A look at estates, clean-outs, art, automobiles, watches, coins, and antiques we've handled. Every one started the same way — a free walkthrough and an honest number.

Three generations of contents cataloged, priced, and sold over one weekend — then cleaned out and hauled the following week.

Higher-value lots pulled from an estate and run live with online bidding, so collectors nationwide competed for them.

Found leaning behind a basement shelf during a clean-out. Researched, authenticated, and consigned instead of tossed.

Cleaned and photographed properly before sale — the difference between a yard-sale price and a gallery price.

Full wall of framed works itemized individually rather than sold as one bulk lot.

Sat in a garage for decades. Marketed to collector buyers and sold well above the cash-offer number the family was quoted.

Barn-stored original, detailed and documented before going to a collector.

An entire collection handled at once — appraised, transported, titled, and sold on the owner's timeline.

Serviced and verified, then placed with a watch buyer who paid real market value.

High-grade complication sold at auction with full condition photography.

A drawer of pocket watches sorted by maker and movement — several were far from scrap.

Gold, platinum, and gemstones weighed and tested in front of the family before sale.

Graded by date and condition, not melted by weight. Key dates alone paid for the whole clean-out.

Full service plus hollowware — sold as a set to a buyer who wanted the complete pattern.

Early furniture, clocks, and decorative pieces cataloged individually with maker research.

Porcelain and bronzes marketed to specialist bidders — a category most local clean-out crews miss entirely.
