An estate sale is a type of sale where the belongings of a person, often due to their passing or relocation, are sold to the public. This sale typically includes a wide range of items such as furniture, antiques, collectibles, and household goods. Estate sales are usually conducted by professionals who organize and manage the sale process, ensuring that items are displayed attractively and priced appropriately. These sales can take place in the person's home or at a designated location. Buyers often attend estate sales to find unique items at lower prices than retail. The process allows families to clear out belongings while providing an opportunity for others to purchase valuable items, often with historical significance or sentimental value.
