🏠 Do I Have Enough to Host an Estate Sale?

One of the most common questions we get is:
“Do I have enough to make an estate sale worth it?”
And the honest answer is — it depends.

At Blue Moon Estate Sales, we pride ourselves on giving families straightforward advice. Not every home is the right fit for a full estate sale, and if that’s the case, we’ll let you know upfront and help guide you toward better options. But you might be surprised at how quickly the value of your items can add up.

💰 What’s the Minimum Value Needed?

In most cases, we recommend having at least $10,000 worth of sellable items in the home. That may sound like a lot, but it adds up faster than you think — especially when you consider the wide range of items that hold resale value.

📦 How Value Adds Up Quickly

Here are a few examples of how households often meet or exceed that $10,000 threshold:

• Furniture: High-end or well-kept furniture (sofas, dining sets, bedroom sets) can contribute thousands.

• Collectibles: Rare coins, sports memorabilia, vintage toys, and designer items often carry significant resale value.

• Jewelry & Precious Metals: Gold, silver, or estate jewelry can add thousands to the total — even from just a few small items.

• Vehicles: Cars, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, and trailers — even if not running — can be big value boosters.

• Artwork & Decor: Original art, vintage prints, and upscale decor pieces are always in demand.

• Tools & Equipment: Quality tools, lawn equipment, snowblowers, and workshop gear are highly desirable.

• Kitchenware & Everyday Items: Even common household goods — from cookware to linens — can bring in steady sales when priced right.

🧭 Our Honest Approach

We’ll always take a look at what you have and give you our professional opinion — even if that means recommending another route. In some cases, we might suggest a partial sale, consignment, or clean-out service instead. Our goal is to help you find the best, most profitable path forward.
