We've sold everything from Lladros to Lamps this past month, continuing the debunk the "No One Wants Their Parents Stuff" and pianos being discarded in landfills themes in the media.
I thought you might find this article in the Washington Post (which mentioned MaxSold) relevant...
"...Within two weeks, the company prepared photos and descriptions of 300 lots of items, ranging from household supplies to the pool table; posted them on its online auction site; sold 95 percent of the lots; and on a single day required all purchases to be picked up by the buyers." (the pickup event is supervised by MaxSold when the MaxSold manged solution is chosen)
We demonstrated how MaxSold is reversing the trend leveraging auctions to sell practically everything with a 3-Step process in under two weeks. MaxSold was awarded the #1 Most Viewed Estate Sale company award, and this didn't come as a surprise as we served over 460 families JUST in the month of August.
Last month's seller experience in a video nicely captured our stress-free solution. With 1000s of items sold last month, below is a list narrowed down to some interesting items!
