Privet Estate Sales

Our Services

At Privet Estate Sales, we’ve been providing expert estate sale, online auction, and cleanout services since 2016. Whether you’re downsizing, managing an estate, or looking to sell valuable items, we are here to help every step of the way. Our team is committed to making the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Estate Sales

We specialize in organizing and managing estate sales for individuals, families, and businesses. We handle everything from pricing and organizing items to promoting the sale to potential buyers. We ensure your sale is professionally managed, with a focus on maximizing the value of your possessions. We offer expert guidance on pricing and valuing items to ensure you get the best return on your sale. Our team takes care of advertising the sale through various channels, including social media, email newsletters, and local listings, to attract the right buyers. On the day of the sale, we handle all the details, ensuring a smooth process for buyers and sellers alike. We understand the emotional and financial importance of an estate sale, and we strive to make the process efficient, respectful, and profitable for you.

Online Auctions

For clients looking to reach a larger audience, we offer online auction services, providing a convenient and effective way to sell valuables and collectibles from the comfort of your own home. We take care of everything from photographing your items to listing them on the auction platform. You’ll have professional photos and descriptions to attract potential buyers. Once your items are listed, bidders can place their offers, and the auction will run for a set period. We handle all the technical aspects of the bidding and timing. Once the auction closes, we manage payment collection and arrange for shipping or local pickup for the winning bidders. Our online auctions are a great option for clients who want to reach a larger pool of buyers and maximize the sale of high-value or specialty items.

Consignment Store

In addition to our estate sale and online auction services, we also offer consignment services at our storefront location. If you have valuable items you’d like to sell but prefer not to handle a full estate sale or auction, consigning them through our store is a great option. We accept a variety of items for consignment, including furniture, antiques, art, and more. If you’re unsure whether your item is a good fit, we’ll be happy to discuss it with you. Once your items are accepted for consignment, we’ll display them in our storefront and online, ensuring they’re seen by potential buyers. We have a professional stager on staff who expertly arranges and stages items to enhance their appeal, ensuring they’re presented in the best possible light to aid in the selling process. We price items competitively to ensure they sell quickly while making sure you receive a fair percentage of the final sale price. We handle the sales process, including pricing, marketing, and transactions, so you can sit back and relax.

Why does the closing time keep extending at the end of the auction?

The timer keeps extending at the end of the auction due to a feature called a "soft-close." This means that if a bid is placed in the final few minutes of the auction, the closing time is automatically extended by a few more minutes. This ensures that other bidders have a fair chance to respond to last-minute bids, preventing someone from winning by simply placing a bid at the very last second. The timer will extend as long as new bids are placed during the final moments.

Why do I keep getting outbid right away?

Auction Ninja’s automatic bidding feature allows bidders to set a maximum bid amount, and the system will automatically increase their bid to the next increment whenever they are outbid, up to that maximum. Here’s how it works: When you place a bid, you can choose to enter a specific amount, or you can let the system know your maximum bid—the highest amount you're willing to pay for the item. If another bidder places a bid that’s higher than your current bid, the system will automatically increase your bid by the next available increment, without you having to manually place a new bid. This keeps your bid in the lead, but only to the extent of your maximum bid. Once your maximum bid is reached, the system will stop bidding on your behalf, even if another bidder places a higher offer.If you’re outbid, you’ll receive a notification and have the option to increase your maximum bid manually if you wish. This system helps reduce the need to constantly monitor the auction and manually adjust your bid, while also keeping the process fair and competitive for everyone involved.

What is the Buyer’s Premium?
The buyer’s premium is an 18% fee added to the final hammer price of the items you win at auction. For example, if you win an item with a bid of $100, a buyer’s premium of 18% ($18) will be added, making the total cost for the item $118. This fee helps cover administrative costs, platform fees, and ensures that we can continue to offer high-quality estate sale services and auctions. We are transparent about the buyer’s premium, so there are no surprises at checkout. If you have any further questions about the buyer’s premium or how the auction process works, please don't hesitate to contact us!
