Frequently Asked Questions

We hope this list of questions helps you, but if you need anything, please feel free to contact us!

  

 

Who needs an Estate Sale?  Anyone downsizing, relocating, moving, or liquidating a loved one's household. No antiques or collectibles?  That is OK. Everyday practical household items are also very popular. Everyone loves a good sale....and you will be surprised at what will sell!

What areas do you conduct sales in? The Vintage Girls conducts sales throughout Cherokee, Cobb, Clayton, Dawsonville, Dekalb, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, and Henry Counties. We also hold estate sales outside of the Atlanta metropolitan area (Savannah, Charleston, Macon, Charlotte depending on the "size of the Estate" and time permitting.)

How does an Estate Sale work?  The Vintage Girls provide all of the resources needed to sort, organize, display, research, price, advertise, and sell the contents of an Estate. We work with you, the client, and the sale customers to provide an enjoyable, secure, and profitable sale experience. Typically, we will start working in the home 1 week prior to the sale, depending on the amount of work that needs to be done. We will bring in tables, a small display case for jewelry and smalls, etc., and any additional items needed for setup. 

How far in advance do I need to book an Estate Sale?  It is recommended that you book 4 to 6 weeks prior to the sale, but sometimes we can take sales on short notice, so please contact us and we can discuss your specific needs and look at our scheduling calender. During the Fall and Spring, we normally book 6 weeks out, but often have 2 sales a weekend.

What is your commission?  The Vintage Girls charge a commission of the gross sales of the estate sales proceeds. Commissions in the Atlanta area range from 25% to 50% (depending on services performed) and we will be happy to discuss commissions and services with you in person. Commission fees are paid out of the sale proceeds. We do not charge any upfront fees.

What kinds of items do you sell?  Antiques, furniture, artwork, clothing, tools, appliances, jewelry, collectibles, garden equipment, and almost any household item from light bulbs to a broom. 

What advertising do you do?  We utilize the latest in Internet Marketing/Advertising, including photos, maps, social media and e-mails.  We write and place all newspaper advertisements in addition to sending an e-mail notification to our large data base of subscribers. Additionally, we post highly visible signs directing traffic to the sales.

What happens during and after the sale?  Normally people begin lining up at our sales about 30 minutes before the start of the sale, in order to be one of the first ones in the door. We allow in 20-25 customers at a time to ensure an orderly and secure sale. We have staff members posted throughout the home assisting customers with their purchases. Our cashier checks the customers out at the door, handling all necessary transactions. We have a professionally trained sales staff for all of our sales!

Do you sell EVERYTHING?  Although no Estate Sale Service can claim to sell 100% of the household contents, throughout the sale, we typically sell between 50-75% of the items for sale between the actual sale itself and our "after sale procedures".

What happens to what is leftover after the sale is complete?  We will discuss your options with you at your free consultation.
