<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 360514, member: 6444"]I never bought anything from them, didn't know about them until a few months ago. Found a local estate sale of theirs (a mile from me) with some genuine antiques that I thought would be worth looking at, but then I found that the only pieces that were available for local pickup were the very large items (bureau and bigger). That made me lose interest fast. There are enough estate sales in my area (and all areas) so that buying from an estate sale that advertises and ships across the US (and charges for the privilege) just didn't make sense to me. Why not allow two days of local pickup for everything before shipping to Ohio? I don't get it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand why it would be attractive to Sellers to get more eyes on the goods they need to sell, because they are the ones who are screwed by the lack of options that arise when they need to disperse their estate. But as a buyer, it just didn't make sense. Seems like a few simple changes to their business model would have made it work a whole lot better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
