One more thing to remember about Estate Sales. In most instances, all the relatives and neighbors have been there long before you. Your chances of finding anything is really a chance.

Estate sales around here I've done fairly good at. I've made a few grand off estate sales 2 yrs ago but last yr didnt go to any was busy. Yeah its true relatives and neighbors look through the stuff before putting in the estate sale. I went to one and they had alot of sterling silver necklaces for 1-3 dollars a piece. I bought them all 11 ounces for 22 dollars. Then resold it next day 396 dollars.

Here's the thing about auctions. The items listed will sell for whatever people are willing to pay for them. That is the whole purpose of an auction.

A lot of the comments on here have me really scratching my head.

That is why I like going to really big sales. Sometimes they are pulling boxes out of piles that you can tell haven't been gone through in years. You can find some good stuff sometimes.
