I sure could use some pointer and suggestions.
In our area, tag sales are still pretty uncommon. If you use the term "estate sale" in our part of the state, 99% of the time, you'll get a response "Who is the auctioneer?"
I've been buying at auction for years, but a new company in town is holding tag sales. I've been to all of them, which is about 12 sales.
The big problems that I have:
I generally make a pile of my picks somewhere in the garage. There hasn't been a sale yet that someone doesn't go through my pile while I am not looking. The pile is just too much to carry. I filled an S-10 and a full size Chevy sedan at the last sale, and couldn't believe it all fit.
I am also losing time carrying junk from one room to my pile. That is time that I am losing to pick and sort. I am also wasting time trying to keep others out of my pile.
How do you work estate sales? Where do you put your pile of junk? Do you carry a tote or a bag?
What is the earliest you've ever arrived at a sale before it opens?
I'd be more than happy to hear your suggestions and advice.
Thanks in advance!!!!
