Dear Rose and Lin,
I don’t know what we would have done without you and your hardworking
team (your husbands included!). My father’s house was so full of things, and such a mess, but you went through
there so thoroughly, and prepared everything so nicely, with the wonderful online video as the finishing touch – my
brother and I are in awe of you!
So much was sold, we were really quite gratified; obviously you have great
mailing lists that you use, and you were really on top of timely communication with us, too. The best part was not having
to be there for two days ourselves, we were able to fully trust you and were relieved to just step aside and tend to our own
full-time jobs.
For prospective clients of yours, I want to echo the advice some of your other customers
give – do NOT start to throw out your stuff until the Dusty Old Bags have visited your house, because one man’s
junk is, indeed, another’s treasure, and you may throw out something quite saleable. I can see that if my brother
and I had continued to throw out, give away, and sell stuff ourselves, there would not have even been enough to be worth having
a professional company come in and run a sale, so call Rose and Lin in for a look at the start.
Thank you
from the bottom of my heart! Faith

Thank you for the sensitive, practical, and professional manner in which you conducted all aspects
of the estate sale. Having you handle the difficult task of emptying a house full of memories allowed me to concentrate
on other tasks relating to the sale of my mother's house without having to worry about what to do with all the "stuff."
You were always available to answer any questions or address any concerns.

Hi Rose and Linn,
Just wanted
to let everyone know what a great job Rose and Lin did out our mother's estate sale. The sale took place on back to back
weekends in September in Morristown and Livingston. The weeks before they did
a lot of prepping and organizing and the houses looked great and ready for the sale. The day of the events I met them
there at 7am for final set up I couldn't believe the amount of people lining up early to get first dibs. When we
opened the door they rushed in and knew exactly where to go because of the video they placed on the web site. I would advise people not to clean the house like we did before the sale because the things we threw out could of
been sold. As the saying goes another mans junk could be a treasure for someone else. The Livingston sale went exceptionally
well from set up to clean up. We closed on the house the following week and they recommended a cleaning crew that did
a awesome job and left the house broom swept, and left us with nothing to do. I
would definitely recommend Dusty Old bags to anyone , who is looking to close out an estate, or down sizing. It would
be crazy to do it on your own . We would also like to thank the husbands and Dawn for doing there
part in the sale, you are all great people.
thanks again Robin and Walter

Lin and Rose at DOB were very helpful with the contents sale of my parents’ home. Lin was
my initial contact, and she was very responsive (by e-mail and phone) to my many questions and concerns. They took care
of everything, from the pricing, to display of the items, to obtaining the permit, to payment and settling up. They
even researched some of the more unusual items to determine potential value. As far as
marketing goes, I could never have cast as wide a net as they did; between their web site and mailing list, as well as advertising,
their efforts were exhaustive. They were also very careful with the personal items that
(inevitably) popped up during their preparation. I would strongly recommend DOB for a similar sale. … Doug

I am finally sitting down to write this letter of appreciation for the job Dusty Old Bags did for our
family. We were faced with a huge task of disposing of my mother’s lifetime collection of “stuff”
with absolutely no idea of what it would take. I stopped by some garage sales prior to meeting Rose and Lin and knew
right then and there that I needed help. There were a lot of emotions tied up in these possessions and the ladies did
an excellent job of consulting with us to be realistic in our expectations. “What was valuable to us did not necessarily
have the same value to the shopping public.”
I was amazed at the organization, set up, and management
of the sale. They were exactly what I was looking for in getting this job accomplished in an efficient manner.
It was very impressive to watch the team go through the house making suggestions, setting up and coordinating displays of
the items, and placing the final suggested price on each item. I realized that some of the things I thought was junk
could have been someone else’s treasure.
The day of the sale brought me much worry on how the sale
would go. I arrived at the site at 7 AM to see people lining up in the driveway anticipating a purchase of an item they
saw on the web site. This totally floored me. The people who came knew exactly what they were looking for and
went after it (my father’s fire hydrant). The ladies bargained with the customers when appropriate to gain the
most value for our treasures. I was truly grateful to see large items go out the door and amazed that some things sold
when others sat there. At the end of the sale, I was very pleased at the results and thoroughly convinced that we could
have not achieved the results that Rose and Lin accomplished.
I have already recommended Dusty Old Bags to
people in my town who are facing the same situation we were in. Everyone seems to have the same feeling that they are
looking for someone to manage the sale for them that will not be emotionally tied to each piece. I salute Dusty old
Bags for the job they did, the results they achieved, and the professionalism they brought to this daunting task of an Estate
Sale.

Dear Rose & Lin,
I cannot thank you enough for the great house sale you held for me
in Bridgewater, NJ. As ours was not the usual full clean out sale, I appreciate your taking it on. I was thrilled
with the results. You and your staff made it easy for me and my husband to downsize and move on from our family home
of 22 years. We also appreciate that you arranged for the final clean out which left our home in move in condition for the
new owners. Rose, you were a pleasure to work with. Thanks again.

Dear Rose & Lin,
Now that the dust has settled (kind of), I wanted to thank you for all your
help with the sale. It was a pleasure working with you and Victor. Your expertise and easy manner really got us through a
hectic time. Having your clean out crew clear out whatever was left after the sale really took a load off our shoulders. The
closing went well, although is was a bit emotional leaving Nutley after so many years.
We are settling in and doing
lots of unpacking. Lou is in the "throwing out mode"--no longer wants to save ANYTHING!!
I saw your video
today for a sale in South Plainfield. Lots of albums and Elvis stuff. Wow!
If you are in the Point Pleasant area,
please stop by or get in touch with us.
Lou & Denise
Take care and continued success.

Dear Rose & Lin,
Thank you very much for your sensitivity and professionalism during the estate
sale for my dear friend Doris.
Lin, you and your team did an outstanding job during the sale. Your
expertise in dealing with the public was evident and you did not lose sight of what needed to be accomplished. Thank you again.
There is nothing dusty and old about you two. You need a lot of energy and stamina to do what you do,
and you surely have that!
I have already referred your services to others.
Best,
Liz

Recently
my family found themselves in the difficult situation of having to decide what to do with the contents of our late parents
home. The time had come to make a decision of how to handle this overwhelming and saddening task with as little stress
as we were all able to handle. The expression is true that every dark cloud has a silver lining and ours came in the
form of The Dusty Old Bags. There truly are no words that could ever express our gratitude of how professional and compassionate
they were in helping us achieve our objective of dissolving this large estate.
Rose and Lin were more than
we could have hoped for and definitely saved us from making many costly mistakes. Their years of experience and up to
the minute knowledge of how to price items at their true value made it a very profitable sale. The many decades of hard
work that our parents spent buying the things that they and we loved did not end up being sold at a garage sale for mere pennies.
Our highest praise and admiration for the opportunity of meeting and working with Lin and Rose of The Dusty
Old Bags will not be forgotten. Although it is heartbreaking to see precious items leave your family home, please know
that you will never find two people as honest, caring and understanding as Rose and Lin.
On behalf of our
entire family we are sincerely grateful. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Sincerely,
The O'Dell & Boyle Families

can be so hard to part with.

Dear Rose & Lin,
You and your team exceeded our expectations.
We were quite nervous
about the sale, but you made us feel at ease with your professionalism
and organization.
We were delighted that most of our furnishing, etc. sold
and your movers were most efficient which was another concern.
You
have great people working with you.
We are singing you praise and highly recommend you without any
hesitation.
Our best wishes,

Lin and Rose were fantastic! Dusty Old Bags is the next best thing to a turnkey
solution for the always difficult job of estate sales. Once they got to work, they hummed like a well-oiled machine,
needing no attention or oversight. Items were priced appropriately and EVERYTHING had a price tag. They were pleasant,
efficient, ON TIME and delivered what they promised. I highly recommend them.

Lin and Rose of Dusty Old Bags made a very difficult situation much easier. As an only
child, dealing with my parent's house was an overwhelming task after my mother's death. Dusty Old Bags came in and
lovingly displayed items that my father could not take to his new home. My mother, who never could pass up a good sale, would
have enjoyed it if she had been able to attend. It was her kind of thing--always looking for that special item at a garage
sale or flea market-- and Lin, Rose and their husbands.. bill and victor, made sure some of her special items made their
way to other loving homes. They were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend their service to others. thank
you again Janice East Brunswick NJ

Dear Dusty Lin and Dusty Rose We want to acknowledge
what a successful sale you conducted for us in East Brunswick. There was no way we could have set up and priced everything
the way you and your team did. We knew it would be a hard task to perform, especially when you decided there were enough
items to advertise for a 3 day sale. The sale went without a hitch and was
run in an extremely professional and controlled manner. It was everything you promised. Many of the people who showed up were
amazed at the amount of items for sale and how well they were displayed. Once the sale began your loyal following left us
little down time. Your team did a splendid job for us and it is very much appreciated. We already have and will continue to
spread the word of how well our sale went because of the wonderful job that you did. You made it easy for us and we
enjoyed the time spent with Dusty Lin , Dusty Rose, Bill, and Victor.
Bob and Karen P.S.
We also enjoyed the tuna fish salad Dusty Lin brought.

Dear Rose and Lin,
We can’t thank you and your husbands enough for the wonderful job you did with my mother’s
house. It was hard for me to sell my mom’s things and you were very sensitive to my feelings.
Your hard work and efficient organization was amazing. The house looked great after you set
it up. You made the whole process easy and working with you has been such a pleasure. My husband, daughter, son
and I appreciate everything you did.
One thing I learned was that if we ever need
anything, I would check with you to keep on the lookout for it. Some of the older furniture is made so much better than
the new. We all feel
that we have made good friends and we would recommend you very highly.
Thanks again,

Dear Rose and Lin,
Many, many thanks for
the superb job you did selling the contents of my mother-in-law's
home.
I spoke with about six or seven companies before deciding on you. The clincher was a recommendation
by one of your competitors! After I met you and read pages and pages of glowing testimonials, there was no doubt. I'm just grateful you decided to take the job! The house was packed full. We had started the process ofsorting and discarding and the place looked like
a disaster area when you arrived. I am amazed at how both of you and your wonderful husbands put the place in order and had everything
displayed,
arranged and tagged in what, to me, seemed like record time. You are
clearly pros, but still so down-to-earth, kind
and considerate.
As someone very dear to me would say, "them's good people."
Another thing, I so appreciate
your continued communication even after the sale --- e-mailing me copies
of photos I requested and putting me in
touch with potential buyers
who contacted you after the sale. And I really do mean this: you were sent from above Hugs, Maeve

Dear Lin & Rose If I can do something on my own I will.
I am self sufficient and reluctant to hire someone else for a job. But when it came to liquidating my in law's estate,
I weighed the advantages and disadvantages of tackling this on my own and realized I would need some expertise greater than
my own.
I researched antique dealers, auctioneers, ebay sellers, and other estate sale people that had been personally
recommended to me - as well as services I found on-line. I don't like to make mistakes so, I ended up interviewing
(in my home) the Dusty Old Bags and two other services. Although I did liked one other service, I have NO DOUBT that I made
the right decision for me. |

Dear Rose and Lin,
Wow!
I know why you’re dusty. It's from the dust cloud left by your collective whirlwind!
My father’s house required SUPER HUMAN organization, set up, pricing, polishing.
I am sure that it will stand out as one of your most insanely challenging jobs —
and you
rocked it!
I thank you not only for the outrageous amount of work you did to ready
in the house and run the sale. Also I thank you for your patience and decorum during this
emotional process.
Saying goodbye to over 40 years of memories is a grueling process.
You didn’t just take care of the house, you took care of me, too.
Neither
being an easy task!
Bless you both for your professionalism, your understanding and your Herculean work!!
Most Sincerely,
P.S. Go ahead and quote me! |

Dear Linda,
Rose & Bill,
Thank you for making our sale a huge success.
You managed everything from start to finish making
our job so much easier.
You were a pleasure to work with and we feel we made some very good friends.
We would
not hesitate recommending you to anyone considering having a garage sale.
It is an enormous endeavor and you guys handled
it so seamlessly.
We couldn’t have done it without you.
You’re the best! |
|

Rose and Linda,
I just want to thank you for all the hard work you guys did at
my house sale.
It was a very difficult time for me, it was not something I wanted to do, I had to do it.
You were
both so kind and delicate with me.
It was not so bad because of your attitudes and sense of humor throughout the whole
thing.
You worked so hard, your pictures and words on your web site were so appealing, it would make people come!!
I thank you both for handling me so gently and doing a great job.
I am sorry we had to meet under my bad circumstances,
you both are kind caring people.
Thanks again |

uh, yes... the dreaded
estate sale and all the transactions related to preparing a parent's house for sale. It is physically and emotionally
draining, but living out of state makes it even more difficult.
Then,
we found Dusty Old Bags. We got a good feeling from our very first meeting with Lin and Bill, and quickly signed up...
and so glad we did. We left them the house keys and they did all the rest from set up to clean up.
One unexpected bonus... a potential buyer of the house who used the occasion
to get an early viewing of the interior. Although a logical connection, never thought about that as an outcome.
Overall, Lin is very responsive to phone calls and e-mail and gives you nothing
but full support throughout the process. A great bunch to deal with and highly recommended.

Hi Lin & Rose
Thank you so very much for the great job you and your husbands did at our
dad’s estate liquidation.
I know it was a daunting task (especially
the Sunday before the sale) but you pulled it off with flying colors.
You
were extremely professional and knowledgeable and a lot of fun.
We
appreciate all of your hard work.
Thank you again for everything.
You’re the best.

Dear Lin & Rose
My brothers and I would like to thank you, your niece Dana, and your
entire team for the wonderful job you did running
the sale. The prospect of clearing out our Aunts Estate from here in Toronto Canada
was such an overwhleming
task. So it was such a releif to have found
"The Dusty Old Bags" - you made the entire process seamless
from
beginning to end.
It was truly a pleasure working with you and I would definitly recommend
your services to anyone.
I only wish you weren't so far away - I'd use
your services here in Toronto
if I could.
Thanks again,

Dear Lin & Rose
I just
want to thank you so much for your help. You were a pleasure to work with. Things worked out a heck of a lot better than I
had imagined.
As nerve wracking as it was for me, your presence
and professional demeanor made it all quite bearable.
Thank your
husband for me (I'm sorry, I've forgotten his name already) as he was a tremendous help also.
I'm very glad we chose you and you chose to accept.
Thanks a whole lot. |

Dear Lin & Rose
What a job all of you did!
Everything was very organized and professional and you made our lives a lot easier.
We were able to sell more items over the next few days after the sale.
We donated most of the smalls that were left over from the sale to local charities and churches so everyone
gained something.
Thanks so much for all the help and the time you
spent sorting items, placing them throughout the house and your drive to keep selling.
Thanks again for doing a terrific job.

Dear Lin & Rose,
My brother and I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and what a great job you did with the
estate sale for our mom's house in Toms River! We were faced with having to clear out our mom's house in a short
time and within weeks you had pictures on your website and the entire house ready for the sale. The
sale went amazingly well, better than I could have hoped for. After the death of a loved
one there are so many different things to do and the thought of having to clean out an entire home of over 50 years of collected
items was daunting.
We are so lucky to have found you and your company.
It was a great relief to be
able to trust someone to go thru an entire house, room by room, closet by closet and all the drawers and a garage and lay
it all out for a sale.
You are both very hard workers, and take great pride in what you do and it shows.

Dear Rose and Lin,
On behalf of my sister and brothers, we would like to thank you for helping us
with selling the contents of my parent’s home.
The home had 54 years of memories and my father was a collector
of EVERYTHING! You ladies were very understanding and sensitive to our situation.
We were totally amazed how well
you organized and displayed our family treasures!
WOW!
The sale was well publicized and appeared to be very well
attended! You did all the work and reaped the rewards!
Thanks again for a wonder job! We will definitely recommend you
to anyone we know in a similar situation!
It was a pleasure doing business with you. |

Rose, Lin & Husbands,
Thank you so much for our recent sale at 16-08 Saddle River Road! I couldn't
have imagined how successful it would have been and it was all because of 'Dusty Old Bags'! When my mother-in-law
became the executor of the estate of a dear friend, she was left with the daunting task of sorting through 50 years of papers,
household items and personal effects. We were definitely 'the retro 1960's estate'. It was an overwhelming
task Then, I found your website - what a God send! We met with Rose, signed a contract and our worries were over.
Dusty Old Bags handled everything from that moment on! Rose, Lin and their crew came in and sorted through 50 years
worth of bags, boxes, drawers and closets. They organized and tagged too many items to count! I couldn't imagine
how they were going to display everything but was so pleasantly surprised when I saw the house before the sale. It was neat,
orderly and amazingly, most of the contents were displayed for the customers to view. On the day of the sale, Rose,Lin and
their husbands were terrific! They worked hard to get the most money for the items - often times refusing to take less
then was tagged! The husbands, Bill and Vic, helped to carry out heavy items, rearrange items in the house and even took down
a light fixture that we had forgotten to do. They all went above and beyond! They have a large following of customers as I
heard many say "I'll see you next week." Lin and Rose are such personal ladies...we even found time to
sit and chat about our families!. Besides being such hard workers and advocates for us, they were also so caring in regard
to my mother-in-law's feelings with the passing of her dear friend. When I first contacted Rose, she made sure to ask
me if my mother-in-law "was ready" in regard to her grief to go through with the sale and then, when they were going
through the items in the house, they found some old pictures and other more personal items and put them aside - making sure
to treat us in such a compassionate way. I can't say enough about "Dusty Old Bags"! Their hard work, dedication
to their customers and their kind, caring personalities make them worth their weight in gold! |
|
| |
"Rose and Lin:
My family and I want to say "thank you" for all your hard work.
And please express our thanks to your husbands for their assistance as well.
My grandmother's house
had over 60 years of memories to sort through, but you made the whole process of sorting and selling smooth and painless.
Very pleased with the results of the sale! |
|
| |
Dusty Old Bags was an answer to our prayers. My mothers home was filled with 60 years worth of memories.
We were overwhelmed. Lin & Rose with their husbands came in and organized, priced, and executed a flawless Estate Sale.
An example of their dedication was the fact that Lin had a pacemaker put in three days prior to the
sale and still
worked the event over the weekend. I couldn't beleive it! This was all done with a good natured
attitude and a sensitivity
to the emotional turmoil that is involved in such an event. I and my family recommend
Dusty Old Bags without reservation.

Dear Lin, Rose, Bill & Vic
My brothers, our spouses, and I want to say "thank you" for all your good work and excellent advice. Forced with
the daunting task of clearing my parents' house after my father's death, it was a real "miracle" that we
discovered you on the Internet. The first time we met with Rose & Lin, we were sure that the job would be done right.
It was comforting to listen to your "how-to" and to just relax and let you deal with the clutter. My parents never
threw anything away in the 60 years they were married, and some items had been moved several times and the boxes never opened!
We weren't sure what was in them. To your credit, you laid out all the items, priced them according to your experience,
and even went the extra mile to take the time to research those "special" items that you weren't sure about.
The 3 days of the sale went off without a hitch and you all were troopers in getting stuff sold and moved out the door.
We couldn't have asked for a better outcome. You also showed great patience with a few family members who thought
they were entitled to much more than they were. You handled the situation calmly and professionally. Again, accept
our eternal gratitude and a very big "THANK YOU" to all of you for a job well done.
We will be recommending
you to all our friends who encounter similar situations!
|
|

Dear Rose and Lin,
I thank you and your team very much
for your professional assistance in running this sale. I give you a lot of credit for your honesty and integrity.
You
really made me feel comfortable and I couldn't be happier with the end results. You can always keep my phone number and
use me as a reference, especially for a potential client who is out of town and will need assurance of your great ethics.

Dear Rose and Lin,
We want to thank you for the wonderful
job you did for us. The thought of trying to sort through and empty our ninety-year old mother's house was overwhelming.
You two (and your husbands) made all the difference in the world. The amount of time you spent organizing and pricing every
item in that house was amazing. We also appreciated that you handled every part of the job from pricing to selling and
settling.
You were honest, hard-working and fun to deal with.Thanks for making one big job a lot simpler for us.

Dear Rose & Lin & your long-suffering wonderful
husbands—
What a great job you did for us!
Downsizing is far more traumatic than we ever anticipated. The
amount of stuff accumulated over 30+ years by a hoarder and a collector is beyond belief.
You were recommended by the
designer who staged our house, and we are grateful to her for the referral and eagerly telling all our baby boomer friends
about your fantastic services. You love what you do, and we love how you do it. Everything was so well organized and displayed
that people couldn’t stop themselves from buying. We were impressed with the number of buyers you brought in. You obviously
know all the tricks for the widest possible publicity on a sale.
Best of all, you took the pain out of the whole business
and brought laughter into our home.
For that we can’t thank you enough.

I was totally overwhelmed at the prospect of organizing
my parents’ 50-plus years of collected clutter. I knew I needed major help and looked online to call in the cavalry.
When I saw the Dusty Old Bags website I knew they were just the women I needed! I was so relieved when Rose met me at
the house and agreed to take on the job. They waved their magic wands and turned a jumbled mess of packed closets into an
organized house that looked like an antiques shop complete with jewelry display cases. Their honesty is to be commended. My
mother was great at hiding valuables and I thought I had found them all, including money hidden in her shoeboxes. I received
a call from Rose & Lin to tell me that they had come across an envelope filled with $10,000 worth of savings bonds that
my mother had stashed in a drawer in an extra bedroom. I am grateful for their thoroughness and integrity, as I had missed
the envelope when I went through that dresser.
The Dusty Old Men are great as well – having to pitch in and clear
ice that had blocked the walkway before the morning of the sale. Their mailing list attracts serious buyers who lined up way
before 9 am. Before the sale, they did extensive research to make sure the antique glassware was priced appropriately. Thank
goodness they did the selling for me as I would have come down to a lower price just to see things go out the door.
My
picture shows me smiling, and it is a smile of relief. Before the Dusty Old Bags, I felt I might never empty the house, let
alone get it on the market. The pressure was oppressive as my parents need the proceeds to fund their long term care costs.
Now with most of the items gone and a nice profit made, the rest is doable.
Thank you so much Dusty Old Bags! You truly
do go above and beyond to help your clients!
Sincerely, Susan |

Well, there we were. Distraught and left with a house of items that were collected over my
brother's lifetime.
We had never had any experience with Estate Sales. I went on the website and found
Dusty Old Bags. I called and was guided through the process on how it all works. Shortly thereafter, Rose
came by to see what we had. The sale was advertised and Dusty Old Bags were working hard at organizing and tagging every
item in the house and posting pictures on their website. Although it is an emotional time, I can't tell you
what a pleasure it was working with a group of people who were sensitive to our feelings and helped us get the house
pretty well cleared out in 2 days. They are organized, fast and honest about what they do. It is pretty amazing
the amount of people they get to come to their sales. I'm sure that is because of their wonderful personalities
and business sense. They really are professionals. I enjoyed working with them a great deal. We would absolutely
recommend them as your "go to" people for selling home contents.
We would most definitely call them
again and pass their number along to friends who may have a need. You will not be disappointed.
We sincerely
thank Dusty Old Bags for their sympathy, understanding, professionalism and for coming and accomplishing what seemed
almost hopeless to do by ourselves.
If you need a hand, call them.

Dear Lin and Rose,
Thank you so much for doing such
a thorough, professional and successful job on our estate sale. My wife and I gazed in amazement when we saw the house transformed
into a high-end antiques shop! You displayed all of the merchandise with such love and care that we were not the least bit
surprised when you let us know how successful the actual sale turned out to be.
What’s more, you two ladies were
such a pleasure to deal with that you made the whole process a pleasant adventure rather than a tedious chore! Every detail
was handled with care. You communicated with us every step of the way. You worked so hard and really “delivered the
goods.” You even sold our second car! I would recommend you to anyone who needed the services of a top-notch estate
sale planning and implementation team.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Regards,
Bill & Helen

I wish to respond with some words of recommendations which you may use/forward to other prospective clients.
Dusty Old Bags was recommended to me by another Realtor. I was told that Dusty Old Bags would come in the home, evaluate
the personal property, and submit an estimate of what they believed could be realized from a sale. We met, surveyed
the household items, and discussed the possibilities. We agreed on a date, the value of items, and areas of responsibilities.
True to their word, the ladies came in and tagged every item (hundreds) and arranged them in a presentable fashion.
The sale dates came and the results were exactly what we expected. Dusty Old Bags was excellent; professional, honest,
and efficient.
I would recommend them to anyone wishing to liguidate an estate.
Sincerely,
Kevin

Dear Lin, Rose and partners,
Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you..to
our new best friends! We can't thank-you enough for helping with the sale at my in-laws house. You turned
our "nightmare" into a pleasant and profitable experience.
Your advice, professionalism, knowledge counsel,
spirit, and hard work, made the sale days fun and stress free.
We will highly recommend
you to friends and family but will strongly encourage everyone to stop collecting and cleaning their houses now!
It's amazing how much "stuff" we manage to accumulate over the years! You're a winning
team, and we're glad to have found you. We'll be looking out for you future sales so we can stop by and say
hi!
JoAnn and Ray
