We at Aspen Estate Sales conducts
well organized, properly displayed, and successful estate/moving/liquidation sales in the Colorado Springs, and
surrounding
Colorado Front Range and Pike's Peak
Region areas.
We use our many
years of experience in the Antique and Collectibles business, retail
experience, and sale promotion business to determine the value of your
items, market and sell them for you.
Unlike most estate sale companies who are essentially antique
collectors or dealers, we offer many
years experience in organization, marketing, and sales stemming from
Retail experience, Corporate America, Internet e-Commerce, and over 30
years individually dealing in items like we sell for our clients in our
Estate / Tag Sales. We
utilize antique and collectible reference materials to research items, in addition to
knowledge from our network of dealers and collectors and information
gathering from the internet. We can also have certified appraisers value items when needed. We have experience working with antiques,
collectibles, and all types of items from low cost to high priced range
items to assist in getting the best price for you. We also have over 10
years successfully selling online which allows us to reach a wide buyer
base with your specialty items. We currently operate several successful web
based businesses, one you might look at is Legacy
Trunks.com. This is a specialty e-commerce web based business site
dealing in Antique Steamer Trunks and restoration supplies. We are one of
the top websites in the internet. This is a
demonstration of our commitment to quality and attention to detail that we
will utilize in selling your items.
When all is said and done, our job is to
work for you and maximize the outcome while minimizing your effort and
difficulty. We will do this for you.
Last
and most
importantly, we work for you, we value our clients, and our relationship
with them.
If you are interested in our services,
we look forward to talking with you. Sidnee and Blake

(Frequently Asked Questions) |
|
|
What sets us apart from other estate businesses? |
|
First and foremost, we operate efficient and effective Estate
Sale liquidations at the sale location. Secondly, we have
developed relationships and contacts with many dealers over
the years who have Antique Stores or booths who are a great
source of buyers for our sales. In addition to these
options we also can also sell special items or
collections for you on the Internet since we have been selling
online for over 10 years. We are able to keep in touch with
you through emails and digital pictures if you are out of
town. |
|
| |
|
How much notice do you need to give us? |
|
Approximately 2 weeks. Sometimes less, sometimes more. |
|
| |
|
What do You (the owner) need to do? |
|
Please remove the items you wish to keep. Please maintain garbage
and telephone services. Do not dispose of anything until we
can meet with you. |
|
| |
|
What do we charge? |
| We have a
base charge for the service we offer which varies on the scope
of the project. We
work on a percentage of the total sale, which
depends on costs associated with advertising, refuse
removal, licensing, etc. Labor costs are the key factor. All
fees are paid from the proceeds of the sale so you have NO
initial 'out of pocket' expenses. |
|
| |
| |
|
How do we advertise for the sale? |
|
1) We design advertising and place it in the appropriate papers,
mailers, email contacts, brochures, flyers, etc prior to the
sale.
2) We put signage at the estate sale location.
3) We contact buyers on our customer mailing list.
4) The sale is also placed on our
website as "Our Next Sale"
5) We hang professional signs, posters and arrows on the street
corners - and remove them!
6) Our sales are listed online with Estatesales.net |
| |
|
What do you do with the leftover items that don't sell? |
| That is YOUR choice. You can leave those items to be picked
up by your favorite charity, left in the home/garage, or we will
provide a “clean out” service which will leave the home “floor
clean”. The additional time required depends on the scope of the
job. |

Me...I have been a
collector since I was about 10 years old. My mom
would take my brother, sister and myself to sales every
weekend and then occasionally we would go to the Markets
in California and sell some of our treasures. I spent many
years in Corporate America, and since leaving the
Corporate world, I have moved into new endeavors. We
started
LegacyTrunks.com where we collect, restore, and sell
antique steamer trunks from primarily the 1800's online.
We have built this business from a couple of trunks, to a
couple of hundred, and from a starting website to one of
the top in the internet. We also have operated Antique
booths and conducted estate sales as well as selling
various collectibles including western memorabilia,
antique furniture, and original Fine Art. |
|
|
|
I have been a
collector for what seems
like my entire life. I started learning at a young age
about fine china, porcelain, and glassware as well and
antique furniture and collectibles. Also, I collect
antique and vintage guns and fishing equipment. I
appreciate the beauty and story that goes along with
antique treasures. I spent many years in the Retail
consumer electronics industry from salesman to promotions
manager, and finally owner. My
main function now is internet e-commerce work. I design
the websites, as well as refinishing trunks, fly fishing
rods, and vintage stereo equipment as I can. We have a
great family, wonderful friends, loving pets, and are
lucky enough to live in one of the most awe inspiring
places in the world. We will give special attention to you
as our customer. |

Our stores are a reflection of some of
the things we really find interesting, especially items that are
related to Colorado where we live or the Old West. Most of the
things are what we have carried around in boxes for the last 30
years. We finally have come to realize that we will never have a
display case big enough to hold it all. |

The Kids: |

|
Corbin and Leslie are 'the

We have 2 cats, Susie, and Henry. Susie is our

Calico. Henry is a long haired black and white Tuxedo cat who ‘rules
the roost’. Basically, he thinks he is the head dog, cat, horse,
bird, and human in the house! |

| Birds: |
|
Bloomers is a ring neck dove that lives
in her indoor and outdoor cages depending on the weather. Pumpkin is
the coolest orange pumpkin and black colored Canary you will ever
see. He lives in his antique wrought iron cage, and loves to sing to
George Strait, Frank Sinatra, Diana Krall, and multiple television
show themes.
Great Bird! |
