estate sale notes

What sells like hotcakes:

  • lotions (avon, bath & body works, victoria's secret)
  • makeup (gently handled MAC blushes & lipgloss, Nars foundation, Jane eyeshadows)
  • shoes
  • baby clothes
  • purses

A total flop:

  • candles
  • scraps of material
  • university textbooks
  • knifes (!!!)

It was real hit or miss in the adult clothing department.
Stuffed animals made good gifts with purchase.

About 95% of shoppers are women.
peak hours I would estimate to be between 8am to 12noon.
