Hoarders Tag Sale Brooklyn, New York 11226

Hoarders Tag Sale
Brooklyn, New York 11226
7/27/13


This large Brooklyn home isn’t quite as bad as you might see on cable. The homeowner didn’t fill this massive 3 floor (plus basement and garage) home with garbage, quite the contrary!


She has an amazing mix of items from very cool “madmen” type floor ashtrays to barware of the same era. We also have a quite a few mid-century tables, lamps and accessories. Who knew you could find stuff like this still at a tag sale in Brooklyn, New York.


It’s incredible to see so much stuff in one place. 100’s of new small appliances in the box, names like Cuisinart to Rachael Ray and almost everything in between. Need a brand new bicycle in the original box; we got a dozen or so! Maybe you prefer vintage bicycles; we got a few of those as well.


Looking for a father-son project car? We have a 1973 Dodge Dart sitting in the garage with all the tools you might need to bring it back to its original glory.


So far we’ve only spent one day setting up this huge home (like only we can) and we are astounded by the awesome things we’re finding. I know you will be too!


Most of you reading this are our regulars and I’m sure you will agree that no one can compete with Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales set-up when it comes to hoarders homes. It is one of our many specialties in the field of estate liquidation. Admittedly we love the challenge it presents.

I will be adding new pictures very soon so stay tuned. Oh and we discovered that the old A/C’s are still cranking out cold air! Good news for all!

What is an estate or tag sale?

What is an estate or tag sale?
Paul J. Dunn
Sometimes I’m shocked by the number of people who don’t know what an estate or tag sales is.  I even run into new real estate agents here in New York who have no clue and never heard of such a thing. A few of them have told me that they usually have the homes cleaned out of everything! Can you imagine the valuables that are ending up in the garbage or the clean-out companies pockets?
This is where a professional estate sale company like Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales comes in handy. Our free consultation and fair appraisal of your estate is beneficial to the heirs and also the memory of the family member who may have passed away. Don’t let their memories and years of collecting go in the garbage when they can have a second cherished home.  
We professionally organize estate and tag sales all over the New York City area. We serve Manhattan, Westchester, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau and Suffolk County’s.
Estate Sale: The most common reason for an estate sale is the death of the property owner, and the consequent need to quickly liquidate the deceased's belongings. The survivors may have no interest in the bulk of the personal belongings left by the deceased, or may simply lack space to keep the belongings. In situations in which the survivors cannot agree to the disposition of tangible property, a court may order the goods to be sold in an estate sale with the proceeds to be divided among the survivors. Such a sale and division may also be mandated in the will of the deceased.

Tag-Moving Sales:  A tag sale may occur because the property owner will be moving or has moved into a situation where he will be unable to keep his property—for example, a move to an assisted living facility, a retirement community, a rest home, or other living quarters.
