Today's estate sale tip: Accounting
www.luckyrabbitestatesales.com
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.

Today's Estate Sale Tip, Marketing
Paul, how do you attract so many buyers to your sales?
The answer is fairly simple. Any good company knows the basics of advertising but it takes an extensive background in marketing to attract the right dealers and casual buyers. I learned quite a few marketing techniques during my lengthy career in the commercial real estate field. Those I will keep close to my chest. However, I advertise your sale in newspapers, and multiple forms of internet media outlets including lisaler.com, estatesales.net and of course on www.luckyrabbitestatesales.com. We also use twitter, Facebook, myspace, pinterest, angieslist, blogging and article publishing and a few others. No other estate sale company can match our social media campaigns. I provide all the services mentioned at no cost to you what so ever! Not one red penny!
Another key factor is my companies reputation. We are known to be straight shooters and we have great sales! Our subscriber list is modest 1,500 people and we attract hundreds of people at each and every sale we host. They come because they know that they can rely on us to have a sale that hasn't been previewed and picked over. Everything seen in the pictures on our website is guaranteed to be in the sale when the doors open. Some estate sale companies preview the heck out of the sales they host, leaving only the class "B" merchandise leftovers.
When choosing a company to handle your sale I suggest you ask them what their marketing plan is. You may be shocked at what you hear or at what don't you don't hear. Also keep in mind a majority of estate sale companies will charge you for all the advertising costs where we don't at Lucky Rabbit Estate Sales.
