Hello all,
Happy New Year! We wish you a happy and
prosperous 2009!!
Our next estate sale will be on the weekend of
January 31st through February 1st. For more
information about this sale, scroll down to the
"Heritage House Estate Sale Schedule"

By the way....do you know anyone who wants to rent one
or two bedrooms in a south Orcutt (Santa Maria) area home?
Most of you know our vivacious redhead employee and friend,
Leona--she is renting two of the rooms out of her house. The
rooms rent for $550 each. They are completely furnished,
including linens and blankets. Included in the rental are house
and garden privileges. In the kitchen there are: a stove,
oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. The lovely
fenced backyard has a covered patio and BBQ. Use of a
washer and dryer is also included. If interested, please
call Leona at: (805)937-7730.

Thank you, loyal customers and clients, for voting us as the winner

Planning on having an estate, moving, or
business liquidation sale?
Please feel free to contact Carolyn on her cell phone at: (805)878-1978.
Get all the facts before you hire a liquidator. You can't choose one based
upon the rate of commission only! All services are NOT the same!
While Heritage House has the LOWEST COMMISSION POSSIBLE
(down to 10%), we offer many services and features that other services
usually do not.
For example:
...Heritage House carries a million dollar liability policy
to protect our clients and customers!
....Heritage House is bonded!
....Heritage House staff are protected by Workmen's Comp
....Heritage House uses MORE staff per sale than is
standard for our industry--this means more sales
and better protection of your property and contents.
.....Heritage House has appraisers on staff.
.....Heritage House is the only local liquidator to utilize its
own website (and others) to advertise your sale with
BOTH descriptions and pictures of the items for sale!
.....Heritage House has unparalleled experience;we are
the oldest liquidation company on the Central Coast!
Put that experience to work for you!
*********************************************************************************
HELP NEEDED: We need a strong person who can help customers move furniture as
well as check receipts and put out the signs. Some mechanical ability is required as we sometimes
have to disconnect washers and refrigerators. You would need to know how to use a furniture
dolly. We prefer someone with a sunny disposition and a "can do" attitude. A valid driver's license
and a clean DMV record are a must. Since we are bonded, we need someone without a felony
conviction or a conviction for a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. We would like someone
who is available about one to two weekends a month in the Santa Maria area. We typically
work from about 8 a.m. on Saturday until around 2 p.m. On Sunday we work from around
1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pay is about $10 per hour DOE. If interested, please call Carolyn at:
878-1978,
or send me an e-mail at: heritagehouse@thegrid.net

ABOUT MAKING OFFERS/BIDS AT
OUR ESTATE SALES
OR
BUSINESS LIQUIDATION SALES: Offers can be made to staff during the
sale on Saturday. After the sale, offers can be made on Saturday either by phone
(937-3855) or e-mail at: heritagehouse@thegrid.net We ask that you carefully
consider before making a bid; we consider a bid to be a firm offer. Click on the
blue e-mail address to contact us. You can make two kinds of bids:
(1) you can make a fixed bid of a certain amount;
or (2) you can make an eBay-style bid in which you make a bid "range".
In other words, you might make a bid of AT LEAST a certain amount
and AT MOST a certain amount. Carolyn will advance your bid in
$5 increments based upon other people's bids. If no one else makes a bid,
the item will be won by you at the LOWEST amount of your bid. We are
normally looking at bids for OVER HALF.
If an item is over, say $20, we would like the bid to be at least $5 over half price.
For items under $20, bids over half can be made in $1 increments over half. We notify all
bidders who bid over half--whether you win or not--late on Saturday or early on Sunday.
If we do not receive an offer on an item, it will go for 1/2 off on Sunday--but it can not
be sold for 1/2 off to anyone who made a bid on that particular item. If a bid was made for
UNDER HALF, we will notify you in the afternoon on Sunday if you have won the bid.
After the crowd clears out on Sunday, we are looking at offers for UNDER HALF.
In most cases, our intention is to completely clear out the house. So don't be shy; we don't
offend easily! :) Be aware, though, that our clients may give us differing instructions
from sale to sale. Feel free to talk to staff about making an offer--we are here to assist you!
