Auction vs. Garage Sale

Simply put, an estate auction brings more profit to the seller than a garage sale.
The spotlight is on your merchandise instead of an item that has a price tag on it.
 For example, the garage sale lasts over a period of days and as the days
progress the prices of items are usually lowered. An estate auction is different in that the
price of an item goes UP instead until an ultimate high bid is determined!
When done in a respectful and dignified manner and marketed properly this auction
produces the best results for the seller.
