JUST FOR THE RECORD... I AM A REAL PERSON AND WROTE THIS REVIEW. DID MY REVIEW SHOW UP AS A PLAGURIZED ONE? I'D LOVE TO KNOW! THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I WROTE. A LOT OF REVIEWS APPEARED AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE (AT A SALE) THE OTHER CUSTOMERS AND I GOT TO TALKING ABOUT THE SKETCHY REVIEWS THAT HAD SHOWN UP ABOUT BEEGLE SALES AND WE WANTED TO SHARE OUR EXPERIENCES TO SHOW THAT THERE IS ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW ABOUT THEM.THANK YOU~ SHAUN COHN Hi fellow estate sale shoppers~ Margie Beegle's sales are clean, well organized, the traffic pattern flows readily, and the policeman makes me feel safe among the occasional riff-raff that haunt estate sales. All of the aforementioned is very nice and all but I don't really care about all that. What I love is that I can collect a box full of random stuff and it is SO WELL PRICED. I am not one of her big spenders, I leave with purchases totaling less than 20 dollars, but she still greets me warmly and I know she's not just doing it to keep a big spender happy! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the digger sales. It is like treasure hunting! Now I never bother going to any of the other estate sales but I am still on their emailing lists. I am amused by how often I get amended emails from them with ""OOPS! WRONG LOCATION listed, so sorry!"" or ""Attention, this sales been cancelled."" I saw that she looked tired one day and it turned out she and a friend were up until 4 am (and mind you, she had an estate sale to run the next day) trying to catch some feral kittens in a part of town she was unfamiliar with because these cats ran the risk of starving. It turns out that this was no isolated incident. She spends a lot of time and money saving pets, feeding animals, keeping them out of shelters, and finding them homes. I will sometimes give her a dollar or two towards her animal saving efforts. If you go, you may want to consider it. One last thing. I have been to a few of her sales when people were given the boot (deservedly so, remember the riff-raff I mentioned earlier?) Anyway, guess what I thought the first time I saw someone getting the old heave-ho? I thought ""I bet they go home and slam Ms. Beegle's business on the web"". And I bet some of them have! One of the other things I like about her sales is the large cadre of Beegle shopper's, hard to imagine so many people would follow her around town unless her prices and services were worth it, and they are. See you there!
Pros: Realistic, fair prices. Unlike the other's, who price ""optimistically"". ANIMAL SAVER!!!!!!!!
Cons: Now I can't bring myself to go to other estate sales!
