TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RESERVING ITEMS YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BUYING
Please do not put items on the sold table unless you plan to purchase them. Please do not walk around the house holding tickets or items you are only thinking about. If you put them on the sold table we will count them as sold and treat them as such. Please, take extra time to decide while the item is in place before bringing it to the checkout. We would like to thank you all in advance for your cooperation and understanding of this matter.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL

Please take extra time to carefully inspect your items before you purchase. Once you have paid and left we cannot make any refunds or exchanges.

PAYMENT

We accept cash, credit cards (minimum 100.00 no American Express) There will be a 3% convenience fee added to all credit card transactions. Debit cards (minimum 50.00 no convenience fee added) and local checks. There will be a bank fee for any returned checks. The fee is based on the current bank fee we are charged for any bounced check.

PRE-SALE NUMBERS
Please note that this estate starts at 9am. We will hand out numbers at 8AM for people arriving before 9. People choosing to show up extremely early or camping out are responsible for keeping track of who showed up first. There will be a list that you will need to put your name on once you arrive. YOU CANNOT COME, PUT YOUR NAME ON THE LIST AND GO HOME. IF YOU LEAVE IN THE NIGHT YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST. We will not be staying up all night to keep order of the lineup. The list will be honored only for the people who stayed all night. So, when you arrive be sure to find the person with the list and get your name on it. We have had some complaints of the process of numbers. The best I can explain is this: When Best Buy has a sale on Black Friday there is always a line wrapping around the building. Although their doors don’t open until a certain time people choose to camp out and wait until they do. It is the same principle here. If people choose to rough it all night so they can be first in line that is indeed their choice. Our numbers are given out at 8am on Thursday & Friday and 9:30am on Saturday. We do not allow people to come, put your name on the list, leave and come back at a few minutes to 9am. Once you get our permanent number at 8am however, you can leave and come back to line up a few minutes before 9. The numbers are used to to keep everyone in order of entry and to keep track of how many are in the home. Sometimes we have to limit the amount of people we let in the home depending on how big or how crowded the house is. So, please understand if we only let 20-40 people in at a time. 
SALE DAY START TIME

We do not allow early sales and we start promptly at the posted time shown on the sale listing page.

PARKING

Always park on the side of the road the estate home is on only. Do not park on both sides please. We cooperate with local law enforcement. Please park according to city ordinances and do not park on people’s lawns or in the neighbor’s driveways. Also, do not double-park anyone in, or block mailboxes, or streets.

SHOPPING BAGS AND CONTAINERS

All bags and containers are subject to inspection. You can bring your own bags and boxes for shopping, however, we reserve the right to inspect them when you leave.

WRAPPING

We try to provide the service of wrapping glass for you, however, if we are in a shopping rush, you may have to wrap your own glass.

HOLDING ITEMS

We can not hold items for you prior to the sale that you see in our gallery online. We line people up according to their numbers. If you see something in the gallery you want to buy, we suggest you arrive early to get a good number. Also, if you have to leave during the sale to get money or for any reason, we can not set aside items for you to buy when you return.

LARGE AND HEAVY ITEMS

Please bring help to load your purchases. All purchases need to be removed by Saturday at 1pm.

CHILDREN

Most of our estate sales contain areas and content not suitable for children. Our sales can be crowded and contain a lot of glass items and stair cases. Children are welcomed, but you are responsible for any damages. We can not allow strollers or buggies inside because they block the flow of traffic through the homes.

PETS

Service animals only please.

We are a turn-key liquidation company offering estate planning, heir distribution, organization, pricing, set-up, staffed on site sales, clean-up and everything in between.

Remember – don’t throw anything away!  What you think is trash could be valuable!  We do all the sorting and cleaning for you!

FULL SERVICE

Estate Escape, LLC is located in Charlotte Hall, Maryland.  We cover Charles, St. Mary’s, and parts of Calvert County.

We are a turn-key estate liquidation company offering planning, heir distribution, organization, pricing, set-up, staffed on site sales, clean-up, clean outs leaving your home, outbuildings and attics completely clean and empty!

In most cases a two-week turnaround is all it takes, however, some estates may require additional time.

Can’t hold an on-site sale on your property?  No problem!  We have recently included buying out entire house contents no matter how small or large to accommodate our clients.   In most cases we can empty your property within a day, depending on the size of your home.

HELPFUL HINTS

Whether you choose us or someone else; remember these dos and don’ts:

  • Don’t throw anything away.
  • Remove all wanted items before calling a liquidator.
  • Don’t donate, pre-sell, or give away anything.  An estate that hasn’t been cherry picked makes a successful estate sale.
  • Check references of the last 3 completed jobs. Be sure to get the dates they were completed.
  • Don’t turn off heat/air because it causes damage to goods.
  • Don’t allow too much time to lapse; as it too damages goods.
  • Make sure you have an understood contract.
  • Remember, we work for you!
  • Visit our Q&A page to learn more.

WILL MY STUFF SELL?

Yes!  We have a large following and these types of sales attract shoppers looking for a variety of things.  

Fifty cents adds up to dollars, and dollars adds up to hundreds of dollars.   

It’s not just antiques that draw in shoppers these days.   Below is a sampling of items that attracts a large crowd.

We stage and clean everything.  We also publish a very nicely staged gallery and we market.

In addition to the household items, customers and collectors also attend estate sales looking for boats, cars and trucks, coin collections, gold, sterling, fine and costume jewelry, vintage and antique toys, guns and ammo, tools, lawn and garden equipment, just to name a few bells and whistles.
