Online Estate Sales vs. In-home Estate Sales
Estate sales have been traditionally held on-site in a person’s home, but we also understand that modern shoppers need more convenient alternatives. That’s why we offer both online and in-home estate sales to fit your schedule and shopping habits.
Online Estate Sales
Our online auctions allow you to shop from the comfort of your home. Browse listings, place bids, and win items without ever leaving your couch. You don’t even need to sit at your computer. You can activate auto-bidding and the system will update your bid by a certain amount until you reach your budget threshold (or you win).
It’s perfect for:
- Busy schedules. Bid whenever you want from wherever you want: at home, on the bus, or in line at the grocery. Online listings are available 24/7 and automated bidding let’s you participate while you sleep.
- Shopping specific items. If you’re looking for second hand hockey equipment, just log on to any online auction platform and type it into the search bar. You’ll then be able to find any auctions in your chosen area that have one listed for sale.
- Detailed item photos and descriptions. Know exactly what you’re buying before you bid. Every listing will have high-quality photos and detailed item descriptions so you know what you’re bidding on and how much it’s worth to you.
- Simple and secure transactions. Payments are handled online by the auction platform. Multiple payment options accepted. Pickup for most auctioned items is in person to eliminate the risk of loss or damage while shipping.
In-home Estate Sales
If you’re the type to enjoy the atmosphere of a physical space and the thrill of browsing through items to find your own bargains, then an in-home estate sale is for you. These sales take place directly inside the property and allow you to inspect pieces more closely, ask questions of the owner, and enjoy the challenge of negotiating prices.
In-home estate sales are great for:
- Treasure hunters who get excited when they uncover something rare and unexpected.
- Antique lovers that want to examine their potential treasures in person instead of relying on an impersonal photo that may not give an accurate portrayal of the real thing.
- Bargain hunters that enjoy negotiating for the best deals.
- Curious shoppers who want to experience the vibe of an estate sale for the very first time.
Many White Rock shoppers choose both options to maximize their finds and also what they can manage based on their own busy schedules.
How Does an Online Estate Sale Work?
If you’ve never tried an online auction, don’t be intimidated! It’s actually easier than you think.
Here’s how we do things at West Coast Downsizing:
- Find your auction. Our website has a list of all our available auctions and their pickup locations, so you can find one that works at a time and place right for you.
- Browse the catalog. We post clear photos and detailed descriptions of every item being sold in the auction, as well as the recommended starting price.
- Create an account. Starting an account on LiveAuctionWorld is easy and fast. No need to submit payment info yet—that happens after the auction has concluded.
- Place your bids. Once the auction starts, place your bid. Don’t go all in yet—someone may try to outbid you!
- Watch the countdown. Now you wait until the bidding period concludes. You may have to re-bid every once in a while if someone tries to outdo you.
- Win and pay for your purchase. Congrats, you won! Now it’s time to pay for your item and schedule a pickup.
- Schedule pickup. Pickup locations are only handed out once the payment is confirmed to go through. All pickups are supervised by auction staff.
How Do In-Home Estate Sales Work?
Our in-person estate sales feel like a curated pop-up shop inside a home: quaint, vibrant, and exciting.
Here’s what to expect:
- Staged for shopping. You’re here to shop, so we move things around to make browsing easier. We organize items in a way that makes sense for the layout of the house and to minimize any traffic jams from all the shoppers.
- Clearly priced items. All items will be clearly priced, but don’t let that stop you from trying to negotiate a better one. Everyone loves a bargain!
- Helpful on-site staff. Estate sale staff as well as the estate owners will be on hand to answer any questions and mediate any disputes.
- Controlled traffic flow. This isn’t a flea market with unorganized mobs. For everyone's safety and comfort, access to the estate sale is controlled through a first-come, first-served basis or by appointments.
- Safe and efficient checkout. Our staff are 100% professional and handle any financial transactions with care and responsibility.
