Estate sales are a great way to find antique treasures in your area. Instead of a road trip to try to find the coin or figurine to finish your collection, compete with fellow collectors at estate sales in the DC Area.

Popular collector pieces are often sold at estate sales since the sales themselves often represent a lifetime of collecting. Many items that can’t be found on online trading and buying sites could be found at these events; ranging from fine china and paintings to Persian rugs and artifacts from all over the world.

Here are a couple of tips to find the authentic treasures: always do your research about expensive items that you want to purchase, pay attention to detail, and ask questions. All of these suggestions will keep you on the right buying path when purchasing the high ticket items at estate sales. Doing the legwork prior to the event will save you a lot of time and money, because the simplest brush stroke could change the value of a painting tenfold!
