We were surprised at the end of last year to see how much our consignment business had grown.
Not every household can support an estate sale, and not everything in a house is appropriate to sell to the general public. For these situations, selling select vintage and collectible items in our retail galleries and shows is often a better alternative.
The client gets exposure to different customers, a professional selling agent, and anonymity. The collector buyer gets to see some of the most interesting and unusual items from the home, in a venue where their value may be more highly perceived than in a house sale.

When we say interesting and unusual, we're not kidding! Items we place privately for clients range from built-in furniture to one-of-a-kind art, often from dwellings where covenants or limited access make a public sale impossible. Security concerns, sentimental attachment and family embarrassment are other reasons items might not be right for a house sale...Georgian silver, family photo albums and erotic French lithography are examples of such items we quietly liquidate for clients.
Tampa Bay Total Estate Sales documents all items removed for sale, and regularly reports and pays our consignment clients, taking a surprisingly affordable sliding scale fee in return. More information is available on the Estate Services page of our website.
