It’s estate sale season around here. People are preparing their homes for sale, so they hire people to sell all their crap. Crap for sale? Count me in!
I bought dozens of gold leaf books at two 9,000 square feet mansions and 400 dusty tomes from a dusty garage this weekend. I’m sorting out all these books today. Some will be sold individually for hundreds. Others will be sold by the dozen to home decorators. I paid Jonah to come back from college and help me with the garage books. We did triage in the driveway sorting books into keep, donation, and recycle piles.
It’s all actually pretty fun. Here are some pictures of things that are going on around here:
Visited this 9,000 square foot house for an estate sale. 
This was their breakfast nook. 
Outdoor tv, fireplace, full kitchen, pool, and pool house. 
And lots of leather books by Easton Press and Franklin Library. I bought them for $10 a piece. Will sell between $70-$400. 
They’re stacked up in the dining room to get ready for pictures. 
I turned an unused wine cellar into the books zone. 
I have a lot of sorting to do next week. I’ll probably sell most of these for $20 per dozen. 
This is our basement. If I expand my business, I’ll use the profits to refinish it.
