To Get The Right Estate Sales Answers…

May 11, 2008

Ask the right Estate Sales questions…

It is important to have the right answers. Information concerning estate sales, is the key to making great decisions. It is through the asking of the right questions of an Estate Liquidator, that you will arrive at the best answers.

So I have written a list for you:

These are the best estate liquidation, and estate sales questions I can remember having been asked in the last 13 years. You can find them here at Estate Sales Questions.

I have visited, and read through a lot of estate liquidation websites. Most of these are trying to be informative. These estate liquidators are trying their very best to give their readers valuable information about their services.

However what most of these websites do is:

  1. Pose ten or more estate liquidation or estate sales questions.
  2. Answer their own questions.

These estate liquidation companies are giving you a few questions they think you should be asking, and then they give you their answers to those questions.

Seems like a bit of a “Production” to me…

Here are my suggestions for finding the right estate liquidation questions to ask, as well as a process for how to use the estate sales answers you get.

  1. Follow this complimentary Estate Sales Questions link.
  2. Follow the guidelines that you find there.
  3. Ask these questions of 3 different estate liquidation or estate sales companies
  4. Compare and contrast their answers.

Two Items of Special Interest:

1.) Painting By Snowflake: Here is a brief Bio excerpted from an email sent to me by the executor.

Snowflake was part of a group of very talented post-hippie-era gays who spent much time at the Ambush, which was far more of a cultural institution than it was a bar. They had art exhibits openings every two weeks. Chuck Arnett, who I referred to in my email to Gayle, was another regular and his gay leather mural at the old Tool Box appeared in Life magazine’s Gay in America special issue back in 1964 (I believe), and has become an icon.

Snowflake was the most artistic of the crew. He was also the consummate showman. His openings were always an event. One time he came dressed as Toulouse-Lautrec with top hat and monocle, and shuffled around on his knees all evening.

Descriptions of this painting:

Name Rainbow Cash Register:

The Ambush had a transom window over the door that the afternoon sun came thru’, & someone hung a crystal in that window. As time passed, other people added crystals, then it became a bigger deal, & someone built a frame to hold all of the hanging crystals, & then the frame was moved in front of the transom throughout the year so that the crystals always caught the sunlight. Jim said that when you stepped into the pitch black establishment (don’t know if the interior was painted black [YES], or just seemed that dark after coming in from the daylight), the bar would be bathed in rainbows from the sunlight hitting the crystals — hence the Snowflake painting ‘Rainbow Cash Register’ (can’t remember if that’s its ‘official’ name, or just what we call it). Jim said that from the place where Snowflake sat at the bar, that’s the view he would have had of the cash register, etc.

2.) Gay Viet-Nam Protest Poster – Protesting the Mai Lai massacre.
