FAQ's for Buyers

We don’t have half price day. Never have never will. That is a yard sale practice or maybe more along the lines of a antiquated service that’s not in touch with today’s marketplace or Technology. We do our research and price at fair Estate sale prices. Proceeds for families are needed now more than ever. No price haggling with cashiers at check out.

Feel free to all me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Reliable Estate Sales

  1. We accept cash and good local checks with identification. We no longer take credit cards.
  2. Please DO NOT put items in your basket or on sold table unless you plan on buying it! When a item sits on the sold table for let’s say 45 minutes and then when you check out you decide you don’t want it after all, we have potentially lost a sale from someone who wanted to buy the said item has come and gone from the sale. It’s not fair to the estate or us.
  3. Discounts: On our 2 day sales discounts are from 11-1 on Saturday.  We do not have a fire sales with everything at 50% off.  We put a lot of time into the front end  and set up of our sales. Pricing at fair “estate sale” prices. Some items may be discounted from 20% up to 40%. Some items are not discounted at all.
  4. Please be aware we are conducting a estate sale NOT a yard sale! Families and individuals who are often trying to pay final expenses. Now days, between reverse mortgages, medical bills, credit card debt and funeral expenses, the proceeds from the sale are important to the families.
