Northeastern Estates Sales

I went to an estate sale hosted by Northeastern Estate Sales this past weekend. I attended on the first day of the sale and then also stopped by on the last day, in the last hour, in order to try and get some good deals. I have to say that I was EXTREMELY disappointed with how this sale was run and with the professionalism of the staff. The items in the house were great and there were some beautiful things available… I have no complaint about that. However, the woman running the sale (mid-​aged, shoulder length dark hair) seemed like she should have stayed home in bed… on BOTH days. She was impolite, very short with people asking general questions and completely inflexible with people trying to make deals. It’s natural to try and bargain a little bit at a sale and she was acting like people were completely out of line for even asking. I can understand on the first day of the sale if they don’t want to drop prices at all… completely valid. But on the last day of a sale, in the last hour, if someone is trying to knock a few dollars off something (as long as it’s not vintage or an expensive collectors item) then go ahead and have some good customer service and make people happy. A couple bucks on the last day won’t kill anybody. This is a house sale, not a retail store! These people need to keep in mind that this is supposed to be FUN. People go to estate sales to procure interesting finds, get a great deal, do a little friendly bargaining/​haggling and leave happy, feeling like you got an awesome, one of a kind piece. Not here. The staff, specifically the woman running the sale, completely ruined the experience for me. I left in a bad mood both times. I won’t be back to an estate sale hosted by this company again. I hope that someone from the company reads this and changes their attitudes.
