Episode Notes

How do you feel about pricing all those items in your estate sales? If you’re like most estate sale business owners, pricing can feel like a never-ending headache.


But - no matter how painful it is, the right pricing is key to a successful estate sale. What would be helpful is a way to simplify the process.


In this episode, we cover a way to do exactly that: simplifying estate sale pricing. It’s an approach that leads to less problems and more profit!


Pricing can be one of the most time consuming and frustrating parts of preparing for an estate sale.


Part of the pricing challenge lies in the great variety of items you’re expected to sell. One estate sale might include high-end furniture, fine art, and expensive collectibles. And the next sale might be at the other end of the spectrum: budget furniture, reproduction art, and low-value decor. Sometimes there’s even a mix in the same sale!


Your pricing schemes need to be flexible enough to handle the range of sales you deal with. You need a strategy and practices that speed up the process and insure the best results.


In this episode, we share a six part system for quicker, easier and more profitable pricing.

Episode Notes

Many Estate Sellers figure that there are only two effective ways to attract buyers to their sales: advertising and signs. But there are drawbacks to these methods. Advertising is expensive. Signs only work if the sale is near high traffic roads.


There’s a better way.


It’s called a “community of buyers.” You build your own community of buyers. Once you do, you can count on them to show up at your sales.


In this episode, we talk about exactly what a community of buyers is and explore why and how it can be so beneficial to your estate sale business.


After that we share specific ideas and methods you can use to to build your own community of buyers.


And finally, we pass along some tips that can help transform that community from buyers into raving fans.
