• The first thing you should know is that Anne Dee Estate Sales generally produces 15-hour, three-day sales. Friday, the first day, is full marked price. There are no reductions in price until Saturday when items are 25% off; all remaining merchandise is 50% off on Sunday. We specialize in sold-out sales, so it pays to go early for the best selection & to come late for the best prices. We also do smaller 10-hour, two-day sales, with price reductions on Saturday. • The second thing is that we put numbers on the front porch one hour before the sale opens on Friday. Rather than wait outdoors in line, you can come early the first day of the sale, pick up a plastic red & white number (#1 through #50) & then leave for coffee, breakfast or even another sale. We put out numbers one hour prior to the sale to discourage eager buyers from coming at 7am & camping out on the front lawn. We reserve the right to limit entry & we hire security to deal w/crowd control when necessary. • The third tip involves our pricing. We invest a great deal of time researching the things we have to sell. We go online & check to see what particular items have sold for recently. We are not interested in what they sold for in past years: only today's market is considered. Of course, we sometimes make mistakes & we can count on you to tell us! • Number four is something you should know if you want to buy a large item such as furniture or an appliance, i.e., an item you can't possibly bring to check-out without help. Simply remove the tag & bring it to the cashier. The item will be considered sold. Do NOT yank the tag off if someone has their hand on an item; basic courtesy is required at our sales or you will be asked to leave. • Fifth tip is about being an environmentally-friendly buyer. Although we try to provide recycled plastic & paper bags & clean boxes (for books, glasses, dishes), it is thoughtful of you to bring your own reusable totes (the ones you keep in your car for groceries work great). Those of us at Anne Dee Estate Sales consider ourselves a green company; we are dedicated to reusing, recycling, repurposing. • Number six involves sales tax. Dealers who fill out a one-time Texas Sales & Use Tax Resale Certificate at check-out are not subject to sales tax, but everyone else is. Our company provides a service & we are required by the Comptroller of the State of Texas to collect tax & report & pay it on the 20th day of each month. • Our seventh tip involves our basic terms & conditions: a) No early birds; we open promptly at 10am each day. b) No prices quoted prior to or during sale. c) Every item sold as is. d) All sales final. Caveat emptor. Although we wouldn't knowingly sell defective appliances or electronics, there is no way we can know the history of each piece; small chips on antique & vintage glass & pottery are marked as is. e) Children must be supervised at all times. f) No public restrooms. g) Anne Dee Estate Sales & staff will not be held responsible for any accidents or injuries incurred during our estate sales. 
• And, finally, you should know that we cheerfully accept cash, local checks, credit & debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover). |
