Estate sale of the decade!


Estate sale of the decade!
By: Paul J.Dunn

It is an honour to be organizing the most amazing estate-antique sale for both Tom and I.
We believe this is sale that you won’t believe!

Day One: We travelled to the house today to formulate our set-up plan.

We were there all day in this awesome 3 floor museum of 17th & 18th century items.
In formulating our plan we think about customer and employee safety, logistics and security of these very valuable items.

Day Two: It was time to put our plan into action!

We decided to start on the 3rd floor where we discovered many Victorian antique chairs; chaises, floor; table lamps, and chandeliers. We also found a cello which needs some TLC. We opened one box a we were amazed to see five 17th & 18th century antique wind-up toys, all in working condition! We opened another huge box which we knew was a painting but we couldn't believe what it was! It was 17th century painting by the renowned artist, Mario Nuzzi, or Mario di Fiori was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome. He was a pupil of the painter Tommaso Salini. He was among the first Italians specializing in still life painting of flower arrangements.

If the day wasn't exciting enough we unwrapped another box and found the 17th century secretary! Its absolutely gorgeous!

I was dizzy with the day’s discoveries, I had to get some fresh air where I had the pleasure of talking to the next door neighbour.  She told me a few stories about the gentleman who collected all these wonderful items we were uncovering.  He was very well liked and respected in this family oriented community.

Well, that was day one; I can’t imagine what day two has in store for us.

I will keep you posted on my blog!

Stay Tuned.

Larchmont Clean-Out Sale & Charity Drive


We will be kicking off 3 very important charitable drives at the upcoming clean out sale in Larchmont.
Please give from your heart. It doesn't take much if you have it!
 If you are in need we will be happy to help you any way we can.
 1. The Christmas Toy Drive: Please bring a new unwrapped toy for a boy or a girl to any of our sales. These toys will be handed out to sick children spending the Christmas holiday in local hospitals.
 2. Food Drive: We accept unexpired canned and dry goods at all of our sales. These items are donated to local food pantries that desperately need the donations.
 3. Winter Coat Drive: After watching the documentary about Father Mychal Judge, the FDNY Chaplin who was killed on 9/11, we have decided to try and pick up where he left off. I use the word “try” because he was a huge humanitarian force and outspoken advocate for the homeless and people suffering with aids and alcohol addiction. Few people can duplicate his spirit of giving but we’re going to try. We need winters coats in all sizes for men, women and children. Please make sure they are in clean wearable condition. The coats will be given out directly to the homeless by Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales staffers in and around New York.

Neponsit Estate Sale



9/16/2012





What a great day for an estate sale! 
We couldn’t have asked God for a better day.

I love the people of Neponsit! 
They have to be the most easy going and friendliest people in all of Queens! It must have something to do with living at the beach and all the fresh salt air.

They came in droves today, buying almost everything in this huge 3 bedroom home. It was packed with 1960's furnishings at opening but most locals returned to buy more items throughout the day and cleaning us out. We easily had over 400 people shop with us today, selling 1000’s of items in this charming home by the beach.

Both Tom and I were so happy to see so many of the same faces from the previous sale we organized in Neponsit back in June, as well as all our dedicated followers. Without wonderful people like you Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales would not be as successful as it is! Thank you to all our friends and supporters!

A special thanks to Judy Torre who made this sale possible. Thank's for all your help. We look forward to working with you again in the future. http://seniorserviceassistants.com/Home_Page.html

Bryan Reif and his cute side kick Bella from www.Lisaler.com came by to raise the flag and take some awesome pictures! As always we appreciate his time and support.

Thank you so much to Lynn for making that incredible lunch for all of us. You’re awesome! 

It was a lot of hard work for us and all of our staff, but this really was a particularly fun sale. It’s easy to have fun when you truly enjoy what you do.

At the end of the day it was a great sale for all including the home owner. We didn't meet their expectations, we exceeded them.

Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales Reviews


Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales Reviews


Good people, that's what I can say about Paul & Tom.  They really care about their work and the people they are helping.  I just had an estate sale for my father's house of 60 years; it was very difficult with this process especially being the house I grew up in.  Paul & Tom took pride and were very humble.  All I can say is thank you guys for all your help with this process it certainly made it easier for me.

I was fortunate to engage Lucky Rabbit Estate Sale Agents on the 16th and 17th of June of 2012 to liquidate my holdings of books, furniture, jewelry, antique lighters, objet d?art, reproductions of renaissance, costume/silver jewelry, household goods, impressionist and Vienna Secessionist art.  What was impressive about this company as represented by Paul J. Dunn Proprietor and his partner Tom  the pricing specialist, was their exhaustive knowledge of the provenance all kinds of objects and their attention to detail and painstaking care they took to price fairly and the care they took to display all the goods on sale to their best advantage.
I would unhesitatingly recommend Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales as a very professional, impressive and dedicated firm that works in the interests of the Seller. You would be fortunate in having them as a partner in any Estate Sale that you might bring to market in the near future.

Dear Paul and Tom
Thank you for handling the estate sale at my co-op in Bronxville, NY this May. 
From the start, I was impressed with your professionalism, knowledge and honesty.  I would highy recommend you to anyone planning a sale.  The manner you displayed the items for sale was appealing which greatly contributed to a successful sale. 
Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales is a great company and I wish you future success.

Paul and Tom ran my tag sale with great success! This wasn?t a regular sale by no means, all of my possessions were very upscale designer items. (Jewelry,  Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Tiffany) They priced everything correctly and I was extremely pleased at the end of the day. I had no idea the total would be as much as it was.  They are experts at what they do!  Hire these guys and you will be as pleased as I was!

My wife and I were very pleased with the service we received from Lucky rabbit Estate Sales. They cleaned and organized my mother?s items so beautifully. They were able to attract over 400 people to the sale, resulting in selling around 90% of the house contents. Paul and Tom were nothing but professionals from beginning to end. We were so pleased we hired them for the clean out sale as well! Don’t hesitate to hire these guys! They went way above and beyond what was necessary.

I am the property manager of one of the largest commercial property portfolios (150 properties) in the western Queens area. I have been contracting Paul and his cleanout services pre Lucky Rabbit and have always been totally satisfied with him and his crew. He’s hands on and not afraid to get dirty. I would recommend his service to anyone.

Wow is all I can say! Paul, Tom and staff are awesome! They recently handled my father’s estate sale. It wasn't an easy sale either, they had to contend with the co-op boards many rules and regulations, despite this they did a wonderful job and I would recommend them without any trepidation's what so ever.

From Yelp.com



Am I writing the first review? I'm honored! These guys seriously saved my life. I don't know what I would have done without them. Anyone in the NYC area considering an estate sale - use Lucky Rabbit! 



While I was cleaning out my parents' apartment, I kept putting off figuring out the whole estate sale portion of it. The whole idea made me uncomfortable, and I was worried about the logistics. I fe
el so lucky that I ended up calling Paul and Tom at Lucky Rabbit...



They can identify seemingly any item, and are normal, cool dudes who run the sale like true professionals. They advertised well and attracted so many people to the sale. We made so much more money than I would have ever imagined, and things I would have thrown out ended up selling. In fact I guarantee before I talked to them I probably threw out at least $1000 worth of stuff that I thought was junk!

Their clean out services are better - and cheaper - than other services I looked into. And those are services that exclusively do clean out.

This is the first Yelp review I've ever written - that is how much I recommend Lucky Rabbit!!! They will make a bad situation much more bearable.

Paul and Tom are great!  They are very professional and also very kind and sensitive to the fact that estate sales can be a difficult time for those who have lost loved ones.   They really know their stuff and do a great job researching everything so that you don't get ripped off.  And they can also arrange to donate or haul out any items that do not sell that you do not want.  They work on commission so you don't pay anything up front - they just take a % of the total sales.  Overall, these guys are great and made the whole process incredibly easy!

Bensonhurst Blow-Out Tag Sale www.luckyRabbitEstateSales.com


A PLEASING WEEKEND IN SUNSET PARK

Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales

By: Paul J.Dunn

Wow! is all I can say about the people of this wonderful little neighborhood in Brooklyn. They made the sale very successful and profitable for the homeowner.

It was a pleasure to work with this nice family. We truly enjoyed getting to know them.

It amazed me how some cultures know very little about estate and tag sales. We were very pleased to introduce it to them. Word of mouth spread quickly throughout the community; we had 100’s of new inquisitive shoppers. Many of them returned several times on both days to shop with us. In addition we prepared a targeted ad campaign which was translated to traditional Chinese. Thanks to our innovative marketing techniques we now have dozens of new curious followers and subscribers to our website: http://www.luckyrabbitestatesales.com/

In addition to our wonderful hardworking staff ( Lynn, Stephanie and Lorrie) we had some very nice visitors at this sale. Bryan (www.lisaler.com) stopped by to raise the flag and make new friends. Of course he brought his sidekick Bella, she’s always a big hit and oh so adorable. I love the way she snarls at me.

We had two very nice graduate students from Columbia University doing a project related to estate sales. They’re doing a photo slide show with sound bites from the sale. I’m sure I’m over simplifying it but we enjoyed having them at the sale. I wish them the best of luck with the project! I know it will be great and I for one cannot wait to see it. We will post it on our website when it’s completed.

We also discovered an awesome butterfly tree right next door. Dozens of beautiful butterflies were feeding off the nectar of this tree. Bryan Reif got some great pictures of the tree. You can see them on our facebook page:

All in all it was a great weekend in Beautiful Sunset Park. We hope to do more sales there in the future.

Check out our upcoming sale in Bensonhurst.
