<p>[QUOTE="laura9797, post: 9484865, member: 9323"]As someone who is in the Estate sale and Auction world - you might want to look at a good local reputable auction house and Estate sale company. Most auction houses offer shipping or work with shipping providers and you increase your buying audience from local to worldwide. You can also try to find an Estate sale company that works closely with a good auction house. We go into an estate and pick through and decide what items would benefit from auction exposure and send them to the auction house. We had a couple of pieces of turned vessels and asked $1000 for each. We thought because the vessels were from a local and famous wood turner, we wouldn't have an issue. We ended up taking them to our auction house and fetched twice the amount. With an estate sale, you have to cross your fingers and hope the right people walk through the door but at auction, the right people are always looking. Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
