<p>[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 4406642, member: 141"]Most sales here run for one day. There are a few that run maybe 2 or 3 days but that is the exception not the rule. Some estate sale runners around here are doing auctions where they show the item with virtually no info and then people can bid and either pick up or some offer shipping only. I see some of the ending prices and they are low. I like to pick up the item myself and feel it and examine it with my eyes, I would not buy like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen stuff at one sale that no one purchased turn up at another sale when the estate sale runner just brought it into the second house to try to move it. Not a terrible idea since we all can't get to all the sale going on at once or at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the worse and funniest sale I went to years ago, I got there and the house had a big fire about 2 weeks prior. The stink of smoke and fire was all over the place. The roof was all but gone. But this estate sale runner still had the sale. I left promptly shaking my head in disbelief. I did not know that this was a fire sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
