How Do We Price

One of the most common questions we get is: "How do you price my belongings?" Our approach is to strike a balance that benefits both the final cleanout and the sale's success. Here's the reasoning:

• Higher Sales Mean Lower Removal Costs: The more items that sell at the estate sale, the fewer need to be removed and disposed of afterwards. Removal and disposal can be a significant cost, so maximizing sales volume helps keep overall expenses down.

• Market-Driven Pricing for Sales: We price items based on current market value in our local area. This means some items may be priced lower than their perceived value. We are very knowledgeable and we are realistic about pricing in our local area of Port Angeles, but it also means they're more likely to sell reducing costs at the end.

• Unearthing Treasures: We have a keen eye for spotting valuable items within an estate. These special pieces might be appraised, consigned to an auction, or sold directly to a private collector to ensure they fetch the highest possible price. At the end of the day we are paid on commission. And we rely on these high ticket sales to make our money.

• Holistic Approach, Maximum Return: We view the entire estate as a whole, not just individual items. This allows us to strategically price items to encourage overall sales volume while still maximizing the return on valuable pieces.

The Bottom Line: Our goal is to achieve the highest possible return for your entire estate by finding the right balance between selling quickly and maximizing the value of unique items.
