What other fees will I pay?Setup, advertising, dumpsters, cleanout and card-processing fees add up.

Do you let anyone in before the sale?Early entry for dealers is one of the most common complaints families have.

What happens to items that don't sell?Donated, hauled away, or left for you, and who pays for it.
