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.

Following some simple and basic rules will give you much more success during your excursion. They will save you money, time and stress and will help you find that perfect item for your home.

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.

Be sure to wear comfortable attire and shoes. Rubber gloves may be a necessity if you handle lawn and garden items that may have been exposed to pests and the elements. Always use great caution when handling these articles as you don't know where they might have been.

You may get a good idea of what exactly is there at the event from an advertisement that is put out. If you have something in mind to purchase, don't waste valuable time perusing other items when you first arrive. Quickly find the item that you are looking for and assess whether or not you want to purchase it. If you don't find it right away, someone else may beat you to the punch.

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.
