Staging an Estate Sale
The critical factor distinguishing a successful estate sale from an unsuccessful one often lies in the art of staging. This insight has long been recognized by major retailers, who employ strategic product staging in their stores to enhance sales by promoting items effectively and expediting transactions.

The owner and the estate sale brokers should have a discussion about the "not sure" items to determine whether any have profit potential.
