you perceive. Cleary you would have been unsatisfied by any company you could have chosen for your sale. Andrew, please don't reply to my comment as I am too busy looking at pictures to next week's Edna Louise sales that are clearly and correctly posted. read more

Great service and knowledgeable staff always a great shopping experience. Pricing is fair and the staff works with you on products as well especially on the last day. read more

I have engaged Edna Louise Liquidators for several moving sales over many years. I have never been disappointed! They have always managed to accommodate our moving/closing dates. We have always ended up netting FAR more by enlisting their services than anything we might have made conducting our own sale. Their staff does an outstanding job of sorting through all the "stuff" we no longer needed/wanted, staging it all beautifully - presenting our "stuff", displaying it all to its best advantage, pricing everything fairly - resulting in the most money for us. They have the thankless task of determining their current market value vs. our emotional/personal opinions about the worth of various items. Things come and go in popularity, sale-ability, market value. Edna Louise Liquidators know exactly what the current market will bear at the time of the sale. It is in THEIR best interest, too, to get the most they can for the items - as they are compensated on a percentage of what sells. Their service has always been outstanding. I HIGHLY recommend them! read more

I always find unique items. The sales are well staged and workers are so helpful. The stories shared about the families add a great touch. I love having a story about where something came from. You really just never know what your going to find! read more

From initial contact until final cleanout, we have been treated like family. This company is very well run, putting its clients needs and wishes ahead of all else. Charmaine Then, our contact, is a joy to work with...knowledgeable, efficient, approachable, professional and just a wonderful human being. She held our hand every step of the way and her response time to our barrage of email/text inquiries was literally under 15 minutes. We put ourselves in her capable hands, confidently gave her the reins, and left town. Every last detail was meticulously attended to, and we felt both relief and sheer gratitude for her expertise, wise counsel, and gentle navigation. Hire this company. They know their stuff and know how to dispose of yours. All in all, a very pleasant experience. read more

sale started 10-7-21 (9 am) We were 3 rd on the sign-up sheet so I felt good about being able to purchase what had caught my interest from the photos that were posted in regards to this sale. When I was amoung the first five at the sale, a lot of things were tagged sold! The items I arrived ready to buy were no longer on the tables....as a matter of fact 6 or 7 items that were photoed on the table were no longer a part of the sale. Some of the items were marked sold to a person who was not even on the listin front of me. Ethical business practices ,,,, maybe they should look up the meaning!!!! So when would these items have been purchased? Obviously not on the date that was posted! Some people get to view and buy items before the rest of the public! This sucks if you ask me! I will avoid Edna Louis at all costs in the future after this experience!!!! Plus they price their items full retail+ which is not what estate sales are all about! Buyer beware and they will never see another dime of my money, beacause deception and poor business practices are read more

I had an Estate Sale done by Edna Louise and her staff before the sale of my house. I was amazed how fast they prepared and displayed all the items for sale. Pictures on the website were wonderful. In addition, they put a sign up sheet on the front door prior to the sale. Great to see how many people signed up. I felt very confident the sale would a success and was in good hands. In deed it was a HUGE success. Great accomplishment and attributed to Charmaine and the wonderful staff! My hat goes off to them. I wish my closing went as smooth as the sale! Thank you again Charmaine Patricia T read more

If you need to liquidate a household...Edna Louise does an amazing job! They liquidated my Mothers house and did such a great job on the sale I felt the need to post one of my very few yelp reviews. First of all, the entire staff is so knowledgeable and savvy when it comes to pricing items. They completely staged the house and made beautiful displays. The staff is so kind and compassionate. it was very emotional for us to have our Mothers possessions sold and cleared out but we needed to do it! Edna Louise's staff was very sensitive and so kind to us during this process. They provide a wonderful service to our community! I highly recommend this company. read more

Went to a recent "estate sale" every item was overpriced! $15.00 for an empty Jack Daniels bottle, really? Their client would have been better off selling everything on eBay. $175.00 for a plastic model kit that was missing half the kit. Don't waste your time. Lastly, the pickers were like animals shoving their way around looking for items to flip which I doubt they found any. read more

Edna Louise paves the way for Estate Sales done right in Western New York. It seems like they recently came into light after holding a sale at the Williamsville Castle, but Edna Louise has been around for years! Their services have been offered for as long as I've been alive - seriously, the business began in '94. On a weekly basis they post where their next estate sales will be held, and they can range anywhere from Tonawanda to East Amherst, Buffalo, Orchard Park...just a few weeks ago they had a sale in Silver Creek! They keep customers updated on their Facebook page with photos of some of the great buys available at upcoming sales, which is awesome. I've gone to numerous Edna Louise sales, some of which I ended up at because of their Facebook postings. Their sales are seriously awesome, and they always seem to have some pretty cool houses to liquidate. It's usually the same setup for each home; they'll have a table with a cashier near the door where you can bring your purchases, and you'll be able to freely roam the house in search of whatever your little heart may desire. They tape off areas they aren't allowing buyers to go through (usually bathrooms/rooms without anything for sale in them). If you buy something large that needs to be picked up later, they will mark those items as 'sold' for you, and reserve them. I've gone to sales on their first day, for snagging some vinyl records I'd spotted on their Facebook page that I seriously needed for my collection, and they'll usually have a list on the door for you to write your name on to reserve your place in line. Typically on the final day of a sale, they'll have a discount, like 25%-50% off a purchase. read more

I went to one of their sales in Elma this morning, the first day of the sale. It was a very large home with many fine antiques. I was just about to offer the asking price on a loveseat @$495 when a dealer walked in front of me asking Charmaine how much? I overheard her whisper to the dealer-$300. Really! The sale had only started an hour earlier and Charmaine's offering items at steep discounts to dealers she knows? How unethical a practice this is and it deprives the owner of the estate the profit they are entitled too. Shame on Edna Louise Estate Sales. They are crooked. read more

Edna Louise Liquidators ALWAYS runs a great sale. I live in Erie PA (2.5 hours away) and I gladly make that drive. The employees always take great care of me. They all work extremely hard considering the amount of effort that goes into preparing for the sale, working the sale and dealing with the public. They always conduct their sales professionally and are very respectful. I do not hesitate to give 5 stars read more

I have shopped at several of their estate auctions and found the staff very helpful even when it is very crowded. The prices were reasonable and have never had a problem. You can sign up on the door during the week and if no listis on the door I think you can start one so you don't have to get up super early or drive by a bunch of times. read more

The owner C is an amazing human being. She answers questions promptly, explains everything, and is super friendly and helpful. Her crew is super kind and understands that people are dealing with a tough time from losing a family member. I definitely recommend and will use them again. read more

I have been going to Edna Louise's estate sales for years. The staff I have encountered has always been very helpful. Andrew Has always been helpful and knowledgeable about the sale.

I contacted Edna Louise Liquidators about several Collector Cars that they're featuring, was contacted by Eric Wobschall from Edna Louise, about the cars. When I asked some legitimate questions about the Cars they are selling he responded back saying that he couldn't help me as I was being combative and sarcastic and he can't be bothered? Obviously these people can't be Trusted and are trying to hide something about these Automobiles? They want a buyer to spend Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars to buy these Cars without knowing anything about them? One example is the have a 1967 Corvette without matching engine number and they want $150,000 plus several other cars including a shell of a 1955 Chevy Belair which they want $100,000. Many of the cars are projects that need a lot of work and money? From what I saw you can buy better Cars from Barrett Jackson or MeCum Auto Auctions who both offer Authentication. Stay away from these people as they're Crooks, someone not willing to answer your questions is trying to hide something it has been my experience. If you plan on doing business with these people be very CAREFULL. If I could give them a Negative Rating other than NOT GOOD it would be a Zero! read more

See all

While Charmaine was professional in Nature, the service was not. No appraisal offered or given as it says on her web page. It was listed as a 1-day sale for Sunday (she started the sale thurs) with unfair market value prices (way over) on items then slashed in 1/2 on the Sunday promoted, still leaving over 65% of contents that she cannot account for the contents 35% sold. no itemized lists, no accountability. I had to toss the rest as people in this industry do not entertained picked over sales. The person collecting cash was a large man left outside on his own. He or anyone could have ran off with money unaccounted for. ZERO accountability for appraisal, accounting, or sale terms. The house, though "Charmaine worked hard to clean" was still left in disarray. My uncle was a collector appraiser and auctioneer and had many valuables mixed with maybe smaller valued objects. He would have been very disappointed. read more

I did not want to give a star, but I couldn't post this unless I did. I will NEVER refer this company to anyone! They did not do what they said they were going to do. They were so unprofessional and unorganized. They made excuses that it was everyone else's fault. They got into a screaming match with the Buyer and their Agent that was buying my Customers house. Then the texts I received from Eric stating that the Buyers should just "find a new house" since they wanted it cleaned out, oh but he was only kidding and the sale was only marginal anyway. So that means you can be unprofessional. Then he had the audacity to say the Agents were greedy and just focus on record setting fees. I Referred you business and this is how you thank me! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY, YOU WILL REGRET IT! read more

Drove nearly an hour one way today to arrive at their Lockport sale at 330pm. People who worked walked out of the house and got into their vehicles.and left without saying a word to us. That apparently was the crew. Advertised until 4pm and they closed up shop early with signs all over town. 3 more cars arrived after us before we took off. Bad business practice. Make sure and tell your customer what you did. Hope they get to see this review. Not the first time you've done this to me but its the last! Drove another hour back home. Sorry excuse for a business! read more

went to a sale on opening day got there right at open and was told everything was already sold. how does that happen. shady people.

I did not leave a review for Edna Louise/Charmaine after using them in 2017 for a family estate sale, however it was not a good experience. I thought perhaps it was a one-off at the time because their reviews were generally not bad. There was a complete communication breakdown between Charmaine and her staff. After going over exactly which items were to be made available for sale with her, when her crew arrived for staging, they had no idea what they were doing and were fairly rude about it. Items that were not to be touched were mishandled and damaged. I would not have hired this company based on the recent Yelp reviews, so it's clear that things have not improved. My first experience with them was also my last. read more

Typically good prices and a fantastic crew. Half off Saturday afternoons so mostly good reviews from me but this weekend they close earlier than their scheduled time at 4:00 so I had to take a star away. I go with my baby so it's a hassle to unload her then walk through the snow just to find the house locked up a d no one to answer my knocks. I've even managed to write this review before 4:00. read more

After years of going to markets and estate sales, I still make the mistake of visiting an Edna Louise sale once a year to be reminded how outrageous the pricing is. I commonly see hand and power tools that are 10-20 years marked to the MSRP of the brand new updated models you can buy today. Any vintage electronics are often in poor or untestable conditions but they are asking 10% more than a shop would be that personally serviced and rebuilt these items. Don't go to these sales if you're looking for deals or items to refurbish, you will be paying top dollar and they get nasty when you try to work with them. If you sell used goods and don't barter, you're not to be trusted in my book. read more

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Charmaine is so professional and she has the best team to support her. She has a great following too. If you are considering an estate sale, she is the best. My house was left in spotless condition after the sale, and everything was removed as I had requested. read more

We went to an estate sale today which was run by Edna Louise Liquidators. The advertised time in the sites I found said the sale ends May 5 at 1pm. They basically told us the sale was over at 12pm and claimed what is said in estate sales sites is not their problem! Not very polite it seems! Good luck with these folks. read more

My friend was forced to buy her artwork back from this swindler after she accidentally left it with the items that Edna Louise was going to sell. Edna Louise took advantage of a mistake. She should have done the RIGHT thing and given the items back to the owner. read more

I used this business for my mother's estate. Beware! The guy who comes to your home to review the items for sale is pushy and obnoxious. He doesn't take the time to discuss what the family wants - he's only interested in talking over you, hurrying the conversation and being totally disrespectful. In my case, it was a good thing that I traveled back to my mother's home after the sale. The exterior gates to the property were left open and several doors to the house were left unlocked. Items that had been displayed outdoors were not secured after the sale - an oriental rug was left outside in the grass - it was soaking wet from the rain overnight. Inside, unsold clothing was rolled up in balls and thrown on the floors of the closets. Finally, when I inquired about payment, Charmaine got snippy, told me that I would have to wait until she reviewed the sale receipts and figured out her cut of the proceeds. When I finally received the check, there was no itemized list of what was sold. In other words, I have no idea if the total proceeds could be verified or not. Very poor customer service, dishonest. read more
