Deceased's belongings auction
An estate sale is a sale of a deceased person's belongings, typically held at their home.
Unlike garage sales, estate sales often include furniture, artwork, jewelry, and household contents accumulated over a lifetime.
Professional companies frequently manage them, pricing items and handling crowds: We found an antique dresser at an estate sale.
The term sometimes applies to sales prompted by divorce, downsizing, or moving rather than death.
