He’s a dirtbag. What’s the point of doing that - if he gets caught his whole business is cooked. And for what? Maybe he makes 20% more on the sale? Gross. The most common thing I see out by me is an arrangement where the estate sale company agrees to buy whatever doesn’t sell - at a fixed price. The best items are over priced and don’t sell. And then next week you see them in the company’s ebay store at a reasonable price. There’s an unavoidable conflict of interest there. Also, I don’t know what its like by you guys, but here a lot of the estate sale companies don’t do clean outs anymore - that’s an extra charge with a different outfit after the sale is over - they’re happy to arrange it, but not included in the sale.
