Auction or estate sale? What’s the best way to sell off furniture and antiques?
We’re downsizing and need to get rid of some furniture and assorted antiques. Has anyone out there had experience dealing with auction houses or estate sale dealers?
Should we send the stuff to an auction house(some of the pieces are large)? Have an on-site auction? Have an estate-type sale? We’re trying to decide which way to go.
Thanks for your help!

List an Auction on that site in your area. That’ll help with advertising if you choose to do it yourself. Other than that I’ve never delt with an auction.
