I found the best items in the sale of plantations. ‘These are my best tips

Last summer, I saw the crowd formed outside the home in my environment, and, of course, I need to see what happened. I know that plantation sales are ongoing, and everything in the house is sold. Surprised, I walked in, Oohed and Ahhed above the amazing house, and left with a pearl frame, two glasses of drinking glass with gold foil, and a coffee table book € ”all at a price of around $ 15. Since then, I am addicted.

Plantation sales offer a perfect blend of shopping and fainting on the interior. I have printed everything, ranging from designer bags to glass to furniture in this sale, and I am not enough to recommend it. Not to mention, like someone who likes the interior, I like to peek in beautiful homes in my city (Hello, Mansion Sales!). If you want all Deet about how to print your own extraordinary land sales findings, you have come to the right place. Read on all the tips and tricks that I learned from shopping for shopping plantations for the past year.

What is plantation sales?

Plantation sales are a way to liquidate family or plantation goods. This sales are usually held on weekends and are far wider than basic page sales. Shopping is basically like walking through a furniture house where everything is sold. You will find a variety of items to buy, including clothing, furniture, decoration, art, and even household items such as cleaning products and toiletries. To find sales in your area, you can search with postal codes on sites -Sites like estatesales.net. Every list will share pictures of some items sold so you can feel before you leave. I also participated in some of my favorite real sales companies on social media and recommended to find accounts that share sales in your area.

How to shop for estate sales

After you find the sales that are interested in, the pleasure begins! Especially if you are a first shopping, it will be very helpful to find out what is expected. This is what must be known before the sale of shopping plantations:

Get ready for the crowd

In my experience, if the sale includes a lot of high -class items (such as clothing and designer accessories), I anticipate the crowd. Most of the time, you can run directly to sales, but popular sales operate based on whom the first comes, served first. Many companies will have a registration sheet at the door, so if you see the crowd, don’t just queue up to the front and place your name on the list!

Carry cash

I always re -check what type of payment received before I leave but usually carry cash. You can often pay with cards or even paypal or Venmo, but electronic payments sometimes come at additional fees. I suggest bringing cash to save a few dollars.

Have plans for larger items

If you are on the market for larger items such as furniture, bring your measuring ribbon. Know the dimensions of your home (and your car!) So you can be sure the furniture will fit, and be prepared to move your own items. (But if you need help, many plantation sales companies will have driving information on ready.) To claim your goods, ask someone who works on sales for stickers or labels € € € € € € € € € € € € € € € I once printed the beautiful Blue Gingham wingback chair on the sale of plantations, and believe me, it was a thrilling purchase.

Follow the etiquette of basic plantation sales

The etiquette of plantation sales is clearly something, but the good news is that most of them are common sense. Many sales will post a list of home rules in front, which usually includes things like there is no food or drink, not cutting lines, and respecting the house and others. This also helps to find out that the toilet is not available in this sale – I am always very tempted to drink coffee or drink that is fun before I leave, but I always wait until afterwards!

Understand how the price is working

Prices in plantation sales will vary. I always hope that the price for upper class goods is comparable to sites like Realreal, while regular sales are similar to the price of used goods stores. For the best price, I suggest going to plantation sales on Sundays, on Friday (or the first day of sales) might be better if you pay attention to something specific. Plantation sales will generally reduce their prices because every day passing on Friday is a full price, Saturday discount 25 percent, and Sunday discount 50 percent.

Know which items are forbidden

If you see a piece of furniture with a “dold” sticker, just leave it. Some sales also include retaining tables, so buyers do not have to carry their belongings with them, and shopping for the retaining table is clearly not. Certain sales are strict without negotiation rules, but if not, don’t be afraid to chat with those who make sales! Learning a little more about homes and goods -sales can be attractive, and you can even print some offers if you are not afraid to ask questions.

Shopping for plantation sales often

I have learned for the past year that every plantation sales are different. You will learn what kind of sales you like by going to them and also review them online. I have been to a very luxurious sales in the environment with large homes, as well as the sale of goods in a smaller environment. If you are hunting for designer or decoration and high-end furniture items, see the prosperous environment in your city. Or, if you are just looking for a lot, you might be surprised by what you find at a smaller home sales. Also, keeping it real, I have been to many DUDS all parts of the experience of shopping for plantation sales!

Overall, if you like to save money but never shop for plantation sales, I strongly recommend that you check it! I am selling almost every weekend, and that is a fun hobby even if you don’t buy anything. I have found a lot of excitement in decorating my house with used wealth, building a hosting cabinet with vintage glassware, and printing my first Louis Vuitton bag. You never know what you will find.
