<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9618014, member: 36"]There are some here I won't touch. One starts their sales at 7AM. Anyone who can see straight at that hour isn't for me. Also - all of the ones coming in from New York or Fairfield County. Anyone coming in from Boston too - they have a bad habit of pricing things close to retail. (estate runners who are from "out of market" in other words) If they say "We can always put it in our store if we don't get our price" ... hit the Back button. Actual antique dealers on the other hand may well be just fine. A friend has his own store and runs estate sales occasionally. He prices some things fairly, some things high, and really blows it at other times. </p><p><br /></p><p>Usually if an estate sale company takes pictures of an item, they price it up. Best to looking for the things they either only photograph in large groups, or can't be bothered to photograph at all. Family sales, you never know. Sometimes they just want it gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
