An auction is an event where items are put up for bid and sold to the highest bidder.  These items can range from jewelry, art, collectibles and antiques to general merchandise.  Auctions are a quick way to sell items.

Reasons to have an auction vs. estate sale:

1. 1. If you need to sell items quickly, an auction is the fastest way to get cash.
2. 2. Valuable items can be sold in our auctions regardless of the amount of personal belongings and collections you have to sell.
3. 3. In an estate sale prices are predetermined, whereas in an auction, items are bid on and prices go up gradually to what someone is willing to pay. Since it is difficult to estimate what someone is willing to pay for an item, predetermining a price can present its challenges and someone may not be willing to pay that price. Thus, in an estate sale items could go unsold. An auction ensures that all items will be sold.
4. 4. An auction is held and completed in one day with a large group of buyers creating a friendly competition and demand for the items being sold. An estate sale is done over several days where buyers come and go, and no real demand is created.

An estate sale is a sale conducted by reputable auction house. In general, estate sales are done to dispose of a substantial amount of belongings owned by a person who is recently deceased, or someone who must dispose of their personal property due to downsizing and moving. Unlike an auction, prices are set at a fair market value in advance of the sale by a professional..

1. 1. The estate sale professional will do the organizing, pricing and advertising for the event. This means less stress and work for you. Garage sales involve a tremendous amount of time and never bring top dollar or even fair market value for valuable items.
2. 2. Estate sales generally will sell items at a higher price tag than in a garage sale. You may not know what something is worth, but a professional auctioneer or estate sale professional will know when items are of high worth.
3. 3.Courts have ordered for the dispersal of personal property in an estate sale or auction.
