Estate Sales - EstateSales.NET Reviews

EstateSales *frequently* is unable to find my location, rendering it completely useless when I am traveling between sales. I have taken to screen-shotting the addresses I want to visit, so when EstateSales blanks on me, I can still find the property. In case anyone thinks it’s my phone’s GPS/antenna - I have tried accessing EstateSales on my ipad (running on the same wifi network) at the same time and it comes up just fine.

When it does work, I love it.

Very useful. I just wish they would fix the feature where if you look at an estate sale and go back to the list you get put back to the beginning of the list and have to scroll through the list. I think most users would save time and be less annoyed, if when you return to the list you ended up where were when you clicked a specific sale.

Please consider adding possibility to just copy link to the sale from the sharing dialog. It offers to “save to files”, “hide sale”, message and etc. But I’d like to be able to just “copy” the link. I thought it’s standard in iOS so I’m guessing you intentionally disabled this option and I’m mot getting why you would do so 🤷‍♂️

EstateSales is great for shoppers. Wonderful way to find estate sales in your general area and see pictures. However it would be even better if estate sale and auction companies could use EstateSales to edit listings. Like add/delete pictures on the go from a mobile device through EstateSales . It's a bit of a drag to only be able to do this on the site.

While this is an useful app for finding current sales going on, it would be very helpful if they could install a feature to add/edit your own sales. I work for an estate sale company and usually upload the photos and everything from my phone. Having an easy access app to do that from would probably be a lot easier than using the website on my phones browser.

We’ve been going to estate sales for year's and we used to use the website to preview estate sales. We’d print out pages and circle the estate sales we were interested in. When we found out there was an app in development we applied to be testers.

EstateSales is in a word: AWESOME!
•You decide the area where you want to
look You can preview sales
•You can search for items if the estate sale company lists what you are looking for in their description.
•You can favor the estate sales you like.
•You can hide the estate sales you aren’t interested in.
•You can look for the city you are interested in.
•You can look for the estate sale company you are interested in.
•You can get directions directly from EstateSales .
•You can go to estate sales when traveling.

EstateSales makes going to an estate sale a breeze. It is that easy and no time is wasted.

It isn’t always about the stuff, sometimes it is just the house and the history. Did I say we enjoyed going to estate sales? 😆

I love EstateSales! I use it all the time. I love the favorite feature on each sale so I can pinpoint pictures to help me remember highlights of each sale.

I wish there was an option to favorite sale owners so I could always be alerted to me favorite sellers.

This is a great, solid app. I use it before heading out to sales. Map feature is very handy to maximize my time. I wish the pictures were bigger as it leaves a lot of unused screen space. Also wish it included a listing of local garage sales but, all in all, this a wonderful, useful app.

I love EstateSales, but it doesn’t “talk to” the online version. I have an online account and sometimes like working on something other than a microscopic phone screen, especially when examining items. Unfortunately, any sales and photos I save in EstateSales while out and about on the phone are not saved to the online version. Similarly any photos or sales I “favorite” online are not accessible when I take just my phone with me to the sale. This is such a great app, but I would love to see this functionality of integrating the online and app accounts. Thanks.

Love EstateSales. Would be helpful if you could categorize the sales with different colors. Currently can only favorite them. Would be helpful to have another cover or mark a sale as already viewed so you don’t keep reviewing ones that you are not interested in.

I’m now addicted to Estate Sales! EstateSales makes it so easy to choose the estate sales I am interested in, find the place using the map feature, and to know what to expect thanks to the individualized info tab. Thanks so much! I do wish it was easier to see the ones I mark...the green heart seems to blend in.

EstateSales is awesome! I use it almost in a daily basis and love how well organized it is. It is very user friendly and helpful when looking for different types of sales and auctions. The only improvement I would ask for would be more pricing, but that is by no means a problem. I really enjoy EstateSales!

EstateSales really makes finding sales simple. It is way better than CL or FB. I can sort on a list or map and easily see distance dates and times. It also clearly shows who is running the sale. This is important as there are good and bad companies.

Love EstateSales! So easy to use! You can enter your own zip or if you aren't home, you can search by your current location which is great! I mark my favorites, then start my route using my Favorites list. When I click on the address, it links directly to my maps and off I go! Once I've been there, I can hide it so doesn't show up on my list anymore. It's the best!

EstateSales has been been very helpful. The map and being able to set the distance from me has been most helpful. Some of the vendors are better than others at photos but EstateSales is great. I like that I can also chose whether to see sales for the next day or next seven days. I have very nearly been able to furnish my home from sales no further than a couple of miles from home.

I use this every week and go to one or two estate sales listed. The photos are invaluable in choosing which sale to attend. I especially like being able to choose the location and then going to the list of sales in that location. I always try to mention to the sale manager where I saw information about their estate sale.

My friend Susan and I Estate Sale shop in Dallas every Friday! EstateSales. makes it so easy for me to browse and pick out the sales we would enjoy. I start early in the week saving the ones that are appealing with a heart ❤️ On Thursday I pull up the map with all the green dots indicating the sales I have chosen. I write down all the addresses and time they are open. It’s that simple! We love to visit the grand houses in Dallas, Highland Park is a favorite!

I am so glad I eventually downloaded EstateSales. My kiddo hasn’t lived at home for a couple years but we maintain our relationship by going to estate sales every Sunday. This streamlines my searching and saving process so I can spend less time scrolling and more time shopping. I love that I can add notes directly to the photo without leaving EstateSales as I used to make notes in my notes app which would invariably not load once at the actual sale🙄
Notifications are a godsend so I’m up to speed on any changes.
Great all around!

I'm giving a 5-star review because I love EstateSales so much! But, I have a suggestion and I'm not sure where else it should go... the way I use EstateSales is I pull up the map and look at those that appear closest. The day before I plan to go to sales, I favorite those sales that I'm interested in the most. But, sometimes I want to consider others after those I've seen from my "favorites." Then, in EstateSales , I still see the junk I've already ruled out AND the sales I thought... "maybe, if I have the time."

What about... give us a way to delete the sales from our app we have no interest in OR giving us a rating scale instead of a "favorite or not" scale?

Thanks!

Great app- easy to find and sort. The map and locator is very simple. You decide how far you want to travel to go treasure hunting....When the search turns up estate sales, it’s easy to look at what goodies are up for sale. You can also go online to see virtual auctions. Couldn’t get much better!

by Chicago Handyman

As the title says, EstateSales is ok for the map feature but terrible for browsing the details of a particular estate sale unless you want to look at hundreds of pictures one at a time. Use the website instead. While 2 stars might be harsh, it’s a reaction to EstateSales developer ignoring the request to allow scrolling through larger picture groups years ago.

by DDeRossetteBRLA

I find this to be one of the most useful apps I have used.

Since starting to use EstateSales I have gone to Estate sales I would not have even known about and have found some very useful things at reasonable prices!

This is one app I will definitely continue to use!!!!!

by Urztruly23

Cannot begin to describe how awesome EstateSales is! Navigation is easy & plenty of pictures to browse for each auction in 2 different ways; all at once or one by one. You can save your favorites & create alerts. Must have for estate sale lovers!

by Bunny + Lover

When I am not on my computer, EstateSales is so very helpful. I can see photos, pin-point exactly where the this app are. Dates, opening & closing times at my finger tips.
I really appreciate having access. I tell my family & friends about EstateSales .

by Sharby81

I use EstateSales weekly. It shows me all the sales on my area and I don’t have to go to each individual company to see if they are having a sale. I also love that it allows you to look at pictures to see what’s for sale

by Imgreenrose

I’m so glad EstateSales exists — until I found it, trying to find estate sales was so random. EstateSales is very intuitive and easy to use. It gives me all the info I need without having to wade through a lot of stuff.
