What to expect on preview day

Most estate sales open the doors at 9:00 AM on the first day. Serious collectors and resellers usually start lining up an hour earlier — and for an estate of this caliber, expect a numbered list to circulate before the doors open. If you can't be there at the bell, don't despair: the truly desirable pieces (signed art, sterling sets, designer furniture) often sell on day one, but day two typically brings 25% off, and the final day brings 50% off whatever's left. The half-price-Sunday strategy is how a lot of vintage shops fill their inventory.

Bring cash for small purchases (most liquidators waive a card surcharge under $50), a tape measure for furniture, painters' tape and tags if you're tagging large items for pickup, and at least one helper if you're shopping for furniture. If you're a remote buyer, ask the on-site coordinator about same-day delivery providers — most established liquidators have a list of two or three local movers who specialize in estate-sale pickups.
