ESTATE SALE |
AUCTION |
VALUE |
At Family Affairs, we either KNOW or have RESEARCHED the value of your items so we don't have to guess their worth. |
Auctioneers DON'T need to know the value of your items. They let the buyers/bidders determine the selling price. |
PRICE |
We price and sell your items at a fair price. Our buyers are looking for amazing items at a fair price. |
Auction houses hope that there are at least 2 or more buyers interested enough in your item to drive it up to a fair price. Buyers typically have to pay a buyer's premium to the auction house as well so buyers must keep that fee in mind when placing a bid. |
TIME TO SELL |
3-4 days and in some cases even more time to find at least 1 (if not more) interested buyers |
It all comes down to the last seconds before bid close |
# OF BUYERS |
~1,000+ people come through the door of a Family Affairs estate sale. We have the best attendance in the state. |
30-40 bidders typically take part in an online auction |
SUMMARY |
WE HAVE CONTROL over what price your items sell at! We start high and can lower prices if needed. We can get you more money and more control. |
THE BUYER HAS CONTROL over what the final sold price is, not you and not the auction house. Most items sell but for extremely minimal prices. |
