A listings directory for estate sale companies rather than a shop: sale organizers post dates, addresses and photo galleries of entire houses, usually a few days before the doors open. Free email alerts by ZIP code mean you see the pictures of a 1940s bedroom set, a doctor's cabinet or a wall of old books before anyone queues on the pavement.
The economics are the appeal. Sales are cash and carry, and most companies discount to half price on the final day, when organizers would rather sell a wardrobe than move it. For a themed room this beats retail by a wide margin, provided you can attend on a weekday morning. Nothing is reserved, nothing is shipped, and the best pieces go in the first hour, so decide from the gallery which items justify the trip.
