A Few 'Details'... concerning The May 2 - 5 Estate Sale. {You can scroll down through the blog for images, or see 'Simply Iowa' on FB }
Will be updating this Evening.
Please note, this is a Tag Sale, not an Auction.
Everything will be priced, there's no 'bidding' involved.
; )
Cash and Cards are accepted.
There are no early sales.
Be prepared to Dig!!
There's Many Layers at this Sale.
; )
The Home is FULL, so will probably let 15 people inside, at the beginning of the Sale, then as people spread out, we'll let more, and more... in.
We hand out 'Entrance Order Numbers' at 8:30 a.m. on the 2nd.
{and on the 5th., which is 50% Off Day}
It's my opinion, if you want to be in the first group, or, inside... fairly early, to get there before 8:30.
Don't know when people will start lining up to get an Entrance Order Number, but...
I've been known to 'camp'... at an Estate Sale for 3 days, to be #1.
; )
{there was some AMAZING Antique Garden pieces, at that sale. 'Once in a Lifetime' kinda stuff. Got it all bought. That Sale... was Fun!! : ) Once others heard I was waiting... the first night, Many 'Joined' me, on the porch of that Big Victorian Home, the next two nights.
: )
The Race Was On!!
; )
The people who lived across the street from That Sale... many years ago... asked us what we were doin'. : )
Hahahahahaha!!
{They thought we were All Crazy!! {which... we kind of are. : ) }
They brought us cots, bedding, coffee... rolls, and all sorts of Food!!
<3 <3 <3
Don't foresee 'that' at this sale, but... people often get to these sales early, line up... to get an early entrance number, at 8:30.
Some Folks... don't care about getting there early, figure if it's meant to be... they'll get what they want.
If they miss it, no big deal.
Half Price Day... Folk's will line up again, first thing in the morning, to scoop up the Bargains.
; )
{better be careful... about waiting, tho.
Often... what people wait for... is long gone, by Half Price Day.
It's a Gamble. : )}
The 1950 Oldsmobile will not be discounted,
however... we will consider offers, should it not sell for the asking price.
; )
Better get Crackin'!!
