Frequently Asked Questions

How much do your services cost?
Typically 40% of the total proceeds of the sale
Do you have others who help you?
Yes, a dedicated, friendly staff of four who have 50 plus combined years knowledge of antiques & collectibles.
What do I have to do to prepare for the sale?
Not much. The hardest decision you have to make is what to sell and what to keep! We arrange, price, and conduct the sale. It's our job to handle virtually everything from start to finish.
Am I better off giving my items away to charity?
In some cases you might be, however; many charities decline to take non cash contributions. Allowing BLVD Estate Sales to conduct your sale gives you the option of keeping a portion of the sales proceeds and donating the remainder to charity. It's the best of both worlds.
What happens to the items that do not sell?
Most times after the sale, We can arrange for what is left to be picked up by Goodwill or another charity.
Should I try to conduct a sale myself?
Possibly, if you are up to the task of organizing and pricing all the items you wish to sell and if you know the value of what you are selling. You will also need to know how to advertise effectively and, of course, how to conduct the sale! It's a pretty big job, and it's not as easy as one might think! In addition and on a more personal level, it's often difficult for family members to sort through and sell items that once belonged to love ones. Being aware and sensitive to this fact; we focus on the task at hand and get the job done in timely, efficient and respectful manner!
