Thought that this article was insightful and points out the need to be very careful then vetting a company to run an estate sale. It is very possible to be taken advantage of if you have assets of significant value and are uninformed.

The owner/operator of this particular estate sale company has a very long and checkered past. Parsons is notorious in the coin collecting community for running a now bankrupt company (THR & Associates) that sent "hotel buyers" all over the country using questionable business practices to buy coin collections, jewelry, and other collectables for pennies on the dollar.

 

We have the same type situation here in Columbia, SC. This guy has been arrested, been all over the local TV news & in the newspaper, yet people still hire his company to do estate sales.

I seriously do not know how these people live with themselves or sleep at night. I guess that I was taught differently by my parents & would not even think of doing this to someone.
