What to Take Before the Estate Sale Starts?
You should take anything that can be used by you or a family member. Also, if it has sentimental value, go ahead and take it.
The problem is that sometimes things are taken because other family members took a lot. Another common reason is to take high value items and sell them yourself. That is a terrible strategy.
There is a good chance you will make less selling it yourself even after paying commission. The better items are what brings customers to estate sales. If you just have lesser items, much less traffic and revenue. The better estate sale companies will not do your sale.
