I was lucky to find Larry and Kitty Ruhstaller. They handled my families estate sale. When I first called them I was overwhelmed with the amount of things my family had accumulated over 60 years. We put items in the store as well as had an estate sale at the house. They are so knowledgeable about antiques and all kinds of items. They made the whole process seem easy.
Thank you for a wonderful review. You made it easy for us to help!

Just a heads up. This business is permanently closed.
Tyler, we continue to do weekend estate sales and have a warehouse full of goods by appointment.

I do not recommend this estate service. Waited in line for approximately 1.5 hours in line with about 50-60 other people for an estate sale that consisted mainly of glassware, for this company to sell every piece of the glassware to the very first person (their acquaintance) in line before the sale even started for much less than it was worth. This is so unfair to the client who hired this Estate service and could have gotten so much more for their items, and all the people who came and waited in line for so long only to be told it is all sold before the sale started.

BEWARE!! - DO NOT use this company for any Estate sales or other types of sales. They do not keep proper records, do not sell items at a reasonable cost, and do not communicate with their customers effectively. They sell items to their friends and employees for pennies on the dollar and then the items are resold for more. They completely ripped us off and we feel like we've been personally robbed! It is UNACCEPTABLE and I feel like taking them to court for their actions.
With respect - we do not know Laura Evins and have never worked for her. We would wish that Laura had reached out directly to us with her concerns. We sell to regular customers who have over the years become friendly. Prices reflect the market.

Put deposit down went back to pick my item up whoever her staff member is is rude and wouldlt provide me a phone number to owner to get my items then started acting weird left will never come back again need better staff not some weirdo lady coming at peopke sideways...
Anthony - You know that the person asked you for your receipt and you did not have it. The person working at the store that day did not know who you were and without a receipt (you washed it) she was only doing her job. You did pick up your item too and had a friendly chat with the staff person.....so......
