This really turned out great in the end. Puts me in mind of one estate sale I took my mom to downtown. The family owned 5 houses on one property and they were all full to the gills. I kept thinking the lady never missed a sale, clothing, cloth, purses, shoes, food you name it she had it. The last day they had a push, pull, or drag sale. Everything you could get across that line in one fell swoop $10, My little PT was stuffed lol. Inside and outside, put mom in the car and put more stuff in where she was. Had so much fun that day, was a great time. You have a great day,
I agree with you George on it being a lot of work. I'd like to add it's also a thinking persons work. You're not digging a hole, all due respect to hole diggers! 🙂
@@TheAntiqueNomad So happy for you and to see a bit of Florida I know not al all... thanks for that..and just to see how one does it...oh my heavens...
I've learned so many words already from this channel. Spinet table, tantalus... I've never seen anyone with multiple decanters. And I always used to hear my parents calling it a "Florida room" without knowing why. Now I know :)
general estate sale strategies...I sell tons of stuff by doing well marked box lots....when the sale is over if you contact folks who have spaces in antique malls I sell entire rooms of stuff for one price........everybody wins.....left over furniture sells quickly via market place of craigslist....as far as letting go of things....you have to accept that some people will get steals...not just deals in order to clear out a house.....and wishing you a Merry Christmas.....!
That's right! All very good strategies. I do those things if I can or if I have to clean out afterwards... I even had a free day after one hoarder sale
Amazing house and it's contents. What happens the remaining jewelry?Did you purchase any for your booth? GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!!
When will your next KY sale be? I love the riverboat casino in Indiana that I believe is not too far frI'm you, and much closer to me than FL. I'd love a road ASAP lol. Cabin fever is sitting in. BTW, I wouldn't hate it if you had to bring the Russian tea set with the pumpkin color applied back to KY. I'm digging that set.
I thought that was the best set and unfortunately so did the buyer! It went to a good home. I hope to have an estate sale in KY this spring. You can go to Western Kentucky Estate sales website to sign into my email just and I'll notify you when
@@TheAntiqueNomad Will do. Look forward to it. BTW, I lust of many pieces of glass, but a tea seat has never been one of them. Don't drink the stuff, or coffee. However, that one...hmm. I think these days I'm digging that Finland/New Finland/Norway..you know...the lines. And I'm Hillbilly Boho, go figure. The aging process is a trip lol. Thx for responding George.
Your "Florida Room" is called an "Arizona Room" in AZ of course. I wondered if other states did that too. Funny. Great video, I sure wished I lived closer. I would have picked up a lot of things at this sale!! What fun.
Funny story..... there is a chirping fire alarm in this video. We had to replace a battery in one of ours yesterday and while watching this video we kept pausing trying to find which of our other alarms also needed a new battery..... ended up replacing ALL of the batteries! Once back to the video... we kept hearing the occasional chirp... DUH... it was in the video! Oh well.... it needed to be done. Perhaps George just saved our lives.... LOL. Love your videos.
That is funny and thank you for the chuckle. The smoke alarm in our kitchen is so sensitive that even cooking can set it off. So now it sits on top of the refrigerator and when cooking sets it off, we take it outside to calm down. And we lower the heat on the cooking pot.
I wish I live in the area, I would love to come by, you and your staff’s did an awesome job.I enjoy your videos I always learn something new every time.
Great videos as usual George. I was surprised that Oleg Cassini jacket didn't sell. Curious what you did with it after the sale ended, I would think it would do good on the west coast. Happy holidays!
George, your hair looks great in the part of the video in which you're wearing your striped shirt & explaining aspects of the estate sale while sitting on the red couch. Loved that Lapis-looking globe, btw.
Oh, thanks! I haven't really adjusted to long hair but I'm growing it out to donate to cancer patients in honor of 4 friends of mine who are going through treatments now
Hi George! Green tags were 25 cents yesterday at goodwill. Last week they were only 50% off. Got the lamp I was eye balling for just a quarter lol. I just needed the wiring and lamp socket to fix my moms lamp which has sentimental value. Project already done. Super happy I waited and glad they still had it. Happy new year!
Hi, George. I have heard about you from Jocelyn The Crazy Hat Lady and have enjoyed your Estate Sale so much. I have given you a thumbs up and subscribed. I love Estate Sales but at the same time they make me very sad to see a family's lifetime collection of memories and belongings and that breaks my heart. I am 69 and ill and one day soon I am going to have to do this and I loved the way and you and your crew treated all the items with such love and respect. I live in Miami, Florida, do you come down this far? I don't have any junk but I do have a couple of rooms full of books and sewing related stuff like 11 sewing/embroidery machines and six large armoires full of cotton fabrics, etc I was so touched with your great care and respect that if anyone needs to sell all my stuff, I would feel so much better if you did it. That not going to be for a while yet, but I will keep your information for future use. Thank you, George. May God bless you and yours and I wish you a Blessed and Prosperous New Year full of health. TENSI
Hi Tensi! Jocelyn is so kind to mention me, she's really ambitious and was so fun to meet in person. I have held sales in Miami and while I hope you'll get to enjoy your things for a long time, I'm willing to help if you need
Thanks for the tour!! Looks like lot of work, but you and team did a great job!! Need someone to come and do this to my house (although I dont have nearly as much stuff)! I like the Marshall Field cabinet, I miss Marshall Fields here in Chicago!! That crystal chandelier is beautiful---wish I lived closer, would've been there!!
Thanks for your colossal efforts George. I recently had to change the battery on my smoke alarm in my home. That chirping alarm, that was present throughout your estate sale videos, was exactly the same as what I experienced when I put the wrong brand of battery in my device! In tiny writing , under the lid of the smoke alarm, it stated that it must be a Duracel or Energiser battery,& I had inserted a No Name one. The penalty was a device that chirped at me ,every 40 seconds, for nearly an hour, till I worked out the error. It must have been very frustrating for all concerned to have that going on in the background, for two weeks!
I feel for you after experiencing that every day! We tried the smoke alarm and then were informed it was the security system and no way known to stop it
@@TheAntiqueNomad Ahhh, ok. I think its really cool that you are willing to travel for them! Which explains your name the Antique Nomad. I am curious no more 😄 (And the late reply is because I just saw the notification you responded 😆😅)
That's how I felt after doing my pafents' estate. I had spent so many hours there getting ready for the estate sale that I did not want to touch anything afterwards. I was DONE! lol. I'm glad it was a good sale for you. I'm so grateful for your help on mine.
Great seeing how an estate sale is orchestrated. Wonderful to see how much you care about your clients. That's alot of work. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe and Merry Christmas 🎄
It really is! I appreciate your comment, I really do try to take care of the clients the best way I can, and the shoppers as well because they're our customers. It's a balancing act but I enjoy it
Hello there, this was extremely interesting due to the huge hoard. You did so much work, I pray that the family was grateful, and you sold tons. Great job all your hard work payed off. Wow I was blowned away by the organization and display, I see why you get great jobs. Thanks so much for sharing and taking time out at such a hectic and busy (consuming) time!!!!!!!!🥰
Do you buy things before the sale? Or do u wait until after to purchase what’s not been sold? Or do u not buy things from clients? If you ever do one of these in Houston or surrounding area, I’d love to be part of your crew! I know it’s hard work, but it’s so cool! Great job on this house! It was huge the undertaking of it!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, nice to see your comment. I generally don't buy before the sale, it creates a conflict of interest...if there's just a lot of the same thing, then I'll make an exception if the client and I agree first. I usually buy nothing until half-off day, I figure that way everyone else had a chance at it first!
I can't understand how the owners stored, used, could find where they put or came to own so much stuff. You and your team are definitely professionals.
It's been so educational and enjoyable. Are you able to purchase on your own account, or is that conflict of interest? Hope you get some rest, a great christmas meal and perhaps some presents.
It is a conflict unless arranged prior to the sale with the family directly. I usually don't buy out of my sales until everyone else has had a chance to buy it, unless there's just multiples of the same thing enough for everyone to have
The sale will be in Centralia! It's a good looking collector's home. You can sign up on my email list at CompleteEstateSalesNW.Com and I promise I'll tell you but not spam you
Well George another good one, you should be proud of yourself. You sold so much for that family, made there money and some for your work and a real good video! 🎅🎄🎁🌼
would you be interested in teaching someone how to get into the estate sale business the person who did it in my town passed from cancer I could really use some pointers
I loved this video series, I know you are busy, but you should check out Curiosity Inc RUclips channel! He is doing a hoarder house in Canada. You would like him and his adventures.
I would have enjoyed buying the Paris paintings, but I am thousands of miles away. Great job as always and thanks for walking us through this process. 💕
Great video George. Thanks for sharing!
George, love your genius and practality.
So pleased to hear of your musical experience.
Thank you for sharing your work!❤️
So many lovely things in this house.
Interesting folks.. lots of work for you. Nice job.

Oh my! I’m thinking of hours and hours of set up time!
300 total labor hours from start to finish! You can see in the two videos prior to this what it was like to dig through it
Thanks George!
Thank you!
Hi George. Loved this show. Looking and looking. Your information is great. Thanks.
Cool! Glad I could show you
Great job George.
Thank you, George! Great name btw
Yes, loved Captain & Tenille.
Love will keep us together!
@@TheAntiqueNomad
Think of me Babe, whenever....lol
I'm sure I'll watch this one again. Something to behold.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it me too
Great job!

Breath taking chandelier
That one was pretty!
really enlightening! enjoyed it

@@TheAntiqueNomad If you get any trench art or medals (all nations/wars) lmk.
Thanks for all your insights you pass along.
I want people to get what I do and why, I hope it helps people in ways yet unknown
JoAnn here- you, George.....are a true gentleman!!!!!
What a ton of work load. Congrats on the sale.
Thanks! It was a lot of work but worth doing
Amazing 👍
It was fun!
Great series..loved it
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
general estate sale strategies...I sell tons of stuff by doing well marked box lots....when the sale is over if you contact folks who have spaces in antique malls I sell entire rooms of stuff for one price........everybody wins.....left over furniture sells quickly via market place of craigslist....as far as letting go of things....you have to accept that some people will get steals...not just deals in order to clear out a house.....and wishing you a Merry Christmas.....!
That's right! All very good strategies. I do those things if I can or if I have to clean out afterwards... I even had a free day after one hoarder sale
This is what we call "diggers delight" in the New York Metro area.
Yes that's right! I like digger sales to shop, but I try to comb through the ones I do and organize as best as possible...this one was tough!
This was a great series! Thanks for the share. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you! Glad I could do it
This was an outstanding experience! I love a house just full of great adventures.
Me too!
Great job
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
@@TheAntiqueNomad i was tired after watching u lol
Hard to give up memories. But wonderful for others to enjoy
wow george ! eye opening on all fronts. you worked hard and earned your money. lots to learn in this video. thank you for showing us all this !
Cool! I did earn every penny on that one. I wanted to share so others can understand what we do
Great video George thanks !
Had fun with you in Chat
The Antique Nomad me too !
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
You know, you think of EVERYTHING!
I loove your videos!
😊 thank you I try hard, it's a fair bit of responsibility trying to make sure you're doing the right thing and being safe about it
Amazing house and it's contents. What happens the remaining jewelry?Did you purchase any for your booth? GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!!
It wasn't really my era of jewelry, I stick to pre-1980s mostly. I wholesaled the remainder to a repurposer

Had a little help with the hair! Happy Holidays to you
Wow...a ton of work but so great your crew was able to help those people out and get their lives a lot more streamlined. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you! I thought it'd be fun for people to see the process
What is your cut when you do an estate sale? Maybe I will hire you!
Typically about 35% depending on circumstances
This was so interesting to see how estate sales work behind the scenes. Thanks so much for sharing the process with us!
You are so welcome! I really enjoyed showing how it works
Your "Florida Room" is called an "Arizona Room" in AZ of course. I wondered if other states did that too. Funny. Great video, I sure wished I lived closer. I would have picked up a lot of things at this sale!! What fun.

When I lived in South Carolina I had a house with a Carolina room, so I guess other states do the same thing :-)

Wow amazing
It is great to see how much work goes into running estate sales. Thank you George, and Merry Christmas!
It's fun to show it!
Great job. I hope you made a ton!
Thanks, it was about normal for me and I'll take it!
Great stuff and reasonable prices!
We try to be sure the stuff goes home with people!
These people truly live to shop, probably every second of their lives!
wow what a job

I imagine it will be much improved by this time next year!
Great videos as usual George. I was surprised that Oleg Cassini jacket didn't sell. Curious what you did with it after the sale ended, I would think it would do good on the west coast. Happy holidays!

What would someone leave one chair behind?
