Auction it!

If consignment isn't the right answer for selling your furnishings (perhaps there are lots of collectibles, or an estate to sell), you might want to consider auctioning the goods.

Linda Welsh Auctions is a local firm which focuses on real estate transactions, but they have access to auctioneers who specialize in personal property sales. They can incorporate Internet bidding along with a live auction, or just do Internet. It's a great way not to have to handle the items. Viewing of merchandise is done on-site, the auction is on-line, and then pick up is on-site: hassle-free and great exposure. Linda's contacts include auctioneers who will come and inventory, tag, lot, take photos - even pack up and store items for a later live auction if needed.
