Onsite Estate Sales
An onsite estate sale may be a viable option providing the amount and quality of contents, location and a suitable time lend themselves to this venue. An onsite estate sale can increase the financial value of the estate contents by selling directly to the end-user and due to the contents being considered fresh to the market. In the past we’ve found items such as a Civil War corp pin in a cigar box of trinkets. The pin sold for $700.00. After an initial walk through and free consultation we do everything from start to finish including sorting, cleaning, set-up, pricing, security, advertising, promotion, conducting the sale and clean-up. The same is done for an onsite tag sale in which case the owner is still living. We charge a 35% fee for onsite estate and tag sales.



Estate Clean-outs
Estate clean-outs should be considered when the seller needs the contents removed or the value of the items are determined to be marginal at best and pursuing another option would not be cost effective. Credit towards the cost of clean-out can be determined after a walk through assessment is made. Sometimes the owner may have some items of value which can be credited toward the clean-out cost. In most cases it doesn’t cost the owner anything to have the estate cleaned out and on some occasions we pay the owner a small fee to allow us to clean out their estate. This is similar to a partial buyout. We leave the area broom cleaned.

We also do general cleaning should you just need a garage, attic, basement, barn, shed, cupboards or closets cleaned out or tidied up. We clean, sort and organize for you and even take away the trash for one price. We can work by the hour or by a set fee, whichever is more convenient for you. As always we can give you a free estimate for this service. Your time is money. This service is well worth the convenience, time-saving and cost.

Estate Buyouts
Estate buyouts should be considered when the seller needs immediate cash or the value of the items are determined to be marginal at best and pursuing another option would not be cost effective. Contents are purchased outright and are removed. The area is left broom cleaned.

Onsite Estate Auction
An onsite estate auction may be a viable option when the amount and quality of contents, location, weather and time of year lend themselves to this venue. Usually an onsite auction can occur when the estate is a large farm or a country location with a large amount of household, primitive, rustic, and larger items. An onsite estate auction can increase the financial value of the estate contents by selling directly to the end-user and due to the contents being considered fresh to the market. After an initial free consultation we do everything from start to finish including sorting, cleaning, set-up, hiring, security, advertising, promotion, conducting the auction and clean-up. We charge a 30% fee for onsite auctions.

Auction House Referral
In some cases your items can be consigned to an auction house. We wrap, pack and transport your items to the auction house where they are consigned for auction. Commission after sale will not exceed 40%.

Just need someone to take away your items free of charge? Most books, clothing, tools, household items, linens, toys and furniture in good condition can be taken away at no charge. Anna Q’s Attic is committed to assisting several local non-profits with a donation or sale of these items.

Although one man’s trash is another man’s treasure we are not a free trash pick-up service. For some items we will give you credit towards the cost of the clean-out. We do not remove hazardous or medical waste. These items must be removed, or arrangements made to be removed, by the owner before we will accept an estate clean-out. We reserve the right to decline to offer our services for clean-outs for any reason.

Since contracts are based upon the contents of an estate after making an assessment, we strongly encourage the family to remove any items of sentimental value BEFORE we conduct a walk through of the estate. Once a contract is signed for the removal of the contents of the estate, we ask that nothing else be removed.

We can travel to most parts of Vermont and into New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts within a reasonable distance. We are computer savvy and utilize the web for maximum exposure for our onsite estate sales and auctions. We have an extensive mailing and email list of followers and buyers. Our shop is a hub for activity in the antique, collectible, vintage and gently used markets. We don’t just skim off the good stuff in an estate and leave you to deal with the leftovers. We are considerate of your needs and emotional and financial well-being. Our goal is to get you the most money for your items–it’s that simple!

Consignment and eBay Sales
On occasion an item or a group of items may warrant the special effort of selling on consignment or on eBay. Those items will be placed under contract at a 45% commission. In 2005 we sold a rare tea cup and saucer online for $838.00!!! In 2007 we sold a 1914 cast iron baseball bank for $813.00.

About Anna Q's Attic
Anna Q’s Attic is owned and operated by Cindy Wade. Cindy grew up in rural Vermont on a large farm/ranch with 10 siblings. She prowls the Vermont countryside digging in closets, attics, cow barns, cellars, bunk houses, milk houses, garages, sheds and flea markets looking for old treasures. Growing up on a farm in the late 1950′s and early 1960′s allowed her to learn about old tools and items used in the day to day life of farm living. Many of the antiques and collectibles now found in shops were common everyday items used on the farm when Cindy was a child.

Cindy is also an artist and collector. She has a small studio located in the backwoods of Vermont nestled in the Green Mountains. She calls her side of the mountain Angel Ridge! She likes to draw and paint and is an avid photographer. Besides collecting metal 3 legged milking stools, like the ones used on the farm by her dad and brothers, she collects pottery Rempel horses and an odd assortment of iron wheels.

When cleaning out an estate or conducting an estate sale Cindy and her crew are knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. Her number one priority is the satisfaction of each client and the peace of mind her services bring to them. Each client’s privacy is respected and we pride ourselves on professionalism and experience. Our mission is to help you make as smooth a transition as possible while we eliminate the worry and work of liquidating an estate.
