Vintage estate sale finds that look $$$ 👀

Estate sales are my jam! I actually had a friend who had an estate sale business and I got to help out with some sales and got to pick out items beforehand! It was so fun and amazing to see all the vintage and beautiful items people had stored away!

I usually don’t like to spend a lot of money for furniture or decor pieces because I know an estate sale can have way better prices than buying something brand new! And the uniqueness of pieces is crazy! There are always so many treasures a home can hold.

Estate sales are usually held for 2-3 days. My big tips is to go on the last day. Usually these sales will chop off 25-50% off of items because everything had to go.

Also I’d look for unique pieces and older items. Just because these are usually better made and there will most likely be nothing else like them. I also would make sure to check cleanliness of items and smell. Or you can ask if it was a non-smoking house or if pets were there.

Usually estate sales are good about having items clean and the home clean. So i recommend them for those who find garage sales to usually be disappointing.

You can also find and follow estate sale businesses in your local area! They will give updates on special pieces in the sale and when certain sales will be. So I’d recommend following some in your area! 🎉

From vintage mirrors to antique furniture, there’s a treasure trove of items waiting to be discovered. Many shoppers prefer these sales over traditional retail as they offer distinctive pieces that bring character and charm to any home.
