The owner was very friendly and explained what she did up front and we could not come to the sale. Although she said she did big sales in the Dallas area, we felt that strategy did not work for a small town. The gross receipts were $5359. There is no accountability of the owner unless you want to employ a clerk to be present at the sale to tally up sales. The owner was not present for the whole sale and left for vacation the day after. Verbally she said she was going to meet us after she came back from vacation. I had to email her several times to ask when we would meet or get a check. She never answered but did send the check. We would not use the company again nor would we recommend it.
Description of Work: The company was contracted to the sell items in my parents house after they passed. A crew came in and priced the items, with a reserve on a piece of furniture, advertised the sale, and ran the estate sale for three days from 9am-3pm. The company fee (35%) was based on the gross sales. It was the going rate.

Response from When Pigs Fly-Estate Sales
Thank you for taking the time to send a review. Our business does handle multiple sales at one time and we sent one of our wonderful teams to assist with your event. They did a great job and handled everything as agreed. Small geographic areas do require different approaches and we understand the process. Less traffic means less drive-by traffic and areas further away from the Metroplex will keep buyers at bay. The sale itself was small on scale, however the family was very kind and our regular customers as well as new customers had fun and found some treasures. We offer a complete inventory for our clients if they are wanting to absorb the fee of an additional team member at the cashiers table to document each item and is a line item on our agreements as an option (this if very time consuming and has only been contracted when all documentation is needed for probate or divorce proceedings). Otherwise, all items get rung up on a register and the totals are balanced out with credit card and cash received. We pay our clients 10 business days after the sale. Because we accept credit and debit cards, the 10 business days gives needed time to address and correct any potential charge backs or disputes. If we accepted cash only at the sale, payment to our clients is immediate. Our goal has always been to be upfront and responsive. My favorite place to be on vacation does not have phone reception. In the future, I will make sure my lack of phone contact will be addressed if I am going to take a vacation.

They were kind to my grandmother, who had to move to an assisted living facility, and they were sensitive to the fact that selling your estate is not an easy process. They were professional and took care of everything. I handed it over to them and they took care of everything.
Description of Work: We used them to liquidate my grandfather's estate. They handled an estate sale. They get a commission, based on your sales.
