My husband enjoyed their expansive collection of sterling silver flatware and hollowware and was equally impressed with the knowledge the store owner had of it. I was surprised to discover that they also sold pre-owned designer accessories. I purchased a fabulous Chanel handbag for myself and a beautiful Hermes scarf for my sister-in-law. There is no doubt that I will certainly be returning to this delightful shop in the very near future!

We settled on a Tony Bahama Chair as well as some Lane patio items. For the most part when buying consignment be sure to inspect thoroughly, this stuff even though used is expensive. Fortunately our discoveries were fairly minor (cushions for chairs unseamed etc) overall this is a good spot to go for your needs. Just be careful as even the sales person may not know there is a problem. Quality control issues overlooked easy to do on used.

They take 40% commission but it's worth it not to attempt to sell this yourself. They have plenty of inventory so it's worth it to browse- near Burns Ct and Owen's Fish Camp.

Let the bidder beware…read more I bid on Lot 410 in Sarasota's August 29, 2026 auction. On Invaluable through Invaluable's bidding process prior to the start of the auction. I was very much aware that Sarasota used other on-line auction platforms, but they were linked and my bid was shown as highest. I've been bidding in on-line auctions well over 25 years. And, I've always been told that if there are two identical bids of the same amount, as on-line absentee bids, the first and earliest bid is the bid taken. Because, if bidding platforms are linked any identical bid after the first would not be accepted because it would have already been outbid. That second bidder would have to bid higher than the highest bid of the first bidder to have their bid register and the earlier bidder would have gotten an outbid notice. Which I didn't and haven't. Ever. I bid $100 absentee long before the item went to hammer. The bid, at that time, was $60. Once the item closed, you could see the bid increments go up, during live bidding on the item, from $60 up to my $100, which was the selling price. I won, right? Not so says the auction house. Their excuse? All absentee bids are thrown in a hat, so to speak, and the other bidder - that bid $100 absentee after I did (which can be verified) - was taken as the $100 bid. So I would have had to bid $110 to get the item. What?!? Why wasn't their bid "outbid" as mine was already there. There followed extensive word salad explanations of their bid taking methods that boiled down, really, to they took that later, second, $100 bid and there wasn't crap I could do about it. And, to even further be insulted...I filed a complaint with Invaluable. Who took their side with an explanation that made no more sense than the one the auction house gave. And, because I won an item for $70 that I told them they could keep because I wasn't wasting a dime at their auction after the way they treated my bidding the winning amount first, they filed a complaint with Invaluable who downgraded my status. After having a 100% pay through on 240 items for tens of thousands against an auction house with a 3.2 Yelp rating. Over a $70 item I refused to pay for after being slapped by the auction house over a winning bid. Yes, let the bidder beware with Sarasota Estate Auction!

The store is run by Byron who enjoys finding unique items at estate sales and then selling them in his store. Prices are usually very fair and he sometimes negotiates.

Some parking available directly outside the store as well as on the streets opposite the store.
