Q: What payment types are accepted at the sales?
A: We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and cash. All payments are processed through our point-of-sale system and a printed receipt or a receipt through text or email can be provided to you.
Q: Are there pre-sales or early entry to the sales?
A: No. We want a fair playing field for all interested buyers on the first day.
Q: When do estate sales typically take place?
A: The vast majority of estate sales run on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from the morning to early afternoon. Visit our upcoming sales page to see what we have scheduled.
Q: Do you cater to dealers?
A: NO. Although we love and appreciate all the dealers that come to our sales, we do not give special preferences to dealers. They are subject to the same rules as are all our customers.
Q: What's the difference between an estate sale and a garage sale?
A: The average garage sale tends to feature a selection of unwanted belongings, typically scattered about a lawn or stacked atop tarps and tables in a garage. An estate sale, on the other hand, takes place in the home itself. Think of it as a pop-up retail experience of sorts, complete with a wide variety of items. While there will be some items that fall into the "yard sale" category, because we are usually emptying an entire house, the majority of the items are top quality, often antiques and collectibles.
Another important difference between an estate sale and a garage sale is the location. Estate sales are usually held inside the home, so weather is not a factor. You can shop in comfort, rain or shine, hot or cold!
Q: Shall I haggle for the best price?
A: At an Heirloom Treasure's sale, there's no need for negotiations. We use the latest technology and our years of experience to determine fair market values for the items we sell. When you shop with us, you can be sure that you're getting a great deal. If there is something special that's a bit over your budget, check in closer to the end of the sale. The last day of a sale brings discounted prices, as well as an opportunity to discuss offers.
Q: Can I get prices for items ahead of the sale?
A: With thousands of items available at every sale, we are unable to share prices ahead of time. You can be confident that we price items to sell at fair market value. Always remember that the best selection is for those first to arrive.
Q. Why do I sometimes see "sold" tags on items when I arrive at the sale?
A. A "sold" item was purchased earlier in the day or on a previous sale day and the buyer is arranging for a time to pick up their item. Large furniture pieces cannot be removed from the sale when there are customers in the home, so it is common to see those items in place until as late as the afternoon of the last day of the sale. Rest assured, those items were sold during the posted hours of the sale.
Q: What should I bring to make shopping easier?
A: We try to have wrapping paper and plastic bags available, but we suggest bringing your own boxes. Large tote bags are also excellent for carrying your treasures to the checkout area.
Q: Why is the item I saw in a promotional photo no longer in the home?
A: Many items are purchased within the first hours of the sale. Photos are posted early in the week, and it is impossible to update them during the actual sale days. However, there is always a wonderful selection of things, even through the final hours of the sale.
Q: Do you have staff available to move heavy items?
A: You will need to bring help to move heavy items. Please note that all items must be removed from the property within two hours of the close of the sale on the final day. You may also want to bring any tools necessary to disassemble a piece of furniture.
