<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 135371, member: 4552&quot;]Rules and laws about estate sales are similar to the rules and laws of garge, yard, moving sales. At least everywhere I ever have gone or have friends. For instance around here all it takes is time to hang the signs that say estate sale, Saturday, 8 to 4 or something like that. I go to these all the time. I hardly think or believe that the police or anyone ever arrests or tickets people for breaking any laws concerning them. Sort of like asking for taxes at a flea market around here. Or arresting some kids for having a lemon aide stand without a license. Just not done. Just remember there is a big difference in an estate sale and an estate auction.&nbsp; </p><p>As to such sales I just went to an estate sale a few miles from my house last Saturday. Picked up a sword that is a Made In Spain, 30&quot; Toledo blade, looked new for $10. I&#039;ve gotten coin albums, loose coins, guns, swords, knives and lots of other stuff at such sales. My best was a jar of old cents. I always ask if any old jars, cans, boxes of coins. This one time at an estate sales they produced a jar full of cents that was sceduled for the bank. The bottom was full of Indian Cents and the rest all looked like brand new Lincolns. I offered $5 and got it. They thought I was nuts because there was only about $3 worth in that jar. I later valued that jar full at about $5,000. Recently found a book of Nickels at a flea market. Almost filled a Buffalo Nickel Whitman Album and a Liberty Head Nickel Album with that and still had many, many left over. There was a total of 228 Buffalo Nickels alone in that book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
