I'm a frequent estate sale shopper, and I try hard not to miss Margie Beegle's events. She and her staff set fair and reasonable prices, stage the homes in ways that are appealing and organized, and control the in-flow of customers so that I can move around without running into others. I know that the prices she asks are consistent with the Houston market, and if I'm lucky I even find something special on the second day of her sales when prices sometimes are reduced. \r

She employs the same helpers consistently, which means I often run into familiar faces and feel quite comfortable. Ironically, she even has a consistent set of shoppers so we often encounter familiar faces while standing in line visiting about our estate sales experiences. As other reviewers have mentioned, she does have very clearly defined rules for how she transacts business, and customers are well-advised to heed those parameters. \r

I have never had the need to employ Margie Beegle as an estate sale service, but from a shopper's point of view, I mark her as #1 in my book.
Pros: Variety of and professionalism add to quirky shopping experience
Cons: Not really a con, but I wish she could host a sale every day of the week!
