We DO NOT sell to our staff, our friends or family. The only items removed from the estate are those items the family wishes to keep.
Though often times, estate liquidators will pre-sell, pick over, and deplete valuable items from the estate sale before the public sale, this should not be common practice. Be sure to ask, when choosing your liquidator, if the company allows pre-sales to staff, owner, family and friends. Pre-selling is not beneficial to the the client or the integrity of the public sale.
