Estate sale companies typically help families or individuals liquidate their household items, collectibles, furniture, artwork, and other personal belongings in a specific timeline. These services are typically used upon the passing of a loved one or during a relocation. They provide services such as appraisal, marketing, sorting, pricing, staging, handling of check-out, and final clean-out of the home. The proceeds from the estate sale are paid to the estate with the commission paid to the estate sale company.

Estate sale online auction services allow customers to purchase items from estates away from the physical location. An estate sale usually refers to a sale of the personal property of a deceased person. However, most estate sale online auction services also offer items from businesses, government agencies and other organizations. The auction typically takes place over a few days and often allows the seller to set a reserve price. Auctions may take place with all buyers able to bid at once, or through a staggered process where the highest bidder is allowed to win the item at auction. Other potential benefits of using an estate sale online auction service include convenience, security and the ability to shop from a wider selection of items.
