    Michael spoke at our Rotary club several weeks ago about how NobleSpirit can appraise coins and…read morestamps and then sell them on eBay on behalf of the owners. Since I had a coin collection from when I was a boy in the 60s & 70s and my father's stamp collection from the 30s that had been gathering dust for years, I thought this would be a great way to declutter and find a good home for these coins & stamps with people who would appreciate them. When I visited NobleSpirit afterwards, Michael and his father said they could come to my house to appraise the collections, both of which were sizeable, to start the process of selling them. However, when they showed up at my house, the story quickly changed. They said that neither collection had anything that was worth the time and effort needed to sell on eBay, which I don't believe was true. Instead, they offered to just buy the collections. After a very cursory inspection of the stamp collection, they said it wasn't worth anything even though it included hundreds of stamps almost 100 years old and almost 100 first-day covers. The inspection of my coin collection also appeared cursory - it looked like they just counted the number of silver coins and based their offer on the value of the silver (and I don't think even this was a fair offer). They didn't seem to consider the numismatic value of the coins even though there were many from the 1800s and some from the late 1700s to include a cool 1783 Washington "Unity States" cent. I wasn't happy with their process but, when I expressed reservations, I got the "hard sell", which further upset me. However, since my primary goal was to find a good home for the coins and stamps so they were no longer gathering dust, I decided to accept what I think was their low-ball offer for the coins and to give them stamp collection. I hope they all go to people who appreciate them. However, overall I was very dissatisfied with the process and don't feel like I was treated fairly.

    Absoulutly awful!!! I went in with an excellent collection, including one gold coin, the employee I…read morefirst spoke to asked the owner to bring the gold tester which he did not, the owner simply dropped my coin and said it was fake! I had it officially tested at a much better place with an actual gold tester and got $700 for it! This place is an absolute joke!

    Extremely pleased. Here's the short version why, followed by a long one…read more.. SHORT VERSION ---- Our situation: a cluttered 3-bedroom home in a different state that needed to be handled. Ideally, of course, we sell and donate what we can-but even just the clearing out aspect was looking like a nightmare logistically, financially... not to mention time... not to mention STRESS. True to their name and promise, Stress Free Estate Services truly handled it all. Quick, communicative, under budget & ahead of schedule. In fact, I feel so strongly about my recommendation, I feel compelled to write a long version for the benefit of anyone who is in the same place I was before we chose to go with Dennis... LONG VERSION ---- When I found/called Dennis, I was surrounded by notebook pages and spreadsheets full of quotes and timelines, becoming increasingly overwhelmed trying to do everything myself. (Everything from dumpster people, to donation people, to cleaning people, to scores of potential buyers, AKA randos, on several buy/sell apps). It was a classic, "There's got to be a better way!" Quick search online, and I found Dennis. I feared a company called "Stress Free Estate Services," with a website claiming to provide EVERY service I was trying to handle on my own, might be too good to be true. There's a level of trust inherent in this kind of arrangement, trust that was earned after the fact by outstanding work. The better I can describe our positive experience, the more I can hopefully shorten what can feel like a leap of faith-especially in a situation like ours, where we were out of state, a bit overwhelmed, and, honestly, a bit reeling, trying to do it all on our own. It's a vulnerable place to be. The service was as good as advertised. My only regret is that I didn't find Dennis earlier. I could have saved weeks of work and worry-as it is, he saved me months of the same. I was far enough along in the process to be able to compare Stress Free Estate Services with quotes I received from all the different parties which would have been required to do it on my own. Even if Dennis had not sold anything, his up-front cost was still less than it would have cost to clear out the house on my own. But he did sell-quite a bit. Enough that a check is in the mail. We are RECEIVING more money than it would have COST to do it on our own. Amazing value-even before you account for TIME/ENERGY saved and STRESS avoided. The only thing Dennis can't compete with is some idealized version of what doing it myself could have looked like. (I was far along enough in the process to know.) Even if I could have made it my full time job to try to get top dollar for every item in a cluttered house, the reality of my earnings would have failed to meet what I instinctually felt things were worth. The endowment effect is reel... And buyers will not pay to cover the sentimental value I'd helplessly fold into my pricing. The only way to counteract this? Have someone else do it. Someone who knows how. Make it back in time saved. Stress saved. Ultimately, even in the money earned-because I do not know how to do this on my own (not well, anyway). And I couldn't have made it my full time job. I wasn't even in the same state. We needed the house cleared-whatever could be donated, donated, and whatever could be sold, sold. Dennis solved all these problems, on budget and ahead of schedule. Now we can sell the house. Stress-free, indeed! Very grateful!

    Dennis is a straight shooter, and tells it like it is. Although he wasn't able to assist with our…read moresituation, because we didn't call soon enough, he kindly gave us some very helpful advice. He wanted to help more, but there just wasn't time, however he provided some great information, and didn't charge us for his knowledge. Very grateful, and hope to work with him in the future!
