For an on-line auction, a buyer can bid online on individual items from anywhere. We use the HIBID online auction tool. Found at Hibid.com For an Estate Sale, buyers come to a location on specific days and buy items for the price listed on the sales tag; there is no bidding against another buyer. More information on our estate sales can be found at Village Square Auctions in Burlington, NC (estatesales.net)

We will set up a consultation to discuss what items you are wanting to consign. We will come up with a plan to help you meet those goals. Any items brought to the warehouse for consignment must be clean. If items are brought in dirty we will charge a cleaning fee. This will be discussed during the consultation.
