I am helping one of my 4-H family's with their grandpa/great-grandpa's estate. I did a "picker" type sale in September and it was a HUGE success. Really! I didn't know if the customers would understand this: "go make a pile and we will come to a price" - but, they did and told me they had so much fun. One lady took 4 van loads back - 30 miles one way to her house....now, she might have hoarding issues...LOL...not that I would recognize this...and she wasn't even one of my family members (wink, wink)!
This family had Carter Implement and Carter Grocery Store on this premise. He also had a green bean farm - the property is 3 acres right in town - near Target. When I walked around the buildings at this estate, I was already thinking it would make a great "picker sale." You know the show American Pickers is so popular and many viewers want to try their hand at doing "this" - this is the perfect opportunity to try. Heck, I might do "picker estate sales" from now on...who knows....only time will tell.
I am doing the actual household estate sale on December 9, but we need to get these buildings picked before then - we couldn't do it or get back to them if we had snow. So, if you live close and want to come to a picker sale, it is this Friday, November 10th from 2-5 ish pm at 3316 Schofield Avenue, Schofield, WI. Dress warm, bring gloves, bring a flashlight, park in the parking lot next door and let's have some fun. We will help you dig it out, make a pile, come to an agreeable price and help you load it. Disclaimer...I haven't picked anything from this - I don't "need" anything...but, I do see plenty of things one could redo or resell. If you know me or have been to one of my sales, you know I know HOW to move inventory...I'm an expert at it...just not my own!

UPDATE: POST SALE
The sale was an eye opener to say the least - in MANY ways...anyway...we did it! Now we can move forward with less stuff in our way for the actual estate sale on December 9 from 9-4. Unless a huge snow storm - then the 16th. Hope to see you there!
