that is a lot of place settings
I saw maybe 5 things I wouldn't mind having. But mostly, it just isn't my style.
I never see good estate sales like that around here. It's all rusty farm equipment pieces and mismatched tupperware from the '70s

What is considered cold weather in Wichita Falls, Texas?
I liked some costume jewelry, the bedroom furniture set that had an art deco feel to it, and OMG the purses! A $7,000 purse with the price tag still on.  The shoes did not look like they were ever worn. I want the built ins in the first picture. They have a mid century Mad Men kind of vibe. What is the obsession with ceramic food?  |

The only time I lucked out on something good was actually in your town. A giant outbuilding was being cleared out and I got a mid century chair for $5.00! The bottom needs fixed.
It looks similar to this, a bit worn on the arms, but it has the original yellow vinyl. |

I’d like to see the books, the silver and turquoise jewelry, and some of the art.
Sure wish I still had my old vinyl!!

I remember that denim LV purse from 1975!  All I can think about is, who has been dusting all this stuff over the years. |

I just finished a YouTube series from Curiosity Incorporated. It a guy (and family) who owns an antique store in Canada. He purchased the contents of a house for $10,000. Last I heard after three auctions he has made over $400,000 (less 25% which goes to the auction house) He is so humble about it which is why I loved this series and story behind the scene. The woman who owed the house had a very interesting life until her mom died and she turned into a hoarder. A hoarder of some VERY nice things. Expensive at the time. It was a fun watch.

I love this channel! I think I found it from here, and I've watched the Musician's House series, and the Potter's House series. He finds some great stuff. I really liked seeing the Musician's House get uncovered, and the video about her life was very touching and respectfully done. as to the sale in the OP, personally I don't like majolica pottery or fancy purses so there's not much there for me. That's the thing with estate sales- it's so much about personal taste. |

I would love to go to that estate sale and just browse. I didn’t see anything I just had to have. I’m assuming the prices will be high and there probably won’t be any hidden treasures, but who knows. The crowds will probably be lower than anticipated due to the weather.

Looking at these photos makes me want to downsize my stuff. It's the same way an episode of Hoarders makes me feel, except without the skeeve factor.

Or Scrapbook stuff from the early 2000's. The only time I lucked out on something good was actually in your town. A giant outbuilding was being cleared out and I got a mid century chair for $5.00! The bottom needs fixed.
