The popularity of estate sales continues to rise year over year. For many, it’s become their weekend shopping destination, with most shoppers looking for everything from furniture, artwork, decor, housewares and kitchenware. Some even look for cars, guns and jewelry. Estate sale days often bring a frenzy as shoppers and dealers search for good deals on an assortment of items. As some estate sales come to a close, you may even be able to find deeply discounted items on the last day. One of the biggest problems shoppers continuously state is “how to find an estate sale?” This page will show you avoid this common issue.

Local-Estate-Sales---Newspapers-

Local Estate Sales – Newspapers

Most newspapers have significantly reduced their print distribution in favor of online publications. In small cities, however, daily or weekly newspapers are still prevalent. These local newspapers typically maintain a decent online presence as well.

Circulation

Check the classified section of your local daily printed newspaper on the day before the sale. Most estate sales, also known as “estate auctions,” “tag sales,” or “moving sales,” begin on Friday, so check Thursday’s paper.

Most papers are published on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. These publications should allow you to find most upcoming estate sale listings before the weekend.

Online News

Your local paper typically offers classified ads online as well. Look for the local estate sales advertisements in the days leading up to the sale, specifically on the Thursday before. If the paper only publishes online once a week, the ads should be available on publication date.

Community Bulletins

Bulletin boards are not as popular as they used to be, but in some neighborhoods, they still play a small role in advertising estate sales. When you visit a grocery store, library, or any other popular local venue, look for the bulletin board to discover any local estate sale listings.

Cynthia MeyerCynthia Meyer ★★★★★ Although paring down and "getting rid of" all your stuff is quite emotional and not for the faint of heart, Estate Pros made the process professional, quick, and compassionate. Letting go is not easy. They made it OK. If you are faced with the decision of paring down, moving or dealing with a whirlpool of sadness oreven excitement for that next adventure, you might want to consider Estate Pros. They will give you confidence in your decision and when the job is done - whether an estate sale or the full house donation process, you will not only have a clean house, you will also have a new peace of mind.Response from the ownerThanks Cynthia! We appreciate you using our Express Liquidation Services! Q ZQ Z ★★★★★ Estate Pros are absolutely amazing to deal with. Emptying out years of furniture and just 'stuff' is a very stressful experience and Jon Tamlonovich, the owner, is very professional and makes it emotionally manageable and easy. Really easy! Just tell them what you want to get rid of and they show up with men and trucks and for the items to be donated to charity they bring the Habitat For Humanity people with them at the same time. Jon can then give you a "qualified appraisal" so that you can take a tax deduction on your next tax return. They provide the ultimate of 'one stop shopping', delivered on time and professionally. I could go on and on and on, but suffice it to say if I could give them and Jon ten stars I would!Response from the ownerThanks QZ! Chuck DeprezChuck Deprez ★★★★★ Estate pros was great to work with, I’d recommend them to my friends and family.
