Bargain Hunting At Estate Sales

By Freida Michael


You really love shopping for great quality, used articles and love to attend events that will provide you with exactly that. Estate sales in the town of San Ramon, CA, will have just what you are looking for and more. The interesting and unique items will continue to provide new owners with many more years of enjoyment.

There are some basic rules to follow in attending these events. Following these suggestions will save time and money as well as reduce your stress level while shopping for that perfect item.

The first rule of thumb is to arrive early. Showing up 15 to 30 minutes before it begins is a good practice. If they are not ready, do not annoy the individuals who are putting on the event. Wait patiently, but be one of the first through the door when the event starts on the first day. If you are not there early on, it may be best not to go at all on that day, unless you are one of those individuals who is looking for articles that no one else is.

If the event goes for more than one day, it may be to your benefit to arrive the next morning also. Often items are added to the function between the first and second day from other locations. The items offered are not always just the belongings of the previous homeowner but could also be pulled from the inventory from the business that is actually putting on the event. The last day and last hour of the sale can also be very lucrative. At this time, the company is not going to want to pack everything up and may drop the pricing dramatically just so they do not have to move and store the items.

Make a point to dress comfortably and wear sturdy, sensible shoes. Rubber gloves are a good idea if you are going to be searching through outdoor items that may have been left in the elements or have been in storage for a long time.

If there is an ad for the event, be sure to peruse it for items that you are searching for. If there are specific things that you are interested in, don't waste time in looking through other goods before locating what you are interested in. Someone else may get to it first, so be sure to make a beeline for it as soon as you can.

If you are interested in larger goods, have transport arranged in advance. You will only have a small window of opportunity to remove purchases from the area so it is best to be prepared. Ask friends or family who own a truck for assistance with this. If you don't have access to a truck or trailer, be sure to have a rental on standby.

Attending these events is so much fun. Go with a group of friends so everyone can assist in giving their opinions on the purchases. Your home will have an eclectic and unique decor that will stun visitors and you will be comfortable and cozy with such intriguing surroundings.
