Today's estate sale tip: Accounting

Paul, how do you handle the cash coming in at the sale? We write double copy tickets for all merchandise sold. One copy for the buyer and one copy for you. This way you have a detailed accounting of everything sold. Some estate sale companies just stuff the money into there own pockets with no accounting what so ever. This leads to skimming and believe it does happen more often than not. I personally set up your house and mark almost everything with a price tag. In addition Everyone on my staff is seasoned and experienced in pricing items but no one but the cashier collects the cash and makes change. The cashier happens to be my father and is accountable for the cash box at all times. You should beware of companies where only one person prices off the top of there head and collects the cash, it's a red flag. At the end of the sale my partner, Tom, or I handle the accounting with you present at all times. We even welcome you to stay at the sale and keep my father and the cash company.
