How much will your service cost?
We are the most reasonably priced estate sale company in the Twin Cities metro area. Why? Because we are building a "pass it on" word of mouth reputation. We charge a flat $400 fee, plus $25/hour for set up, a sliding scale rate to the workers at the sale (mgr $22/hr, cashier $22/hr, others $17 hr), and the ad for estatesales.net is $79.
A very large sale might take between 20-30 hours to set up. A small to medium size sale would most likely take 15 hours to set up. We've had one sale that was very small and took only 5 1/2 hours to set up. The owner is a hard worker and gets quite a bit done quickly. She'll do her best to use the hours strategically.
Our sales typically run for two consecutive days from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. In the summer, Thursday and Friday sales get many shoppers, though we usually do Friday and Saturday sales. During the school year, we run Saturday and Sunday sales.
All of our workers are adults that the owner knows and trusts. The number of workers hired depends on the amount of items to be sold and the layout of the house/garage. A typical sale requires three people to run the sale smoothly.
If the client desires protection for carpet or hardwood floors, we will purchase rolls of floor shield for an additional fee.
We do offer pack up service during the summer and we know a few charities that are happy to come and pick up items that are in good condition. $35 per hour for pack up, plus cost of boxes, tape, and drive time to take items to the landfill if desired.
There may be furniture and other items that the charity chooses not to take. Those items and hazardous waste are the responsibility of the client to dispose of.
