Atlanta Georgia Estate Sales Personal Business Property Liquidator

Probably my most favorite thing we’ve found up to date.

1970s Charlie perfume product — wildly popular because of the onslaught of TV commercials showing supermodel Shelley Hack as irritating bon vivant tossing her hat to ecstatic nightclub valets and being the subject of songs sung by jazz pianists — came out with this “Oriental” offshoot, which, from a marketing standpoint, hit the ground like a safe. We found this INTACT gift pack at a recent estate sale! We sold it for a buck.

I like the second day of the sale, because the first day during the frenzy the top layer of stuff gets removed, revealing for the second day a whole new set of treasures! Take these 50s sexist pillow cases I found buried in the back of the linen closet! I mean, maybe the guy wants to be the Beauty and wear a bone in his hair. (Although it’s pretty progressive he’s holding a flower and wearing earrings.)

We ALWAYS have old doors for sale at our estate sales! Check out these amazingly creative ways to repurpose them!

Hollis here. Talk about repurposing! Someone cut up an old mink stole and made this teddy bear. I have to say, I did not find it very cuddly. Old mink is not that soft. And that bear has some major clown feet for paws. I would say I fall on the negative side of enthusiasm for this kind of project. I disdain at turning dead animals into toys, I don’t even like turning dead animals into food all that much. But to each their own! Cheryl here. Ahhh, Granny loved her furry mink memory stuffed Bear!! Look at him, he wants a hug.

We found this creepy doll at our last estate sale. I am a mother and Cheryl is an avowed NON-mother. She’s a wonderful aunt to my daughter Mae, make no mistake. But she does not want kids of her own, and dolls like this go MILES in supporting her life decision, she says. Hahahaha!

We had the COOLEST sale at a Buckhead mansion that turned out to be a time capsule inside. The place was build in 1921 and all the original iron architectural fixtures were either still installed or in the basement. There were tons of ornate floor registers, sconces, switch plates and doorknobs! Our esteemed customer Sally Brock nabbed three (three!) antique iron fireplace mantels and look what she did with them! She turned them into amazing yard art. How beautiful! What a creative idea! Thanks, Sally!

This is me and Cheryl in 1991 at our brother’s Halloween themed wedding! I’m on the left. Look what a hottie Cher is. She was a LAS VEGAS cocktail waitress back then! I made her costume. She was a Spanish peasant girl who crushed grapes with her feet. VA VA VOOM!!!! (P.S. I know it’s Sunday and not Thursday, but still.)

We found this bad baby by the back door weaving a giant web. I think he was aiming to catch our customers as they went inside. “If this works out, I’ll eat like a king!” he cackled. Then Cheryl threw herself on top of him to save everyone else. (Not really, she left him there untouched and loudly warned everybody who passed by, “Watch out for Spider-zilla there!”)
