The Best Day to Shop Estate Sales Can Be a Big Gamble

Estate sales typically last for three days over a weekend: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Since sellers are eager to move product, they will often discount items as the days progress. Friday is full price, Saturday is 25% off, and Sunday is 50% off. This can vary, depending on the estate sale, but since the ultimate goal is to clear a space and sell as much as possible, you can usually count on steeper discounts the longer the sale continues.
