"The Auction vs Tag Sales"
A Comparison

Auction Hazards

• You don't know what the auction will bring until its all over with.
• Auction are lengthy, potential buyer's don't stay long enough to bid on what they wanted
• Possible that only 50 bidders will show up, and some of them just sightseers.
• Competition from other auctions running at same time and date.
• Auctioneer commissions paid by both seller and frequently buyers (buyer fees)
• Valuable items often used to sell less desirable things (Look Martha! to get me to buy that $10 box of junk, the dude threw in this really neat vase.)
• All the items that buyers didn't want gets left behind in the yard for the owners to clean up.

TheCellarDoor Tag Sale Advantages

• I can find out how much my items are worth before selling.

We have staff that can do appraisals.
• I know all buyers can get what they want as soon as they see it.
  No waiting with prepriced merchandise or hanging around till item auctioned.
• I want lots of buyers so most of the items will sell.
  Items are available for sale for up to three days, no rain outs, buyers can even come back to buy more later, many do.
• I don't want my friends to pay the auctioneer too.
  No added charges, even clean-up is included .
• I need the place clean, as the house is sold and possession is a after the sale.
  We will dispose of all remaining material. We also do estate purchases as well.
