Review:Colleen’s Estate Sales

DSC02799

Whenever I see a that a sale on estatesales.net is a sale by Colleen, of Colleen’s Estate Sales, I know its going to be a great sale. According to her website, her company has “over 25 years experience conducting, organizing, appraising and selling antiques & collectibles.” All of those years have not been in vain. Her sales staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. Just yesterday I was looking at a red Rainbow Hawkeye Camera. I knew it was a camera but had no idea how it worked. Colleen’s assistant knew exactly how it worked and showed me how to open it, how it took pictures, and how to put in the film. The other two times I’ve been at her sales, her employees have answered all of my questions promptly and with a smile. This friendly attitude fits her prices. There’s nothing worse than going to an estate sale and feeling like you’re stepping into an antique mall. If I wanted to pay antique mall prices, I’d go to an antique mall. Not at Colleen’s. Prices are very fair. There are definite bargains to be had. It is typical for her last day to drop everything to 50% off. When I asked “Are we at 50% off right now?!” yesterday, she hollered back, “No we’re at 80!” Another customer gasped. “I guess you haven’t been to any of my sales before!”, she joked back. Those last hours usually drop to 80%. That may not always be the case, as “It depends on what the seller wants” one of her employees told me. By the time that the sale has dropped to 80% off, its going to be picked over of course, but I’ve found some great things for really good prices at that point.
