Top 5 Expensive Homes (5)

The sale is spread across a large concrete-floored garage or shop, a back shed, an indoor pool room and the yard of a rural Estacada parcel, so the goods are mixed, utilitarian and accumulated rather than a curated interior. The standouts are a quartersawn tiger-oak slant-front desk with a Craftsman look, a round oak pedestal table with claw feet, an antique oak serpentine-front dresser and an oak icebox, plus a well-made German Erzgebirge-style wooden Christmas pyramid and a Pacific Stoneware Portland No. 2 crock. A bin of old hand tools appears to include a plane that may be worth a look. Beyond those pieces, the Christmas section is very large but mass-market: dozens of totes of light strings, silk poinsettias, and Santa and snowman figurines. The rest is filler, including pressed and cut glass, giftware figurines, Corelle-type dishes, decor-grade gilt mirrors, floral still lifes, hobby-store prints, Colonial-style buffet and hutch pieces, floral sofas, nostalgia items like Barbie-type dolls, VHS tapes and a Davy Crockett tin playset, and a Gucci-pattern duffel of unknown authenticity. The garage, shed and yard side is ordinary hardware, an inflatable boat, an irrigation controller, a compressor and garden chemicals, and there are no books, silver, hi-fi or notable art. Items are individually visible and tagged with green dots, though the crowding means a lot of digging for little payoff.

The house is an established Pacific Northwest home with water views through tall window walls, oak hardwood floors, a slate tile entry, custom cherry kitchen cabinetry and timber beams. The strongest category is vintage Pendleton wool: at least four blankets and throws, including a Beaver State Robes and Shawls label, a Pendleton Woolen Mills Portland Oregon label, pure virgin wool plaid fringed throws and a striped serape-style blanket. Other good items are a signed Duane Morgan 'Amber Aspen' limited-edition photograph (AP-1, 16x20, with certificate) in a good frame, an orange enameled cast-iron Dutch oven, a Wüsthof-style knife block (the knives themselves are worth a look), and a closet of boxed designer shoes and bags that includes Dior slingbacks, Moncler, Paul Green loafers and Lucchese boots. Beyond those, the furniture is decorator and country in style rather than high-end: a red-painted armoire and sideboard, barnwood and painted-pine cabinets, ladderback chairs, and a worn leather club chair with ottoman and a cognac leather sofa. The kitchen is mostly Pyrex, nonstick bakeware, Vitamix and Breville, with nothing like the All-Clad or Le Creuset suggested in the listing apart from the one Dutch oven. The framed Provençal lavender and olive-grove prints are decorative offset reproductions, and the bookcase holds ordinary trade paperbacks and cookbooks. A sizable collection of Leo R. Smith III resin Christmas and Halloween figures, with numbered certificates and original boxes, is mass-market limited-edition giftware priced at $1 to $10 on plastic folding tables. There are also no tools (the Makita cases are empty) and no hi-fi, and the remaining small lots are ordinary clothing, shoes, a space heater and pressed glass.

The house is a comfortable, established 1970s Pacific Northwest contemporary on a wooded lot, listed around $1.03M, with red cedar siding, vaulted ceilings, a full brick fireplace wall, picture windows onto the garden, oak floors in the main rooms and stone-slab entry paving. It looks architecturally interesting, but only the main living areas were photographed in detail, and the other rooms are builder-grade, with popcorn ceilings, beige carpet in the den and a laminate-and-veneer kitchen. The strongest goods are about a dozen hand-knotted Persian, Afghan and Baluch wool rugs (Bokhara-style, Baluch prayer rugs, Hamadan-type and Oushak-style), tagged with blue tape. Next comes a deep antique bottle and jar collection of well over 100 tagged pieces on custom wall shelves, including canning jars, milk bottles, insulators and demijohns, many with applied lips and in a range of colors. A nautical and sea-life collection adds a mounted marlin or wahoo, giant clam and conch shells (not sold individually), flags, buoys and anchors. Other pieces include antique printer's-type cabinets, a mahogany-style bow-front sideboard, a carved camphor chest, vintage hi-fi (a Technics-labeled cabinet, a wood-cased receiver, a reel-to-reel and records) and a long National Geographic run, though the hi-fi brands are not legible in the photos. Expect caution elsewhere: the kitchen is ordinary stainless, Corningware and enamel, the books are mostly paperbacks and trade hardcovers, and the workshop tools (a radial arm saw, bandsaw and drill press among them) are mixed, plastic-bin grade. The garage and carport hold engine blocks, mowers, generators, a USMC-marked trailer and automotive fluids, with no antiques or fine pieces beyond one possibly solid-wood mid-century desk. The listing is broad and generic and the sale is full, though aisles stay open and goods are visible.

The house is a custom-built home, probably from the 1990s-2000s, listed around $971k, with wide-plank floors, a slate entry, maple cabinetry, granite counters and a stone fountain niche; it is well kept and the goods are grouped and photographed individually at normal density. The best pieces are older American furniture: an Art Deco Mount Airy burl-veneer dresser with oval mirror, tall chest and matching cabinet nightstand, a Drexel bow-front dresser with a small matching bedside table, a flame-mahogany Duncan Phyfe-style dresser, mirror and nightstand, a Lane waterfall cedar chest with its original label, and a mahogany slant-front secretary with ball-and-claw feet. Also notable are Roseville pottery in Magnolia, Clematis and Freesia, a signed Kosta Boda crystal bowl, a Lenox bowl, a 9x12 handwoven Chinese wool rug, Pendleton blankets, signed Carol Grigg prints and an oil-on-canvas Dutch landscape in a gilt frame. The crafts depth is real, with a Husqvarna Viking Quilt Designer machine, sorted fabric and bead drawers, a Glastar grinder and a Dremel Moto-Flex, and the garage holds ordinary homeowner tools including Stanley Bailey planes. Caution is warranted on the three-light lily-pad table lamp: it is a well-made Tiffany-style revival (the sale's own caption says 'Tiffany Style Pond Lilly'), not an antique, so price should reflect that. The dark espresso king-bed set is modern retail, and the Southwestern silver and turquoise jewelry could not be authenticated from photos, with the Tiffany item only a key ring. Much of the bulk is Christmas and Hallmark ornaments, baskets, whimsical decor and a mid-range stereo with no tower speakers, and there are no restrooms on site and a long drive to Sisters.

The property is a commercial parcel, a closed restaurant (Libbie's) with a shop and basement storage, so this is a business liquidation mixed with an accumulated stock of vintage goods and not a household sale. Rooms are a jazz-themed lounge with vinyl booths plus a garage-style shop with concrete floors and shelving, all tagged with orange stickers and crowded but visible. The deepest groups are about 20 or more vintage suitcase and children's record players (Lionel, Silvertone, Philco, Emerson, Decca and others) with roughly 10 Bakelite and tube radios, and a table of about 20 American mantel and tambour clocks including Sessions and New Haven examples, walnut and mahogany tambour cases and two Victorian rosewood shelf clocks. Other standouts are a Singer Featherweight 221, several KitchenAid stand mixers, a tray of US silver coins (Morgan and Peace dollars, Walking Liberty and Franklin halves, Barber coins and a small silver bar), and a case of pocket knives with Victorinox, Camillus and bone-handled examples. Furniture is minor but real wood, including a flame-mahogany veneer cabinet pair, an oak bow-front dresser and an oak ice-box style cabinet. Caution is warranted: beer-promo signs, pool-table lights and bar memorabilia dominate, tools are mostly consumer Ryobi, Craftsman and cordless gear, jewelry is costume or silver-tone priced $4 to $25, and framed art is mall-grade prints. There are no books, rugs, fine art or serious hi-fi, and the sale company's track record runs below average.

This is a well-kept, long-lived suburban house, likely a 1990s-2000s build, with tray and textured ceilings, tile and carpet, and every surface filled with decorative china, glass and collectibles. The standout is a multi-arm lily lamp with ruffled, trumpet-shaped art-glass shades on curving bronze-finished stalks; it is a late-20th-century Tiffany-inspired piece rather than leaded antique glass, and the base was not visible in the photos. Other good pieces include a quarter-sawn oak corner china cabinet with bowed glass, a pair of weighted three-light candelabra and a gadroon-rim creamer that look like sterling (no hallmarks were readable), Waterford-style cut crystal, a fitted silverplate flatware chest, gilt-framed oil paintings, a cylinder music box, dozens of antique German porcelain half-dolls, and a large Belleek parian shamrock collection. Jewelry tables are tagged around $14-$26 and include carved jade-type pendants, cinnabar bangles and many silver-tone bangles. Be cautious: roughly half the photos show mass-market Christmas figures (Jim Shore, nutcrackers, Lowell Davis-style bears), and there is a lot of boxed Lenox and similar collectibles. The rubber-stamp and Cricut-type craft stash is large but mass-market, and the kitchenware, tools, audio and furniture are everyday-grade apart from the oak cabinet. The sale runs 50% off on Saturday and Dollar Day on Sunday, and the company's track record is slightly above average.

The house is a long-lived-in, builder-grade to mid-grade home on a rural road at the edge of Hillsboro farmland, with wall-to-wall carpet, paneling, a stone fireplace and laminate kitchen counters; the listing also mentions a barn and a basement. The strongest items are a Dynaco FM tuner and a PAS-type preamp in walnut cases, plus a walnut KLH-style bookshelf speaker, which are small in number but real vintage hi-fi. The N-scale layout is deep and fully built, with multiple levels, bridges, tunnels, a bank of switch-machine controls, a Railpower 1300 throttle and Woodland Scenics supplies, though it is a fixed plywood layout that is hard to move unless it is broken down. Furniture includes veneer mid-century case pieces, an oak washstand with carved drawer fronts and brass pulls, a Howard Miller-style oak grandfather clock with a moon-phase dial, and Drexel furniture named in the listing. There is also a large, well-organized Christmas collection on pine shelving and a Fisher-Price Little People shelf with boxed Play Family sets. Caution is warranted because most of the contents are soft goods and kitsch: racks of vintage clothing, plush, linens, Avon bottles, carnival and ruby glass, and cookie jars, with no sign of silver, a book library or fine art. The listing leans heavily on nostalgia and collectibles, and the barn tools and outdoor gear are described only in general terms. Tables are crowded, but items are visible and priced.

This is a commercial marine and welding shop plus sheds, a barn and a box trailer in West Linn, not a household sale, with concrete floors, painted plywood walls and aluminum diamond-plate carts and shelves. The marine and fabrication work is fairly deep: Mercury 9.9 ProKicker and larger outboards on custom stands, welders and plasma gear, a sandblast cabinet, a roughly 20-lb anvil on a wheel-hub stand, cast and Olympia bench vises, and many labeled bins of fittings, hose and fuel parts. The best-looking pieces are a Delta table saw with a Biesemeyer-style fence and some older pipe wrenches, axes and bars with wood handles and real age. Most of the tools, though, are Ryobi, Husky, Harbor Freight/Central Pneumatic and Pittsburgh, and the rest is farm and garage filler such as gas cans, tires, fence supplies, appliances and surf gear. There is also a low oak 12-drawer cabinet on casters that looks like flat-file storage, but it appears to be modern veneer over particleboard, and the drawer interiors were not visible. A box of Beanie Babies and McDonald's Teenie Beanies, 1990s sports cards and Wheaties boxes add nostalgia filler, while there is no furniture, art, rugs or hi-fi to speak of. The auction is run in bulk lots, so you win a whole lot and cannot cherry-pick single items, which makes the few better pieces harder to justify chasing.

The house is a builder-grade 1980s-90s suburban home with beige carpet, popcorn ceilings and wallpaper borders, though it has red-oak built-ins and a brick fireplace; the contents are better than the architecture. The photographed camera collection is the deepest area: a Leica body marked Ernst Leitz Wetzlar in a leather case, an Elmar 9cm lens, Leitz viewfinders and a meter, a Kowa Super 66 kit, a Mamiya Press, Minolta XK, X-700 and SRT 101 bodies, and a boxed Canon 6D and Rebel T2i (EF/EF-S mount). A full darkroom goes with it: a 4x5 view camera on a Regitar tripod, a Beseler enlarger, a color analyzer, timers, Paterson tanks and Kodachrome and paper stock. The garage holds a complete Shopsmith Mark V with many accessories still boxed, plus Delta, DeWalt and Makita tools, routers and clamps. Other good pieces include a pair of DCM TimeFrame oak-trimmed towers with a center channel (respectable mid-to-upper consumer hi-fi, not boutique), blue Le Creuset enameled cast iron, a Pyrex Flameware teapot, an antique hand-knotted Afghan Turkmen rug of about 6'8" x 9'8", and a pair of bentwood oak lounge chairs. The art includes a signed Ray Bethers woodcut, signed etchings, a numbered Zena Kavin lithograph, Harry Rucks serigraphs, a Ginsberg-signed broadside and a deep run of Robert Joseph Ficarra originals, along with Belleek, Wedgwood jasper, Murano glass and a uranium glass group. The twin pair of frosted pink lily-bell glass table lamps with cast lily-pad bases is genuine glass and cast metal, but it is a late-20th-century reproduction, not Art Nouveau. Much of the rest is filler: Hummel-type figures, Lladro, collector plates, Native-themed decor, mall prints, mainstream CDs, VHS, cassettes, caps and band shirts, budget-brand garage tools and watches that look like replicas. The sale runs to 653 photos and is full, though sorted into zones, and the listing's hype ("wickedly rare") overstates it.

The house is a well-kept, mid-2000s suburban build with red-oak floors, oak shaker cabinets, quartz counters, textured drywall and a stone corner fireplace. Nothing in it is period or architectural. The better pieces include a mahogany lyre-base oval pedestal table with brass cap feet, a mid-century walnut six-drawer chest with inlay lines, and an antique quarter-sawn oak slant-front desk. Also photographed were a Japanese ink scroll painting, a Tibetan thangka, a Pendleton wool plaid blanket with leather strap, a Joseph Poppie astrakhan coat with mink collar, and a large Noritake "Phoebe" china set with gold handles, platters, covered dishes and a gravy boat, plus cut-crystal decanters. Caution is warranted because most of the contents are modern: faux plants, lanterns, faux-leather trunks, Instant Pot and Krups appliances, and Linens-n-Things glassware. Much of the other furniture is lightweight or factory-made, including a particle-board-style nightstand, stained-pine and distressed-finish chests, and a painted hutch. The books are mostly Harry Potter and children's paperbacks with a few old set volumes, and there are no tools of depth, hi-fi or serious collections. The garage holds folding tables of box lots (fans, heaters, yard tools, camping and kayak gear), so expect a lot of sorting for a handful of good finds.

The house is a 1990s builder-grade home with oak-veneer doors, textured walls, vertical blinds, and laminate and carpet floors. It sits on rural acreage with a large metal shop. The shop is the draw: a Case 450 crawler loader, a Miller Big 20 welding-generator trailer, a Gold Wing GL1000 with Eliminator II fairing, a 1960s Chevy stepside project truck, a 1930s coupe body on a chassis, a red Waterloo-style roll-around tool chest, an oxy-acetylene torch cart, an engine hoist, two compressors, a drill press and two bench vises. The shop is crowded and dusty but organized by item. Inside, the best furniture is a yew and burl-veneer dining suite (oval table with inlay banding, rail-back chairs, sideboard and glass-door hutch), a carved Spanish-style bookcase cabinet, and an Art Deco waterfall cedar chest. A wide oak chest of shallow drawers with recessed pulls may be a flat-file cabinet, but the photos show no drawer interiors or maker's mark, so it could just as easily be a media or bedroom chest. The dining suite is veneer, a mid-grade period piece rather than solid wood. Audio is modest vintage: a Sony three-motor reel-to-reel, a Pioneer stereo stack and a CD tower with a few hundred discs. Much of the rest is Harley-Davidson apparel, helmets, furs, tin toys, magazines and handbags in the style of Louis Vuitton and Hermes, whose authenticity is doubtful. The house is full but not hoarded, with folding tables of clothing and knickknacks.

The house is a modest, builder-grade manufactured home with wood paneling, popcorn-style ceilings, hollow-core doors and wall-to-wall carpet, so it offers no architectural interest and the better goods come from long-term collecting. The standout area is a dedicated sewing room with shelves and bins of sorted fabric, a Brother Innov-is Dreamweaver embroidery machine, an Elnapress steam press, quilting batting, finished quilts, and a weaving stash of cone yarn priced at $5 each. The real period furniture includes a c. 1900 quartersawn oak serpentine dresser with carved door panels, a matching carved oak headboard, a Singer treadle machine in an oak cabinet, a 19th-century washstand at $200, and a Hoosier-style cabinet. Large pegboards hold bagged, priced vintage and sterling jewelry, with some Victorian and Edwardian pieces according to the listing, along with trays of loose beads and findings but no jewelry-making tools. Also on offer are a Gemeinhardt silver flute in its case, a mahogany workbench with vise and hand tools, a KitchenAid mixer, an older Cuisinart processor and a Murano-style cased-glass lamp. Much of the volume is mid-range decor such as crystal, pressed glass, perfume bottles, tins, wicker baskets and trinket boxes, audio is limited to a Bose Wave radio and a small Sharp mini-system, and the sale company's track record runs slightly below average. Nearly everything is tagged and the rooms are packed but orderly.

The sale appears to be held in a community hall or church basement, with folding tables and overflow in a garage and truck bed, so nothing about the house interior can be judged; the home value in Kelso, Washington is around $84,600, in a modest older-housing market, and the contents fit that, running to hobby goods and vintage kitsch rather than fine furniture or art. The strongest depth is fishing and fly tying: a floor rack with 30-plus rods, a table of 50-plus spinning and baitcasting reels, drawer towers of feathers, chenille and hooks, and a fly-tying vise with thread, though the tackle looks mostly modern mid-range rather than high-end. The View-Master and 3D viewer holdings include several black Bakelite viewers, a GAF Talking View-Master, boxed light attachments from Sawyer's of Portland, Oregon, and Pana-Vue viewers and reels, while the HO trains include many boxed Athearn and Roundhouse kits and cars. Genuine period pieces are an antique brass National cash register with marble shelf and oak base and a Western Electric oak-cased treadle-style sewing machine with gold decals, along with an art glass vase and bowl, a coiled Native-style basket and a Hilti tool case. Much of the rest is kitsch and collectibles: Hummel-type figurines, WWE and King Kong figures, 1990s comics, beer signs and clocks, and Nylint trucks. No furniture, rugs, books, art or hi-fi appeared in the photos, and the set shows only about 26 distinct views. Tables are full but sorted, with items visible, and the company's track record runs slightly below average.

The house is an ordinary mid-range suburban home with an attached garage, builder-grade to mid-range finishes (laminate wood-look floors, popcorn ceilings, granite-tile kitchen counters, maple shaker cabinets), and the contents match: average, lived-in household goods. The best furniture is a maple/cherry-toned Early American hutch, a carved-back dining set with an extension table, a cedar chest, a small oak-look desk, two oak/maple dressers and a Stressless-style leather recliner with ottoman, all of which look like older solid wood in the photos. Also worth a look are mid-century hand-painted dinnerware (a pink passion-flower pattern), a Noritake-style gray-rose set and a crate of vinyl LPs including the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, Elton John and Rolling Stones-type records. The small goods are mostly collectibles: Disney and Mickey toys and plush, diecast cars, Tyco/HO trains, lunchboxes, Department 56-style lit villages, Breyer-type horses, Russian nesting dolls, mallard decoys and an Oregon Ducks theme. Most other furniture is mass-market, including a fabric sofa, rattan loveseat, particle-board shelves and plastic bins, and the electronics are dated (Samsung flat TV, Sony boombox, VCR, DVDs). The garage is mostly chemicals, paint cans and lawn tools with nothing in the way of serious tools, and there is no hi-fi gear or notable art. On the practical side, the ordinary amount of clutter makes it easy to shop.

The house is a small, older home with textured plaster walls and arched doorways, and the contents are mid-market and decorative rather than fine furnishings. The best part is the vinyl: several boxes of roughly 60-100 LPs each, with early Bob Dylan (Freewheelin' in stereo, the mono debut, Blonde on Blonde), a Them Parrot mono, Blind Faith, Tim Buckley, Donovan's Sunshine Superman, The Band, Jethro Tull's Benefit and Bee Gees Odessa in the red velvet cover. Beyond records, there are some better ceramics (Wedgwood blue jasperware, marked Noritake, a chintz biscuit barrel), an antique bird's-eye maple or birch-veneer serpentine chest with brass bail pulls, a walnut regulator wall clock, and two black mantel clocks, one possibly Sessions. The colored glass is deep, covering Fenton hobnail, ruby, cranberry, uranium and vaseline pieces (photographed under blacklight) and pink depression glass, but it is collectible-grade rather than rare. The large Coca-Cola collection is mostly licensed 1990s-2000s items, many still boxed, and the souvenir spoons are mostly plated tourist pieces. Be cautious about the furniture, since a green damask bench looks like a reproduction and the shelving is cheap laminate, and the art is mass-produced prints. The photos are dim and flash-lit with some dust, and the record sleeves show ring wear and edge damage, so vinyl condition is unknown. There are no tools, hi-fi gear, cookware or notable books to speak of.

The house is a 1990s-2000s tract home in a Salem subdivision backing onto a golf course, with vinyl plank floors, textured walls, builder-grade cabinets and no period details. Contents match it: mid-grade traditional furniture, including a tufted burgundy leather Chesterfield-style sofa and pressboard or veneer curios and bookcases, plus big-box household goods. The few better items are a Persian-style room rug of about 8x10 that looks like hand-knotted or hand-tufted wool, an antique oak treadle sewing machine cabinet from roughly 1900-1920, an antique dome-top steamer trunk with painted paper panels, Royal Albert Old Country Roses sets and bone china teacups, and some local studio pottery bowls. A boxed Sega Genesis CDX with Sega CD games, Master System cartridges and a boxed Game Boy Advance is the most collectible group, and there is a boxed sterling Italy bracelet and some sterling-marked jewelry, though most of the jewelry looks like costume. Most of the sale is mass-market limited editions: dozens of boxed Harbour Lights lighthouses, about 40 bells, Steinbach nutcrackers, Anchor Bay ship models, Heritage Village pieces, Royal Doulton and Bossons character jugs, Thomas Kinkade canvases, prints and plates, and several decorator oils signed L. Smith in gilt frames. The listing's claims of a fully loaded workshop, enameled cast iron and copper cookware, and fine furniture are not borne out by the photos: the tools are Ridgid, Skil, Stanley and Irwin, the kitchen is ceramic-coated nonstick, Pyrex and Corelle, and the audio is just a soundbar. The garage is packed and hard to see into, tables are crowded, and the company's past sales have graded poorly, so expect breadth of collectibles rather than quality.

This is a well-kept, long-lived suburban house, likely a 1990s-2000s build, with tray and textured ceilings, tile and carpet, and every surface filled with decorative china, glass and collectibles. The standout is a multi-arm lily lamp with ruffled, trumpet-shaped art-glass shades on curving bronze-finished stalks; it is a late-20th-century Tiffany-inspired piece rather than leaded antique glass, and the base was not visible in the photos. Other good pieces include a quarter-sawn oak corner china cabinet with bowed glass, a pair of weighted three-light candelabra and a gadroon-rim creamer that look like sterling (no hallmarks were readable), Waterford-style cut crystal, a fitted silverplate flatware chest, gilt-framed oil paintings, a cylinder music box, dozens of antique German porcelain half-dolls, and a large Belleek parian shamrock collection. Jewelry tables are tagged around $14-$26 and include carved jade-type pendants, cinnabar bangles and many silver-tone bangles. Be cautious: roughly half the photos show mass-market Christmas figures (Jim Shore, nutcrackers, Lowell Davis-style bears), and there is a lot of boxed Lenox and similar collectibles. The rubber-stamp and Cricut-type craft stash is large but mass-market, and the kitchenware, tools, audio and furniture are everyday-grade apart from the oak cabinet. The sale runs 50% off on Saturday and Dollar Day on Sunday, and the company's track record is slightly above average.

The house is a modest, lived-in 1950s-70s ranch with builder-grade finishes: birch kitchen cabinets, vinyl tile, popcorn ceilings, wall-to-wall or shag carpet and oak strip floors in the bedrooms. The sale spreads through the rooms, the garage and a yard of pop-up tents, and is run by The Rusty Trunk LLC, which sells everything as-is with no returns. The standout is the CD collection, photographed as about a dozen labeled boxes and bins (an estimated 1,000-2,000 discs on one table alone) plus several towers and shelf units elsewhere, so the total looks like thousands across rock, folk, classical and soundtracks. Several hundred LPs and 45s are spread across multiple rooms, including crates of classic rock, soundtracks and cast albums, and some early US Beatles pressings (Vee-Jay Introducing the Beatles, Capitol Yesterday and Today). The hi-fi is mid-range 1980s-90s gear, including a Technics turntable, Marantz CD player, Teac cassette deck, Yamaha receiver, Sony components and wood-cabinet bookshelf speakers, with no standout speakers. Other items of note are an older, 1930s-looking acoustic guitar in a worn case beside a new-tag Fender acoustic, a large Mikasa Intaglio stoneware set, English bone china teacups, an impasto oil seascape in a stained pine frame and a KitchenAid Classic Plus stand mixer. Expect heavy collectible content (boxed Campbell's Kids and Hallmark ornaments, Department 56-style houses, Beanie Babies, McDonald's premiums, Barbie items, rooster decor), common maple and veneer colonial-style furniture, thin stainless cookware, paperback book stock and consumer-grade yard tools. Several areas are outdoors on damp grass, so goods are crowded and wet, and with 356 photos of mostly filler the sale takes real digging.

The sale is in a well-kept Craftsman-style bungalow in an established inner northeast Portland neighborhood, with fir and oak floors, built-in glass-front cabinets beside a tiled fireplace, wainscoting and a turned-newel staircase. The best items are the gilt-framed landscape oils hung in the stairwell, dining room, hall and TV room; they look original in photos, but signatures and quality need checking in person. Other better pieces include a Lenox-style cream china service with platinum rims in large quantity, plenty of crystal stemware, Spode-style transferware, an oak slant-front secretary with a mirror crest, Eastlake carved walnut side chairs, a mahogany Queen Anne-style dining set and Persian/Heriz-style wool rugs in three rooms. The attic holds a large, well-organized quilting and fabric stash with a sewing machine in a cabinet, but it is consumer-grade fabric and supplies and adds little. Most of the rest is mid-range: an IKEA-style cherry-tone kitchen with KitchenAid and Cuisinart appliances, knotty pine bedroom furniture, casual and melamine dinnerware, decor-store canvas prints, and many mostly machine-made baskets, figurines and stuffed animals. The garage and basement offer ordinary lawn tools, a treadmill and a small pegboard workbench of mixed hand tools, and there is no serious audio gear beyond a small receiver and a modest shelf of CDs and VHS tapes.

The house is an established two-story suburban home in the Bethany area of northwest Portland, builder-grade to mid-range, with beige carpet, oak floors in places and a brick fireplace. The strongest goods are solid-wood pieces: Amish-made Borkholder highboy, writing desk, end tables and entry cabinet, Bob Timberlake bookcases and TV cabinet, a cherry breakfront china cabinet, a Windsor bench, and a Chippendale-style dining table with ribbonback chairs (about eight), plus crewel-style wingbacks. Two Ekornes Stressless leather recliner sets with ottomans are the named-brand seating. The art is modest but real: signed Carol Grigg prints, signed black-and-white landscape photographs, cyanotype flower prints and Northwest Coast formline pieces. Household names include Le Creuset Dutch ovens, a copper saucepan, a Miele B 990 rotary ironer, Wedgwood Wild Strawberry, Nicholas Mosse spongeware, a Herman Miller Aeron chair and a Pfaff Creative sewing machine with a hand-made quilt setup. A cut-crystal stemware lot is listed as Waterford Marquis. The cherry nightstands appear as single pieces in the photos rather than matched pairs. Caution is warranted because a lot of the sale is collectible or mass-market: Lladro-type figurines, Hummels, Margaret Furlong ornaments, a large signed Lefever Santa and shell-angel collection, reproduction made-in-China wind-up tin toys, Longaberger-type baskets and costume jewelry. The garage holds ordinary homeowner power tools (Ryobi, DeWalt, EGO, Skilsaw) rather than a serious workshop, and there is no notable library or audio gear. Some of the furniture is builder-grade or particle board, and the larger items carry price tags, so expect to sort through plenty of ordinary goods.

The house is a mid-2000s semi-custom build in Salmon Creek, Vancouver WA, with wide-plank hardwood floors, a stone fireplace, knotty-alder cabinets and a vaulted living room, so this is a traditional household sale rather than a period-home clearance. The strongest items are a full Minton "Bellemeade"-style bone china set (cream with blue florals and gold rim, with teapot, coffee pot, creamer, sugar, many plates, cups and cream-soup bowls) and a large set of cut-crystal stemware and brandy snifters priced around $4 each. Also notable are a red marble and bronze French mantel clock with a bronze bust and visible open escapement, a Quimper-style faience desk set with clock and inkwells, a red-painted Queen Anne-style high chest, a carved giltwood bergère in coral velvet, a mahogany valet stand, copper pieces including a coal scuttle, pail and hammered pot, and a brass bar cart. Much of the furniture reads as solid wood or good reproduction rather than clearly old, and the wall art is mostly decorative gilt-framed oils, charcoal portraits and mirrors that were not photographed in a way that suggests collectible work. Expect a lot of mainstream filler, including a wicker patio set, vinyl-tufted dining chairs, a mattress, an inversion table, luggage, Christmas decor and a tub of handbags, along with many porcelain figurines, Depression and cranberry glass. No tools, hi-fi equipment or notable books were seen in the photos, and everything is priced with dot stickers. The estate company has a slightly above-average track record, but overall this is a modest sale worth a trip mainly for the china and crystal.

The house is a modest, established mid-century brick ranch with oak floors, ordinary and lived-in, with no notable period or built-in details, and the sale spreads across the rooms, garage, basement and yard. The strongest area is the garage, with 50+ fly and other rods, Orvis and Wright & McGill rod tubes, dozens of fly boxes, about 40 jars of feathers and furs for fly tying, a vise, Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reels, vintage lures and angling books, plus roughly 25 axes and hatchets (Hudson Bay, camp and splitting types, a few with Gransfors-style handles). The best furniture is a large quarter-sawn oak Arts-and-Crafts library table with copper strap hardware and through-tenon legs, of Stickley-school quality or a good period copy; a quarter-sawn oak side-by-side secretary with a beveled mirror, a mahogany slant-front secretary with glazed doors, an oak Mission settle and a quartersawn oak desk/server round out the antiques. Smaller groups include 15 or more pieces of cast iron (Lodge, Crescent Foundry Ozark), a few vintage typewriters, a Kawai upright piano and some 1960s-70s Hot Wheels Redlines, though many of the cast-iron pieces are rusty and the Redlines are play-worn and unboxed. Most of what remains is mass-market: Star Trek, baseball and Garbage Pail Kids cards, comics, Knowles and Bradford plates, Jim Beam decanters, lady head vases, costume jewelry and Halloween and Christmas kitsch. The Tiffany-style lamps are reproductions, the dishes are mostly Liberty Blue, Corelle and Pyrex, the audio is small consumer gear, and the tools are mostly homeowner grade. The good pieces are scattered among many tables of ordinary goods, so expect to hunt for them.

The house is a long-lived-in, builder-grade to mid-grade home on a rural road at the edge of Hillsboro farmland, with wall-to-wall carpet, paneling, a stone fireplace and laminate kitchen counters; the listing also mentions a barn and a basement. The strongest items are a Dynaco FM tuner and a PAS-type preamp in walnut cases, plus a walnut KLH-style bookshelf speaker, which are small in number but real vintage hi-fi. The N-scale layout is deep and fully built, with multiple levels, bridges, tunnels, a bank of switch-machine controls, a Railpower 1300 throttle and Woodland Scenics supplies, though it is a fixed plywood layout that is hard to move unless it is broken down. Furniture includes veneer mid-century case pieces, an oak washstand with carved drawer fronts and brass pulls, a Howard Miller-style oak grandfather clock with a moon-phase dial, and Drexel furniture named in the listing. There is also a large, well-organized Christmas collection on pine shelving and a Fisher-Price Little People shelf with boxed Play Family sets. Caution is warranted because most of the contents are soft goods and kitsch: racks of vintage clothing, plush, linens, Avon bottles, carnival and ruby glass, and cookie jars, with no sign of silver, a book library or fine art. The listing leans heavily on nostalgia and collectibles, and the barn tools and outdoor gear are described only in general terms. Tables are crowded, but items are visible and priced.

The property is a commercial parcel, a closed restaurant (Libbie's) with a shop and basement storage, so this is a business liquidation mixed with an accumulated stock of vintage goods and not a household sale. Rooms are a jazz-themed lounge with vinyl booths plus a garage-style shop with concrete floors and shelving, all tagged with orange stickers and crowded but visible. The deepest groups are about 20 or more vintage suitcase and children's record players (Lionel, Silvertone, Philco, Emerson, Decca and others) with roughly 10 Bakelite and tube radios, and a table of about 20 American mantel and tambour clocks including Sessions and New Haven examples, walnut and mahogany tambour cases and two Victorian rosewood shelf clocks. Other standouts are a Singer Featherweight 221, several KitchenAid stand mixers, a tray of US silver coins (Morgan and Peace dollars, Walking Liberty and Franklin halves, Barber coins and a small silver bar), and a case of pocket knives with Victorinox, Camillus and bone-handled examples. Furniture is minor but real wood, including a flame-mahogany veneer cabinet pair, an oak bow-front dresser and an oak ice-box style cabinet. Caution is warranted: beer-promo signs, pool-table lights and bar memorabilia dominate, tools are mostly consumer Ryobi, Craftsman and cordless gear, jewelry is costume or silver-tone priced $4 to $25, and framed art is mall-grade prints. There are no books, rugs, fine art or serious hi-fi, and the sale company's track record runs below average.

The house is a newer subdivision home with builder-grade finishes (plank flooring, quartz counters, textured walls, beige bedroom carpet) and no period features. It is neat, with small tags on items laid out on tables, and the clutter is a normal full-sale amount with aisles open. The better pieces are few: an antique quarter-sawn oak round parlor table with turned spindle legs and glass-ball-and-claw feet, a small oak machinist-style multi-drawer tool chest with dovetailed corners, and a signed oil-on-canvas still life of a Chianti bottle, fruit and grapes in a worn painted frame (signed Nita Scott). Useful but modest extras include a Vitamix 5200, a Zojirushi rice cooker, an Audio-Technica direct-drive turntable (the only mid-tier hi-fi item), Kosta Boda boxed glass ornaments at $20 and a Waterford ornament, and the listing mentions sterling jewelry that wasn't seen in the photos. Against that, the cookware is nonstick granite-coated, the furniture is mostly modern mass-market, and the large Christmas stock is largely Hallmark Keepsake and similar. The tools are homeowner grade (a Husky rolling chest, a Craftsman polisher, bins of hardware), the electronics are consumer computer speakers and RAM, and the craft room is hobby-store stock. Fiestaware-style and MacKenzie-Childs-style dishes, Brighton-style bags and a Gucci-marked bag that may be a replica are logo items rather than quality finds, and the red Bokhara-style rug would need its wool content checked in person.

The sale is in a 2000s-era tract-style house with wood-look laminate floors, textured walls, quartz-look counters and builder-grade carpet, and the contents match: contemporary, mass-market and tidy, with items priced on tables and in bins. The standout is a quarter-sawn oak parlor table with a scalloped top, bobbin-turned legs and ball-and-claw glass-foot feet. The home gym is a decent mid-range setup: two Olympic-style chrome barbells, a third standard-size bar, cast-iron Standard-brand plates in 10, 25 and 35 lb, plus cardio machines and a power tower. Only one plate was seen clearly and no loaded bar was photographed. Smaller items of some interest include a Vitamix 5200, a Zojirushi rice cooker, sterling and turquoise jewelry (discounted only 25%), a small oil painting of fruit and wine, and a red-ground Bokhara-style rug whose hand- or machine-made construction couldn't be told from the photos. Be cautious about the rest: non-stick cookware, a faux-leather pub dining set, microfiber and sectional seating, and a lot of Christmas decor and board games that are filler. The MacKenzie-Childs-style, Fiestaware-style, Talavera and Delft pieces are decorative rather than serious quality goods. The tools are homeowner grade, the audio gear is a basic Audio-Technica turntable and computer speakers, and the Coach, Michael Kors and Gucci items are logo goods. The listing also leans on rustic, barnwood and farmhouse-style painted pieces. A half-off Sunday helps the value, but there is no deep collection here.

The house is a comfortable, established suburban home of roughly $481K in a Milwaukie neighborhood, with carpet and laminate floors, a granite kitchen with white cabinets, and white built-ins around a tiled fireplace. Contents match that level: mostly modern upholstered furniture such as Castellano chenille sofas and chairs, gray swivel chairs and a metal-and-glass coffee table. The real wood is limited to a serpentine-front oak dresser with a tall swing mirror and an oak commode chair. The most substantial collection is about 100 vintage wedding-cake-topper and bride/groom figurines across three shelves, with lady head vases, nun figurines and bisque toppers, which is real depth though a niche subject. Other material includes Black Americana (shakers, figures, tumblers, wall masks and price-guide books), Kewpie and nursery items, Fiesta-style and jadeite ware, German steins, Ron Lee clowns, Tonka trucks and vintage Westclox and Big Ben alarm clocks. Art Deco chrome airplane lamps with frosted glass fuselages have some design interest if the glass is intact, and the beveled mirrors and a few older small florals may be worth a look if the frames are decent. Wall art is mostly offset prints (Scott Gustafson, Jenny Foster) with no original work, the leaded dragonfly lamp is Tiffany-style, the bedroom pieces are wicker, and the listing is hype-heavy while the photos show common collectibles rather than rare finds. There are no tools, hi-fi, cookware or books of note, and the house is full but orderly, with everything visible and tagged with dots.

The house is a builder-grade 1990s suburban home with beige carpet, popcorn ceilings and oak-veneer cabinets, with no period detail. The standout is the woodturning: dozens of hand-turned burl and live-edge bowls, hollow forms, platters and clocks, about 30 turned bottle stoppers, and a drawer of turned pens, all displayed in an oak wall unit and a den. It looks like genuine studio craft, though no lathe or turning tools were photographed. The den also holds a matching 1980s Sansui rack (FR-D45 turntable, T-7 tuner, A-7 amplifier, D-151M cassette deck) beside two large floor speakers whose brand could not be read. Other better pieces include a Chippendale-style mahogany kneehole desk, a gilt-framed oil landscape, a cast-iron and marble bistro table, a fold-out bar cabinet, a lot of cut crystal, Zwilling knives, a few Pendleton wool shirts and a Singer Slant-O-Matic 500. Beyond those, expect mass-market goods: Department 56-style lit houses, nutcrackers, Hummel-type figures, Precious Moments, collector plates, Tupperware, Pyrex and Corelle, and a garage shelved with CRT TVs, VCRs, Walkmans and tapes. Furniture is mostly oak veneer or laminate, the books are Reader's Digest sets, cookbooks and paperbacks, and the vinyl is easy-listening, religious and Disney. The several hundred thimbles are mostly souvenir or bone-china, with only a few silver, and the rubber-stamp and sewing gear is ordinary hobby-store grade. There is a lot to sort through, but everything is shelved and visible.

Full assessment
The house is a lived-in 1970s–90s ranch or manufactured-style home with carpet, textured walls, a popcorn ceiling and vinyl kitchen flooring, and the contents are mostly mid-grade. The headline is several hundred pieces of brass, copper and silverplate on floor-to-ceiling shelving in a back workshop, including candlesticks, kettles, teapots, samovar-style urns and bins of loose flatware with Rogers 'Reflection' marks, and a hand-painted 'Geneva's Antiques & Things' sign shows it was a part-time dealer's stock. Most of it looks like plate and decorative brass, not sterling or heavy cookware, so the pitch of thousands of pieces is mostly volume. The better small items are a hammered copper box with Arts-and-Crafts tulip motifs, a hand-hammered copper ewer, cast-iron sad irons and kettle, and a signed lithograph and an Erté print mentioned in the listing, whose authenticity is unclear and could be reproductions. A few furniture pieces stand out: an oak roll-top desk-style chest, an oak dresser with a wavy mirror and white porcelain knobs, and a flame-mahogany two-drawer chest with brass bail pulls. Beyond that the sale is plush toys, dolls, cobalt glass, concrete and resin garden decor, craft and bead supplies, and budget tools (Ryobi 18V, a Stack-On chest, with a Makita drill kit the best of them), and the shed is mostly paint and aerosol cans. No hi-fi, books or serious art turned up, and the 'unusual and curious collectibles' wording in the listing oversells what the photos show.

This is a commercial marine and welding shop plus sheds, a barn and a box trailer in West Linn, not a household sale, with concrete floors, painted plywood walls and aluminum diamond-plate carts and shelves. The marine and fabrication work is fairly deep: Mercury 9.9 ProKicker and larger outboards on custom stands, welders and plasma gear, a sandblast cabinet, a roughly 20-lb anvil on a wheel-hub stand, cast and Olympia bench vises, and many labeled bins of fittings, hose and fuel parts. The best-looking pieces are a Delta table saw with a Biesemeyer-style fence and some older pipe wrenches, axes and bars with wood handles and real age. Most of the tools, though, are Ryobi, Husky, Harbor Freight/Central Pneumatic and Pittsburgh, and the rest is farm and garage filler such as gas cans, tires, fence supplies, appliances and surf gear. There is also a low oak 12-drawer cabinet on casters that looks like flat-file storage, but it appears to be modern veneer over particleboard, and the drawer interiors were not visible. A box of Beanie Babies and McDonald's Teenie Beanies, 1990s sports cards and Wheaties boxes add nostalgia filler, while there is no furniture, art, rugs or hi-fi to speak of. The auction is run in bulk lots, so you win a whole lot and cannot cherry-pick single items, which makes the few better pieces harder to justify chasing.

The sale is held in a strip-mall storefront on a commercial corridor, with drop-ceiling tiles, fluorescent lighting and gray commercial carpet, so the space says nothing about any household. The goods look like rolling inventory from many sources, and the shop advertises new stock coming in daily. The better furniture includes an oak slant-front desk, an oak and walnut barrister bookcase, a grandfather clock, a 1940s waterfall-veneer dresser, a carved Chinese-style drop-front bureau and a vintage Zenith radio console. Other standouts are a Gouda-style Dutch art-pottery vase, Pyrex and pink depression glass, a large used-book room with hardcovers, and a framed-art room with some oil paintings in gilt frames. A corner of genuine professional support gear, with chrome C-stands, a Kenlock-head tripod and a few other tripods in carry bags, is real but shallow, with no lights or flashes seen. Overall quality runs mixed to low-mid: there are leather recliner sofas, veneer and laminate pieces, knockoff items and yellow-velvet dining chairs. Heavy filler includes clothing racks, carded 90s action figures, Christmas collectibles, posters and costume jewelry. The hi-fi is mid-range at best, with a turntable, receivers, small bookshelf and computer speakers and cheap PA amps. Rooms are packed tightly, though items stay individually visible.

The house is a comfortable, established 1970s Pacific Northwest contemporary on a wooded lot, listed around $1.03M, with red cedar siding, vaulted ceilings, a full brick fireplace wall, picture windows onto the garden, oak floors in the main rooms and stone-slab entry paving. It looks architecturally interesting, but only the main living areas were photographed in detail, and the other rooms are builder-grade, with popcorn ceilings, beige carpet in the den and a laminate-and-veneer kitchen. The strongest goods are about a dozen hand-knotted Persian, Afghan and Baluch wool rugs (Bokhara-style, Baluch prayer rugs, Hamadan-type and Oushak-style), tagged with blue tape. Next comes a deep antique bottle and jar collection of well over 100 tagged pieces on custom wall shelves, including canning jars, milk bottles, insulators and demijohns, many with applied lips and in a range of colors. A nautical and sea-life collection adds a mounted marlin or wahoo, giant clam and conch shells (not sold individually), flags, buoys and anchors. Other pieces include antique printer's-type cabinets, a mahogany-style bow-front sideboard, a carved camphor chest, vintage hi-fi (a Technics-labeled cabinet, a wood-cased receiver, a reel-to-reel and records) and a long National Geographic run, though the hi-fi brands are not legible in the photos. Expect caution elsewhere: the kitchen is ordinary stainless, Corningware and enamel, the books are mostly paperbacks and trade hardcovers, and the workshop tools (a radial arm saw, bandsaw and drill press among them) are mixed, plastic-bin grade. The garage and carport hold engine blocks, mowers, generators, a USMC-marked trailer and automotive fluids, with no antiques or fine pieces beyond one possibly solid-wood mid-century desk. The listing is broad and generic and the sale is full, though aisles stay open and goods are visible.

The house is a plain, builder-grade ranch with popcorn ceilings, stained tan carpet, oak-veneer cabinets and laminate counters, and nothing of period or architectural interest. Furniture is ordinary, including an oak-finish dining set, microfiber and suede patio sofas and a veneer water-bed wall unit, and there are no quality books, art, rugs, silver or hi-fi (the Sony speakers are mid-fi). The draw is the garage: a South Bend-type engine lathe of roughly 12-14 inches, a Bridgeport-style vertical mill, a Miller TIG welder and a Millermatic MIG, a Victor shape-cutting torch table, a sandblast cabinet, a bandsaw, a drill press and a hydraulic press. The hand-tool inventory is deep too, with a Snap-on box, a stainless Steelman roll-around chest, Craftsman chests, tap and die sets, Makita, Milwaukee and DeWalt power tools, and dozens of wrenches and pliers. Among the collectibles, the photographed highlights are a restored 1951 Schwinn Black Phantom with its key bag, a Bally 5-cent slot machine, Gilmore, Mobil, Texaco and Chevron globes and signs, 1960s Monogram and Lindberg boxed kits, tether race cars with real model engines, and a sizable fleet of 10-12 large RC aircraft with Spektrum transmitters. Be cautious: several signs and the Wayne-style Chevron pump look like reproductions or restorations rather than original porcelain, and much of the rest is novelty branding such as graphic T-shirts, trophies, calendars and die-cast cars. The listing text is empty, the company's track record is mostly weak, and with 177 photos of full tables and benches it will be a long, dense visit, though items are laid out visibly rather than piled.

The house is a long-lived, builder-grade 1970s home on a wooded lot in the Interlaaken area of Lakewood, WA, listed around $676,900, and the sale fills it thoroughly, with blue-tagged items on nearly every surface. The most distinctive finds are two brass and copper ship's lanterns with a binnacle compass and brass clock, a large stash of vintage quilts including hexagon and Grandmother's Flower Garden patterns, vintage Minolta SRT-style SLRs with lenses, and older planes, saws, files and taps and dies on pegboards. Other pleasant but unremarkable items include Lenox stemware, copper and silverplate, a KitchenAid mixer, green depression glass, Longaberger baskets, a maple and pine case pieces, and a tray of gold-tone jewelry, some of which looked like 10k or 14k, so check the marks before paying for it. Beyond that, the stock is mostly mid-grade: 1970s colonial-style stained furniture, bulk Christmas, Halloween and Easter decor, paperback and book-club books, 1980s-90s consumer stereos, and Craftsman, Sears, Worx and Central Pneumatic tools. The mass-produced oil-style reproduction paintings in ornate frames and the Lladro/Nao-style porcelain figurines priced $70 to $450 are further reasons for caution, as the figurine prices look ambitious. The sewing room and doll collection are sizable but show no real depth. This is a private listing with a below-average track record, and the Sunday discounts of 50% off from 12 to 2 and 75% off from 2 to 4 are the best reason to go.

The house is a modest, lived-in suburban home in a Marysville subdivision, listed around $439,100, with builder-grade finishes: popcorn ceilings, laminate floors, knotty alder cabinets and a faux-brick fireplace. The contents are centered on giftware, including many hand-painted Fenton Burmese and cobalt glass pieces (some signed by the painters), Jim Shore Heartwood Creek figures in quantity, Department 56 Snowbabies, Belleek, Lenox, Bradex collector plates and English bone china cups and saucers from Aynsley, Paragon and Adderley. The Belleek and bone china look genuine and the collection is neatly organized, but it is a themed collectibles sale of moderate depth. The jewelry is the best material: about a dozen sterling stone rings, a Byzantine chain bracelet, a hinged repousse cuff, a squash-blossom-style turquoise necklace and Southwest turquoise inlay pendants and earrings. A tray of small loose cut gemstones in individual cases is also photographed, though no lapidary or jewelry-making tools appear. Most of the rest is ordinary: big-box cookware and small appliances, a leather power recliner, a spindle-back chair, two small oak end tables, decorative prints, amateur paintings, Reader's Digest books and cookbooks, and mass-market clothing. The garage and yard goods (Greenworks mower, Weber kettle grill, pressure washer, plastic tool caddies) are likewise everyday items. The rooms are full, as in a typical full-house sale, but not hoarded.

The house is a builder-grade 1980s-90s suburban home with beige carpet, popcorn ceilings and wallpaper borders, though it has red-oak built-ins and a brick fireplace; the contents are better than the architecture. The photographed camera collection is the deepest area: a Leica body marked Ernst Leitz Wetzlar in a leather case, an Elmar 9cm lens, Leitz viewfinders and a meter, a Kowa Super 66 kit, a Mamiya Press, Minolta XK, X-700 and SRT 101 bodies, and a boxed Canon 6D and Rebel T2i (EF/EF-S mount). A full darkroom goes with it: a 4x5 view camera on a Regitar tripod, a Beseler enlarger, a color analyzer, timers, Paterson tanks and Kodachrome and paper stock. The garage holds a complete Shopsmith Mark V with many accessories still boxed, plus Delta, DeWalt and Makita tools, routers and clamps. Other good pieces include a pair of DCM TimeFrame oak-trimmed towers with a center channel (respectable mid-to-upper consumer hi-fi, not boutique), blue Le Creuset enameled cast iron, a Pyrex Flameware teapot, an antique hand-knotted Afghan Turkmen rug of about 6'8" x 9'8", and a pair of bentwood oak lounge chairs. The art includes a signed Ray Bethers woodcut, signed etchings, a numbered Zena Kavin lithograph, Harry Rucks serigraphs, a Ginsberg-signed broadside and a deep run of Robert Joseph Ficarra originals, along with Belleek, Wedgwood jasper, Murano glass and a uranium glass group. The twin pair of frosted pink lily-bell glass table lamps with cast lily-pad bases is genuine glass and cast metal, but it is a late-20th-century reproduction, not Art Nouveau. Much of the rest is filler: Hummel-type figures, Lladro, collector plates, Native-themed decor, mall prints, mainstream CDs, VHS, cassettes, caps and band shirts, budget-brand garage tools and watches that look like replicas. The sale runs to 653 photos and is full, though sorted into zones, and the listing's hype ("wickedly rare") overstates it.

The house is a custom-built home, probably from the 1990s-2000s, listed around $971k, with wide-plank floors, a slate entry, maple cabinetry, granite counters and a stone fountain niche; it is well kept and the goods are grouped and photographed individually at normal density. The best pieces are older American furniture: an Art Deco Mount Airy burl-veneer dresser with oval mirror, tall chest and matching cabinet nightstand, a Drexel bow-front dresser with a small matching bedside table, a flame-mahogany Duncan Phyfe-style dresser, mirror and nightstand, a Lane waterfall cedar chest with its original label, and a mahogany slant-front secretary with ball-and-claw feet. Also notable are Roseville pottery in Magnolia, Clematis and Freesia, a signed Kosta Boda crystal bowl, a Lenox bowl, a 9x12 handwoven Chinese wool rug, Pendleton blankets, signed Carol Grigg prints and an oil-on-canvas Dutch landscape in a gilt frame. The crafts depth is real, with a Husqvarna Viking Quilt Designer machine, sorted fabric and bead drawers, a Glastar grinder and a Dremel Moto-Flex, and the garage holds ordinary homeowner tools including Stanley Bailey planes. Caution is warranted on the three-light lily-pad table lamp: it is a well-made Tiffany-style revival (the sale's own caption says 'Tiffany Style Pond Lilly'), not an antique, so price should reflect that. The dark espresso king-bed set is modern retail, and the Southwestern silver and turquoise jewelry could not be authenticated from photos, with the Tiffany item only a key ring. Much of the bulk is Christmas and Hallmark ornaments, baskets, whimsical decor and a mid-range stereo with no tower speakers, and there are no restrooms on site and a long drive to Sisters.

The house is a plain, lived-in small-town home with an outbuilding and sheds, finished throughout with light laminate or vinyl plank flooring, textured walls, hollow-looking doors and laminate counters, with no plaster, hardwood or period detail. The standout is the small bottle-wall outbuilding: hundreds of colored glass bottle bottoms set in mortar like stained glass, in deliberate patterns with a diamond or star motif, blue bands and red and green accents that glow in daylight. Beyond that, the better items are a stained wood stereo or media cabinet with glass-and-grille doors, a Ludwig drum kit with Sabian and Zildjian cymbals priced at $250, several hundred rock, alternative and pop CDs in a tote, a milk crate and on tables, a box of vinyl LPs, and a workshop shed with a workbench, pegboard, hand and power tools, solder, pliers and fasteners in trays. Caution is warranted on the rest: the furniture is laminate and particle-board (Billy-style bookcases, a veneer desk with hutch, a gray fabric sofa), books are mostly paperbacks and textbooks, the art is amateur, and the cookware, mass-market board games and large scrapbooking supply stock are all consumer-grade. The sheds and craft room are heavily piled with boxes and tubs, so many items can't be seen individually, though it is not floor-to-ceiling clutter. Overall it is a sale to visit for the outbuilding and perhaps some music, media and tools, with modest expectations for everything else.

The house is a semi-rural home of roughly 1990s-2000s construction with honey-oak trim, oak kitchen cabinets and a mix of carpet, tile and oak flooring, furnished in a Southwest, lodge and New Age style. The strongest items are a Stressless (Ekornnes) leather recliner with ottoman, a genuine Landers, Frary & Clark cast-iron coffee grinder, a vintage cedar chest with its guarantee certificate in the lid, and a Kodak Brownie 300 8mm projector in its box. The garage and carport hold the best outdoor gear: a blue and a red touring sea kayak on a trailer, two Perception Swifty recreational kayaks, and a Bacchetta recumbent bike. There is also a group of signed contemporary paintings by G. Sweet, dated 2020-23, which are original but modest, so they are only attractive if priced low. Beyond these, most of the sale is mass-market: framed prints (Maxfield Parrish, Josephine Wall) and canvas wraps, resin bear, moose and fairy lamps and figurines, twig furniture, a laminate desk, mid-grade stainless and nonstick cookware, and New Age paperbacks. A large share is consumables such as candles, cleaning supplies and bath products, and the tools are modest. The records are mainstream and the turntable is a Crosley combo, and the weight bench came with no barbells or plates. Surfaces are crowded, but items are individually visible.

The house is a well-kept, mid-2000s suburban build with red-oak floors, oak shaker cabinets, quartz counters, textured drywall and a stone corner fireplace. Nothing in it is period or architectural. The better pieces include a mahogany lyre-base oval pedestal table with brass cap feet, a mid-century walnut six-drawer chest with inlay lines, and an antique quarter-sawn oak slant-front desk. Also photographed were a Japanese ink scroll painting, a Tibetan thangka, a Pendleton wool plaid blanket with leather strap, a Joseph Poppie astrakhan coat with mink collar, and a large Noritake "Phoebe" china set with gold handles, platters, covered dishes and a gravy boat, plus cut-crystal decanters. Caution is warranted because most of the contents are modern: faux plants, lanterns, faux-leather trunks, Instant Pot and Krups appliances, and Linens-n-Things glassware. Much of the other furniture is lightweight or factory-made, including a particle-board-style nightstand, stained-pine and distressed-finish chests, and a painted hutch. The books are mostly Harry Potter and children's paperbacks with a few old set volumes, and there are no tools of depth, hi-fi or serious collections. The garage holds folding tables of box lots (fans, heaters, yard tools, camping and kayak gear), so expect a lot of sorting for a handful of good finds.

The house is a 1990s builder-grade home with oak-veneer doors, textured walls, vertical blinds, and laminate and carpet floors. It sits on rural acreage with a large metal shop. The shop is the draw: a Case 450 crawler loader, a Miller Big 20 welding-generator trailer, a Gold Wing GL1000 with Eliminator II fairing, a 1960s Chevy stepside project truck, a 1930s coupe body on a chassis, a red Waterloo-style roll-around tool chest, an oxy-acetylene torch cart, an engine hoist, two compressors, a drill press and two bench vises. The shop is crowded and dusty but organized by item. Inside, the best furniture is a yew and burl-veneer dining suite (oval table with inlay banding, rail-back chairs, sideboard and glass-door hutch), a carved Spanish-style bookcase cabinet, and an Art Deco waterfall cedar chest. A wide oak chest of shallow drawers with recessed pulls may be a flat-file cabinet, but the photos show no drawer interiors or maker's mark, so it could just as easily be a media or bedroom chest. The dining suite is veneer, a mid-grade period piece rather than solid wood. Audio is modest vintage: a Sony three-motor reel-to-reel, a Pioneer stereo stack and a CD tower with a few hundred discs. Much of the rest is Harley-Davidson apparel, helmets, furs, tin toys, magazines and handbags in the style of Louis Vuitton and Hermes, whose authenticity is doubtful. The house is full but not hoarded, with folding tables of clothing and knickknacks.

The house is a modest, newer builder-grade ranch with laminate and carpet floors, light-maple kitchen cabinets and no period details, and the garage and driveway are full of yard gear. The strongest category is designer handbags and shoes: a Coach signature jacquard satchel, a clutch and boxed red Coach clogs, two Dooney & Bourke leather hobos with dust bags, two Michael Kors black leather bags, and several pieces with tags still on. Western and wildlife decor includes signed and numbered offset lithographs (Maija 818/950, Steve Devenyns 26/750, Nancy Glazier, Bev Doolittle) and a 1991 W.E. Ten Eyck pencil drawing, which are genuine but mid-tier. Other better pieces are a German-style oak wall clock with beveled glass and pendulum, a Klaussner chest of drawers in solid wood and veneer, a silverplate tea and coffee set, a Bose Wave Music System, and a John Deere lawn tractor and Generac 5000-watt generator. Be cautious about the Remington-labeled bronzes on marble bases, which look like modern reproduction castings with little value, and about roughly 20 Hummel figurines and Murano-style and Fenton-style glass, which are mass-market collectibles. Furniture is mostly oak veneer, floral damask and glass-top pieces, the kitchen is as-seen-on-TV cookware and small appliances, and the books are modern. Tables are tagged and orderly, though the listing mentions hand tools, a drill press and vinyl albums that were not photographed.

The house is a modest, builder-grade manufactured home with wood paneling, popcorn-style ceilings, hollow-core doors and wall-to-wall carpet, so it offers no architectural interest and the better goods come from long-term collecting. The standout area is a dedicated sewing room with shelves and bins of sorted fabric, a Brother Innov-is Dreamweaver embroidery machine, an Elnapress steam press, quilting batting, finished quilts, and a weaving stash of cone yarn priced at $5 each. The real period furniture includes a c. 1900 quartersawn oak serpentine dresser with carved door panels, a matching carved oak headboard, a Singer treadle machine in an oak cabinet, a 19th-century washstand at $200, and a Hoosier-style cabinet. Large pegboards hold bagged, priced vintage and sterling jewelry, with some Victorian and Edwardian pieces according to the listing, along with trays of loose beads and findings but no jewelry-making tools. Also on offer are a Gemeinhardt silver flute in its case, a mahogany workbench with vise and hand tools, a KitchenAid mixer, an older Cuisinart processor and a Murano-style cased-glass lamp. Much of the volume is mid-range decor such as crystal, pressed glass, perfume bottles, tins, wicker baskets and trinket boxes, audio is limited to a Bose Wave radio and a small Sharp mini-system, and the sale company's track record runs slightly below average. Nearly everything is tagged and the rooms are packed but orderly.

The sale appears to be held in a community hall or church basement, with folding tables and overflow in a garage and truck bed, so nothing about the house interior can be judged; the home value in Kelso, Washington is around $84,600, in a modest older-housing market, and the contents fit that, running to hobby goods and vintage kitsch rather than fine furniture or art. The strongest depth is fishing and fly tying: a floor rack with 30-plus rods, a table of 50-plus spinning and baitcasting reels, drawer towers of feathers, chenille and hooks, and a fly-tying vise with thread, though the tackle looks mostly modern mid-range rather than high-end. The View-Master and 3D viewer holdings include several black Bakelite viewers, a GAF Talking View-Master, boxed light attachments from Sawyer's of Portland, Oregon, and Pana-Vue viewers and reels, while the HO trains include many boxed Athearn and Roundhouse kits and cars. Genuine period pieces are an antique brass National cash register with marble shelf and oak base and a Western Electric oak-cased treadle-style sewing machine with gold decals, along with an art glass vase and bowl, a coiled Native-style basket and a Hilti tool case. Much of the rest is kitsch and collectibles: Hummel-type figurines, WWE and King Kong figures, 1990s comics, beer signs and clocks, and Nylint trucks. No furniture, rugs, books, art or hi-fi appeared in the photos, and the set shows only about 26 distinct views. Tables are full but sorted, with items visible, and the company's track record runs slightly below average.

The house is a builder-grade 1990s tract home with beige carpet, laminate plank floors, oak-stained trim and granite-look counters, and it has no built-ins, plaster or period detail. The contents match: mass-market furniture such as a farmhouse table, a pine Colonial-style bedroom set and faux-leather stools, plus a large volume of boxed budget cookware (Parini, Emeril, Thane, Jack LaLanne) and mass-market seasonal decor. The best part is the vintage outdoor and winter gear: roughly 15 bamboo ski poles with leather straps and woven baskets, several pairs of wooden skis, three or four pairs of ash-and-rawhide snowshoes, wooden water skis, and a row of five or six wicker-and-leather fishing creels. The creels look like mid-century commercial pieces rather than antiques. Smaller points of interest are six solid-wood mid-century-style dining chairs with tapered legs, a mahogany blanket chest, an oak serpentine dresser, a hand-painted crosscut saw, and a boxed Lodge skillet set. The vintage hi-fi (Jensen and Infinity towers, a Yamaha/Pioneer/Panasonic stack) is mid-tier consumer gear rather than high-end, and the toys and sports memorabilia (boxed Erector, Tyco and slot-car sets, bobbleheads) are mostly mass-market 1960s-90s items. Books are paperbacks and textbooks, with no art of note. The house is full but not hoarded, and the company running it has a below-average track record, so go only if bamboo and wood outdoor gear appeals.

The house is an ordinary mid-range suburban home with an attached garage, builder-grade to mid-range finishes (laminate wood-look floors, popcorn ceilings, granite-tile kitchen counters, maple shaker cabinets), and the contents match: average, lived-in household goods. The best furniture is a maple/cherry-toned Early American hutch, a carved-back dining set with an extension table, a cedar chest, a small oak-look desk, two oak/maple dressers and a Stressless-style leather recliner with ottoman, all of which look like older solid wood in the photos. Also worth a look are mid-century hand-painted dinnerware (a pink passion-flower pattern), a Noritake-style gray-rose set and a crate of vinyl LPs including the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, Elton John and Rolling Stones-type records. The small goods are mostly collectibles: Disney and Mickey toys and plush, diecast cars, Tyco/HO trains, lunchboxes, Department 56-style lit villages, Breyer-type horses, Russian nesting dolls, mallard decoys and an Oregon Ducks theme. Most other furniture is mass-market, including a fabric sofa, rattan loveseat, particle-board shelves and plastic bins, and the electronics are dated (Samsung flat TV, Sony boombox, VCR, DVDs). The garage is mostly chemicals, paint cans and lawn tools with nothing in the way of serious tools, and there is no hi-fi gear or notable art. On the practical side, the ordinary amount of clutter makes it easy to shop.

The sale is in a small, older bungalow in Silverton, Oregon, likely from the 1920s, with textured plaster walls, painted wood trim, painted kitchen cabinets with old-style pulls and dated green damask wall-to-wall carpet. The house is pleasant but has no standout architecture, and the contents are mostly ordinary household goods. The best pieces are antique: an arched oak mirrored wardrobe with carved panels, a curvy Art Deco waterfall-style mahogany display cabinet, an oval oak mirror and a kidney-shaped wood desk. Hull pottery (including a water lily cornucopia vase), Fiestaware, Pyrex, green Depression glass, blue Delft and Willow transferware are genuine vintage, though they lean nostalgic rather than rare. Shelves of vinyl LPs and a large box of 45s are worth a quick dig, but the CDs number a few hundred at most, and the art supplies, large oil paintings and art-history and drawing books are at a hobbyist scale. Caution is warranted because most of the furniture is painted-white chalk-style pieces, a 1990s oak veneer hutch, a pine sleigh bed and a floral chaise. The listing itself advertises knickknacks and collectibles, and the photos show fairy collector plates, a Little Red Riding Hood teapot, Shiny Brite ornaments, dolls, toys and a lot of Halloween and Christmas decor. There is no sterling (only silverplate), no tools and no named high-end hi-fi, though the clutter level is normal and the sale is easy to shop.

The house is a small, older home with textured plaster walls and arched doorways, and the contents are mid-market and decorative rather than fine furnishings. The best part is the vinyl: several boxes of roughly 60-100 LPs each, with early Bob Dylan (Freewheelin' in stereo, the mono debut, Blonde on Blonde), a Them Parrot mono, Blind Faith, Tim Buckley, Donovan's Sunshine Superman, The Band, Jethro Tull's Benefit and Bee Gees Odessa in the red velvet cover. Beyond records, there are some better ceramics (Wedgwood blue jasperware, marked Noritake, a chintz biscuit barrel), an antique bird's-eye maple or birch-veneer serpentine chest with brass bail pulls, a walnut regulator wall clock, and two black mantel clocks, one possibly Sessions. The colored glass is deep, covering Fenton hobnail, ruby, cranberry, uranium and vaseline pieces (photographed under blacklight) and pink depression glass, but it is collectible-grade rather than rare. The large Coca-Cola collection is mostly licensed 1990s-2000s items, many still boxed, and the souvenir spoons are mostly plated tourist pieces. Be cautious about the furniture, since a green damask bench looks like a reproduction and the shelving is cheap laminate, and the art is mass-produced prints. The photos are dim and flash-lit with some dust, and the record sleeves show ring wear and edge damage, so vinyl condition is unknown. There are no tools, hi-fi gear, cookware or notable books to speak of.

The house is a modest older bungalow, roughly 1920s-50s, with popcorn ceilings, laminate counters, painted cabinets, brightly painted walls and a brick-look fireplace; it has some period touches such as dark stained trim, tongue-and-groove paneling and a built-in oak-front linen cupboard. The contents are mostly decor: well over 100 glazed ceramic figural teapots, probably 1980s-2000s Fitz and Floyd-style novelty pieces with no readable maker marks, plus heavy Christmas and seasonal displays and Elvis, Felix the Cat and Pepsi memorabilia. The best individual pieces are a Hamilton-style burl-front mantel clock with a brass dial, a mahogany lyre-base drop-leaf side table with lion-head pulls, a gilt-framed oil landscape, a red enameled cast-iron Dutch oven and skillet (brand not legible, so check for a Le Creuset mark), and a Wagner-type aluminum roaster. The workshop is a decent but ordinary hobbyist setup: a pegboard of Proto and Crescent wrenches, handsaws, a bench vise, a Stanley-style bench plane, and consumer-grade Craftsman, Ryobi and Black & Decker power tools including a table saw, jointer/planer and band saw. Furniture is largely veneer, laminate and particle board, kitchenware is mostly Corelle-type dishes and nonstick pans, and there is no notable hi-fi, art, rugs, books or silver; records are a stack of 1960s pop LPs and about 100 CDs. On the practical side, the house is full but orderly and everything is priced, with a sewing room and a single Marine Corps service uniform among the miscellany.

The house is a 1990s-2000s tract home in a Salem subdivision backing onto a golf course, with vinyl plank floors, textured walls, builder-grade cabinets and no period details. Contents match it: mid-grade traditional furniture, including a tufted burgundy leather Chesterfield-style sofa and pressboard or veneer curios and bookcases, plus big-box household goods. The few better items are a Persian-style room rug of about 8x10 that looks like hand-knotted or hand-tufted wool, an antique oak treadle sewing machine cabinet from roughly 1900-1920, an antique dome-top steamer trunk with painted paper panels, Royal Albert Old Country Roses sets and bone china teacups, and some local studio pottery bowls. A boxed Sega Genesis CDX with Sega CD games, Master System cartridges and a boxed Game Boy Advance is the most collectible group, and there is a boxed sterling Italy bracelet and some sterling-marked jewelry, though most of the jewelry looks like costume. Most of the sale is mass-market limited editions: dozens of boxed Harbour Lights lighthouses, about 40 bells, Steinbach nutcrackers, Anchor Bay ship models, Heritage Village pieces, Royal Doulton and Bossons character jugs, Thomas Kinkade canvases, prints and plates, and several decorator oils signed L. Smith in gilt frames. The listing's claims of a fully loaded workshop, enameled cast iron and copper cookware, and fine furniture are not borne out by the photos: the tools are Ridgid, Skil, Stanley and Irwin, the kitchen is ceramic-coated nonstick, Pyrex and Corelle, and the audio is just a soundbar. The garage is packed and hard to see into, tables are crowded, and the company's past sales have graded poorly, so expect breadth of collectibles rather than quality.

This is a well-kept, long-lived suburban house, likely a 1990s-2000s build, with tray and textured ceilings, tile and carpet, and every surface filled with decorative china, glass and collectibles. The standout is a multi-arm lily lamp with ruffled, trumpet-shaped art-glass shades on curving bronze-finished stalks; it is a late-20th-century Tiffany-inspired piece rather than leaded antique glass, and the base was not visible in the photos. Other good pieces include a quarter-sawn oak corner china cabinet with bowed glass, a pair of weighted three-light candelabra and a gadroon-rim creamer that look like sterling (no hallmarks were readable), Waterford-style cut crystal, a fitted silverplate flatware chest, gilt-framed oil paintings, a cylinder music box, dozens of antique German porcelain half-dolls, and a large Belleek parian shamrock collection. Jewelry tables are tagged around $14-$26 and include carved jade-type pendants, cinnabar bangles and many silver-tone bangles. Be cautious: roughly half the photos show mass-market Christmas figures (Jim Shore, nutcrackers, Lowell Davis-style bears), and there is a lot of boxed Lenox and similar collectibles. The rubber-stamp and Cricut-type craft stash is large but mass-market, and the kitchenware, tools, audio and furniture are everyday-grade apart from the oak cabinet. The sale runs 50% off on Saturday and Dollar Day on Sunday, and the company's track record is slightly above average.

The house is a modest, lived-in 1950s-70s ranch with builder-grade finishes: birch kitchen cabinets, vinyl tile, popcorn ceilings, wall-to-wall or shag carpet and oak strip floors in the bedrooms. The sale spreads through the rooms, the garage and a yard of pop-up tents, and is run by The Rusty Trunk LLC, which sells everything as-is with no returns. The standout is the CD collection, photographed as about a dozen labeled boxes and bins (an estimated 1,000-2,000 discs on one table alone) plus several towers and shelf units elsewhere, so the total looks like thousands across rock, folk, classical and soundtracks. Several hundred LPs and 45s are spread across multiple rooms, including crates of classic rock, soundtracks and cast albums, and some early US Beatles pressings (Vee-Jay Introducing the Beatles, Capitol Yesterday and Today). The hi-fi is mid-range 1980s-90s gear, including a Technics turntable, Marantz CD player, Teac cassette deck, Yamaha receiver, Sony components and wood-cabinet bookshelf speakers, with no standout speakers. Other items of note are an older, 1930s-looking acoustic guitar in a worn case beside a new-tag Fender acoustic, a large Mikasa Intaglio stoneware set, English bone china teacups, an impasto oil seascape in a stained pine frame and a KitchenAid Classic Plus stand mixer. Expect heavy collectible content (boxed Campbell's Kids and Hallmark ornaments, Department 56-style houses, Beanie Babies, McDonald's premiums, Barbie items, rooster decor), common maple and veneer colonial-style furniture, thin stainless cookware, paperback book stock and consumer-grade yard tools. Several areas are outdoors on damp grass, so goods are crowded and wet, and with 356 photos of mostly filler the sale takes real digging.

The house is a large, established suburban home with oak floors, crown molding, built-ins, granite counters and a pole-barn workshop, comfortable and custom-leaning rather than period or architectural. The standout is the collection depth: dozens of Hanson and other antique dial scales, a big accumulation of wooden spools and thread cones, and roughly 40 to 50 pump and thumb-press oil cans in pressed steel and brass, ranging from tiny to one very long-spouted example. Furniture includes a matched pair of two-drawer cherry nightstands with pull-out slides, plus a sleigh bed, dresser and chest. It looks like a quality suite, but the photos were too soft to say whether it is solid wood or veneer. Other real-wood pieces are an antique oak serpentine-front chest with a bookcase hutch top, an oak roll-top desk, a Chippendale-style secretary bookcase and a Hoosier cabinet. Dealer-grade antiques include an oak Victrola floor cabinet, tabletop phonographs, a brass microscope, a flax spinning wheel and a ship's wheel. The shop has a lathe, Ridgid table saw, dust collector and a handmade wooden drift boat, but the tools are mid-grade consumer and prosumer rather than premium vintage. Caution is warranted because much of the stock is primitive, rustic or decorative, including Department 56 boxes, ceramic chickens, ruby-flash glass, wicker baskets and mass-market Christmas items. Books are mostly modern paperbacks, and parking is tight, with none on Bell Road.

The house is a single-story mid-century home with honey-toned hardwood floors, a split-stone fireplace, a slate entry and a sunroom-style living room with large windows. Rooms are tidy and not crowded. The furniture is the draw: a quartersawn white oak Mission sofa, loveseat and armchair, a cherry media cabinet with hand-cut dovetail drawers, a cherry Mission sofa table and a Morris-type oak reclining chair. Antique oak adds a Globe-Wernicke-style four-stack lawyer's bookcase, a carved-crest china hutch, a drop-front secretary, a bow-front dresser with swing mirror, quartersawn oak chests with bronze pulls and an oval pedestal dining table with claw feet. Smaller highlights include a hand-knotted wool rug in sage, gold and rose, several raku and studio pottery vessels, an inlaid mahogany end table and a teak outdoor dining set. Be aware that access is invite-only, by emailed request for an hour slot, so a visit is not guaranteed. The rest is filler: porcelain and cloth dolls, wicker and glass tables, gray tufted sofas, a Bose Wave radio and a small stereo with box speakers. The Tiffany-style dragonfly lamp has a leaded mosaic shade and is not a rare piece. There are no tools, cookware or serious audio equipment, and only a few shelves of hardcover books.

The sale is in a well-kept Craftsman-style bungalow in an established inner northeast Portland neighborhood, with fir and oak floors, built-in glass-front cabinets beside a tiled fireplace, wainscoting and a turned-newel staircase. The best items are the gilt-framed landscape oils hung in the stairwell, dining room, hall and TV room; they look original in photos, but signatures and quality need checking in person. Other better pieces include a Lenox-style cream china service with platinum rims in large quantity, plenty of crystal stemware, Spode-style transferware, an oak slant-front secretary with a mirror crest, Eastlake carved walnut side chairs, a mahogany Queen Anne-style dining set and Persian/Heriz-style wool rugs in three rooms. The attic holds a large, well-organized quilting and fabric stash with a sewing machine in a cabinet, but it is consumer-grade fabric and supplies and adds little. Most of the rest is mid-range: an IKEA-style cherry-tone kitchen with KitchenAid and Cuisinart appliances, knotty pine bedroom furniture, casual and melamine dinnerware, decor-store canvas prints, and many mostly machine-made baskets, figurines and stuffed animals. The garage and basement offer ordinary lawn tools, a treadmill and a small pegboard workbench of mixed hand tools, and there is no serious audio gear beyond a small receiver and a modest shelf of CDs and VHS tapes.

The house is an established two-story suburban home in the Bethany area of northwest Portland, builder-grade to mid-range, with beige carpet, oak floors in places and a brick fireplace. The strongest goods are solid-wood pieces: Amish-made Borkholder highboy, writing desk, end tables and entry cabinet, Bob Timberlake bookcases and TV cabinet, a cherry breakfront china cabinet, a Windsor bench, and a Chippendale-style dining table with ribbonback chairs (about eight), plus crewel-style wingbacks. Two Ekornes Stressless leather recliner sets with ottomans are the named-brand seating. The art is modest but real: signed Carol Grigg prints, signed black-and-white landscape photographs, cyanotype flower prints and Northwest Coast formline pieces. Household names include Le Creuset Dutch ovens, a copper saucepan, a Miele B 990 rotary ironer, Wedgwood Wild Strawberry, Nicholas Mosse spongeware, a Herman Miller Aeron chair and a Pfaff Creative sewing machine with a hand-made quilt setup. A cut-crystal stemware lot is listed as Waterford Marquis. The cherry nightstands appear as single pieces in the photos rather than matched pairs. Caution is warranted because a lot of the sale is collectible or mass-market: Lladro-type figurines, Hummels, Margaret Furlong ornaments, a large signed Lefever Santa and shell-angel collection, reproduction made-in-China wind-up tin toys, Longaberger-type baskets and costume jewelry. The garage holds ordinary homeowner power tools (Ryobi, DeWalt, EGO, Skilsaw) rather than a serious workshop, and there is no notable library or audio gear. Some of the furniture is builder-grade or particle board, and the larger items carry price tags, so expect to sort through plenty of ordinary goods.

The house is an ordinary 1980s-90s two-story suburban home with honey-oak cabinets, laminate counters, beige wall-to-wall carpet and a brick gas fireplace; it is builder-grade and not architecturally notable, and the contents run better than the house. The best items are the antique wood pieces: an Eastlake-style walnut secretary/bookcase with a glazed upper cabinet, a carved Eastlake platform rocker in red cut velvet, marble-top walnut Eastlake dressers and commodes, and a 1930s waterfall-style vanity, tall chest and dresser. Tableware is the other strong group, with a large display of bone china teacups and saucers, cut and pressed crystal, green depression glass, silver-plate trays and serving pieces, and blue-and-white Blue Onion-style pieces. There is also an older harbor oil painting with a steamship and visible brushwork in a gilt-lined dark frame, and a Navajo-style flat-woven wool rug in grey, red and black, though the photos don't establish that it is authentic hand-woven work. The listing also mentions sterling, copper pots, Pendleton shirts and leather and shearling coats, which were not seen in the photos. Be cautious about the rest: much of it is everyday modern kitchenware (Keurig, Chefman and Aroma appliances, Corelle, Pyrex-style bakeware), a rack of about 30 handbags, mall-tier décor and large decorative gallery-wrap flower canvases, and a lot of unmarked $1 Christmas filler. The oak sideboard and five-drawer chest look like mid-grade later furniture of uncertain construction. The keyboard, treadmill, VHS tapes and $2 LPs are low-value, and listing phrases like 'HUGE ONE' and 'Brand Name Vintage' oversell what is there. Items are visible and priced despite crowding in the living room.

The house is a mid-2000s semi-custom build in Salmon Creek, Vancouver WA, with wide-plank hardwood floors, a stone fireplace, knotty-alder cabinets and a vaulted living room, so this is a traditional household sale rather than a period-home clearance. The strongest items are a full Minton "Bellemeade"-style bone china set (cream with blue florals and gold rim, with teapot, coffee pot, creamer, sugar, many plates, cups and cream-soup bowls) and a large set of cut-crystal stemware and brandy snifters priced around $4 each. Also notable are a red marble and bronze French mantel clock with a bronze bust and visible open escapement, a Quimper-style faience desk set with clock and inkwells, a red-painted Queen Anne-style high chest, a carved giltwood bergère in coral velvet, a mahogany valet stand, copper pieces including a coal scuttle, pail and hammered pot, and a brass bar cart. Much of the furniture reads as solid wood or good reproduction rather than clearly old, and the wall art is mostly decorative gilt-framed oils, charcoal portraits and mirrors that were not photographed in a way that suggests collectible work. Expect a lot of mainstream filler, including a wicker patio set, vinyl-tufted dining chairs, a mattress, an inversion table, luggage, Christmas decor and a tub of handbags, along with many porcelain figurines, Depression and cranberry glass. No tools, hi-fi equipment or notable books were seen in the photos, and everything is priced with dot stickers. The estate company has a slightly above-average track record, but overall this is a modest sale worth a trip mainly for the china and crystal.

The house is a modest, established mid-century brick ranch with oak floors, ordinary and lived-in, with no notable period or built-in details, and the sale spreads across the rooms, garage, basement and yard. The strongest area is the garage, with 50+ fly and other rods, Orvis and Wright & McGill rod tubes, dozens of fly boxes, about 40 jars of feathers and furs for fly tying, a vise, Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reels, vintage lures and angling books, plus roughly 25 axes and hatchets (Hudson Bay, camp and splitting types, a few with Gransfors-style handles). The best furniture is a large quarter-sawn oak Arts-and-Crafts library table with copper strap hardware and through-tenon legs, of Stickley-school quality or a good period copy; a quarter-sawn oak side-by-side secretary with a beveled mirror, a mahogany slant-front secretary with glazed doors, an oak Mission settle and a quartersawn oak desk/server round out the antiques. Smaller groups include 15 or more pieces of cast iron (Lodge, Crescent Foundry Ozark), a few vintage typewriters, a Kawai upright piano and some 1960s-70s Hot Wheels Redlines, though many of the cast-iron pieces are rusty and the Redlines are play-worn and unboxed. Most of what remains is mass-market: Star Trek, baseball and Garbage Pail Kids cards, comics, Knowles and Bradford plates, Jim Beam decanters, lady head vases, costume jewelry and Halloween and Christmas kitsch. The Tiffany-style lamps are reproductions, the dishes are mostly Liberty Blue, Corelle and Pyrex, the audio is small consumer gear, and the tools are mostly homeowner grade. The good pieces are scattered among many tables of ordinary goods, so expect to hunt for them.

The house is a long-lived-in, builder-grade to mid-grade home on a rural road at the edge of Hillsboro farmland, with wall-to-wall carpet, paneling, a stone fireplace and laminate kitchen counters; the listing also mentions a barn and a basement. The strongest items are a Dynaco FM tuner and a PAS-type preamp in walnut cases, plus a walnut KLH-style bookshelf speaker, which are small in number but real vintage hi-fi. The N-scale layout is deep and fully built, with multiple levels, bridges, tunnels, a bank of switch-machine controls, a Railpower 1300 throttle and Woodland Scenics supplies, though it is a fixed plywood layout that is hard to move unless it is broken down. Furniture includes veneer mid-century case pieces, an oak washstand with carved drawer fronts and brass pulls, a Howard Miller-style oak grandfather clock with a moon-phase dial, and Drexel furniture named in the listing. There is also a large, well-organized Christmas collection on pine shelving and a Fisher-Price Little People shelf with boxed Play Family sets. Caution is warranted because most of the contents are soft goods and kitsch: racks of vintage clothing, plush, linens, Avon bottles, carnival and ruby glass, and cookie jars, with no sign of silver, a book library or fine art. The listing leans heavily on nostalgia and collectibles, and the barn tools and outdoor gear are described only in general terms. Tables are crowded, but items are visible and priced.

The sale is spread across a large concrete-floored garage or shop, a back shed, an indoor pool room and the yard of a rural Estacada parcel, so the goods are mixed, utilitarian and accumulated rather than a curated interior. The standouts are a quartersawn tiger-oak slant-front desk with a Craftsman look, a round oak pedestal table with claw feet, an antique oak serpentine-front dresser and an oak icebox, plus a well-made German Erzgebirge-style wooden Christmas pyramid and a Pacific Stoneware Portland No. 2 crock. A bin of old hand tools appears to include a plane that may be worth a look. Beyond those pieces, the Christmas section is very large but mass-market: dozens of totes of light strings, silk poinsettias, and Santa and snowman figurines. The rest is filler, including pressed and cut glass, giftware figurines, Corelle-type dishes, decor-grade gilt mirrors, floral still lifes, hobby-store prints, Colonial-style buffet and hutch pieces, floral sofas, nostalgia items like Barbie-type dolls, VHS tapes and a Davy Crockett tin playset, and a Gucci-pattern duffel of unknown authenticity. The garage, shed and yard side is ordinary hardware, an inflatable boat, an irrigation controller, a compressor and garden chemicals, and there are no books, silver, hi-fi or notable art. Items are individually visible and tagged with green dots, though the crowding means a lot of digging for little payoff.

The property is a commercial parcel, a closed restaurant (Libbie's) with a shop and basement storage, so this is a business liquidation mixed with an accumulated stock of vintage goods and not a household sale. Rooms are a jazz-themed lounge with vinyl booths plus a garage-style shop with concrete floors and shelving, all tagged with orange stickers and crowded but visible. The deepest groups are about 20 or more vintage suitcase and children's record players (Lionel, Silvertone, Philco, Emerson, Decca and others) with roughly 10 Bakelite and tube radios, and a table of about 20 American mantel and tambour clocks including Sessions and New Haven examples, walnut and mahogany tambour cases and two Victorian rosewood shelf clocks. Other standouts are a Singer Featherweight 221, several KitchenAid stand mixers, a tray of US silver coins (Morgan and Peace dollars, Walking Liberty and Franklin halves, Barber coins and a small silver bar), and a case of pocket knives with Victorinox, Camillus and bone-handled examples. Furniture is minor but real wood, including a flame-mahogany veneer cabinet pair, an oak bow-front dresser and an oak ice-box style cabinet. Caution is warranted: beer-promo signs, pool-table lights and bar memorabilia dominate, tools are mostly consumer Ryobi, Craftsman and cordless gear, jewelry is costume or silver-tone priced $4 to $25, and framed art is mall-grade prints. There are no books, rugs, fine art or serious hi-fi, and the sale company's track record runs below average.

The house is a newer subdivision home with builder-grade finishes (plank flooring, quartz counters, textured walls, beige bedroom carpet) and no period features. It is neat, with small tags on items laid out on tables, and the clutter is a normal full-sale amount with aisles open. The better pieces are few: an antique quarter-sawn oak round parlor table with turned spindle legs and glass-ball-and-claw feet, a small oak machinist-style multi-drawer tool chest with dovetailed corners, and a signed oil-on-canvas still life of a Chianti bottle, fruit and grapes in a worn painted frame (signed Nita Scott). Useful but modest extras include a Vitamix 5200, a Zojirushi rice cooker, an Audio-Technica direct-drive turntable (the only mid-tier hi-fi item), Kosta Boda boxed glass ornaments at $20 and a Waterford ornament, and the listing mentions sterling jewelry that wasn't seen in the photos. Against that, the cookware is nonstick granite-coated, the furniture is mostly modern mass-market, and the large Christmas stock is largely Hallmark Keepsake and similar. The tools are homeowner grade (a Husky rolling chest, a Craftsman polisher, bins of hardware), the electronics are consumer computer speakers and RAM, and the craft room is hobby-store stock. Fiestaware-style and MacKenzie-Childs-style dishes, Brighton-style bags and a Gucci-marked bag that may be a replica are logo items rather than quality finds, and the red Bokhara-style rug would need its wool content checked in person.

The sale is in a 2000s-era tract-style house with wood-look laminate floors, textured walls, quartz-look counters and builder-grade carpet, and the contents match: contemporary, mass-market and tidy, with items priced on tables and in bins. The standout is a quarter-sawn oak parlor table with a scalloped top, bobbin-turned legs and ball-and-claw glass-foot feet. The home gym is a decent mid-range setup: two Olympic-style chrome barbells, a third standard-size bar, cast-iron Standard-brand plates in 10, 25 and 35 lb, plus cardio machines and a power tower. Only one plate was seen clearly and no loaded bar was photographed. Smaller items of some interest include a Vitamix 5200, a Zojirushi rice cooker, sterling and turquoise jewelry (discounted only 25%), a small oil painting of fruit and wine, and a red-ground Bokhara-style rug whose hand- or machine-made construction couldn't be told from the photos. Be cautious about the rest: non-stick cookware, a faux-leather pub dining set, microfiber and sectional seating, and a lot of Christmas decor and board games that are filler. The MacKenzie-Childs-style, Fiestaware-style, Talavera and Delft pieces are decorative rather than serious quality goods. The tools are homeowner grade, the audio gear is a basic Audio-Technica turntable and computer speakers, and the Coach, Michael Kors and Gucci items are logo goods. The listing also leans on rustic, barnwood and farmhouse-style painted pieces. A half-off Sunday helps the value, but there is no deep collection here.

The sale is held inside a spray-foam-insulated, metal-framed shop or barn with a bare concrete floor, on a rural-edge acreage with outbuildings in Hillsboro, so the photos show the leftovers of a working property rather than the house or its contents. The best pieces are a carved walnut Victorian-style sewing table with a mosaic parquetry top and fretwork pedestal base, a mahogany Hepplewhite-style console table with a bowed front and tapered spade feet, and a solid pine washstand-style cabinet with porcelain knobs; a Victorian carved rocking chair and a balloon-back parlor chair add a little more period interest. Shop items include a Craftsman radial arm saw on a steel stand with a particle-board table, a bench vise and a red tool chest, which are usable but mid-grade, and worth it only if priced cheaply. Small goods such as silver-plate teapots and creamers, copper and stainless cookware and a tall etched glass apothecary jar are mildly interesting, but the silver is plate rather than sterling. Most of the rest is filler: moving boxes, gas cans, monitors, portable AC units, Galaxy grow-light ballasts, an IBC tote, Southwestern-stripe armchairs, blonde particle-board display cabinets, $40 pole shelves, tin signs, craft collages and paperbacks. The mix reads as general mixed goods with no depth in any single area. The room looks full but not packed, with passable aisles, though the listing is private and the company's track record runs slightly below average.

The house is a comfortable, established suburban home of roughly $481K in a Milwaukie neighborhood, with carpet and laminate floors, a granite kitchen with white cabinets, and white built-ins around a tiled fireplace. Contents match that level: mostly modern upholstered furniture such as Castellano chenille sofas and chairs, gray swivel chairs and a metal-and-glass coffee table. The real wood is limited to a serpentine-front oak dresser with a tall swing mirror and an oak commode chair. The most substantial collection is about 100 vintage wedding-cake-topper and bride/groom figurines across three shelves, with lady head vases, nun figurines and bisque toppers, which is real depth though a niche subject. Other material includes Black Americana (shakers, figures, tumblers, wall masks and price-guide books), Kewpie and nursery items, Fiesta-style and jadeite ware, German steins, Ron Lee clowns, Tonka trucks and vintage Westclox and Big Ben alarm clocks. Art Deco chrome airplane lamps with frosted glass fuselages have some design interest if the glass is intact, and the beveled mirrors and a few older small florals may be worth a look if the frames are decent. Wall art is mostly offset prints (Scott Gustafson, Jenny Foster) with no original work, the leaded dragonfly lamp is Tiffany-style, the bedroom pieces are wicker, and the listing is hype-heavy while the photos show common collectibles rather than rare finds. There are no tools, hi-fi, cookware or books of note, and the house is full but orderly, with everything visible and tagged with dots.

The house is a builder-grade 1990s suburban home with beige carpet, popcorn ceilings and oak-veneer cabinets, with no period detail. The standout is the woodturning: dozens of hand-turned burl and live-edge bowls, hollow forms, platters and clocks, about 30 turned bottle stoppers, and a drawer of turned pens, all displayed in an oak wall unit and a den. It looks like genuine studio craft, though no lathe or turning tools were photographed. The den also holds a matching 1980s Sansui rack (FR-D45 turntable, T-7 tuner, A-7 amplifier, D-151M cassette deck) beside two large floor speakers whose brand could not be read. Other better pieces include a Chippendale-style mahogany kneehole desk, a gilt-framed oil landscape, a cast-iron and marble bistro table, a fold-out bar cabinet, a lot of cut crystal, Zwilling knives, a few Pendleton wool shirts and a Singer Slant-O-Matic 500. Beyond those, expect mass-market goods: Department 56-style lit houses, nutcrackers, Hummel-type figures, Precious Moments, collector plates, Tupperware, Pyrex and Corelle, and a garage shelved with CRT TVs, VCRs, Walkmans and tapes. Furniture is mostly oak veneer or laminate, the books are Reader's Digest sets, cookbooks and paperbacks, and the vinyl is easy-listening, religious and Disney. The several hundred thimbles are mostly souvenir or bone-china, with only a few silver, and the rubber-stamp and sewing gear is ordinary hobby-store grade. There is a lot to sort through, but everything is shelved and visible.

Full assessment
The house is a lived-in 1970s–90s ranch or manufactured-style home with carpet, textured walls, a popcorn ceiling and vinyl kitchen flooring, and the contents are mostly mid-grade. The headline is several hundred pieces of brass, copper and silverplate on floor-to-ceiling shelving in a back workshop, including candlesticks, kettles, teapots, samovar-style urns and bins of loose flatware with Rogers 'Reflection' marks, and a hand-painted 'Geneva's Antiques & Things' sign shows it was a part-time dealer's stock. Most of it looks like plate and decorative brass, not sterling or heavy cookware, so the pitch of thousands of pieces is mostly volume. The better small items are a hammered copper box with Arts-and-Crafts tulip motifs, a hand-hammered copper ewer, cast-iron sad irons and kettle, and a signed lithograph and an Erté print mentioned in the listing, whose authenticity is unclear and could be reproductions. A few furniture pieces stand out: an oak roll-top desk-style chest, an oak dresser with a wavy mirror and white porcelain knobs, and a flame-mahogany two-drawer chest with brass bail pulls. Beyond that the sale is plush toys, dolls, cobalt glass, concrete and resin garden decor, craft and bead supplies, and budget tools (Ryobi 18V, a Stack-On chest, with a Makita drill kit the best of them), and the shed is mostly paint and aerosol cans. No hi-fi, books or serious art turned up, and the 'unusual and curious collectibles' wording in the listing oversells what the photos show.

This is a commercial marine and welding shop plus sheds, a barn and a box trailer in West Linn, not a household sale, with concrete floors, painted plywood walls and aluminum diamond-plate carts and shelves. The marine and fabrication work is fairly deep: Mercury 9.9 ProKicker and larger outboards on custom stands, welders and plasma gear, a sandblast cabinet, a roughly 20-lb anvil on a wheel-hub stand, cast and Olympia bench vises, and many labeled bins of fittings, hose and fuel parts. The best-looking pieces are a Delta table saw with a Biesemeyer-style fence and some older pipe wrenches, axes and bars with wood handles and real age. Most of the tools, though, are Ryobi, Husky, Harbor Freight/Central Pneumatic and Pittsburgh, and the rest is farm and garage filler such as gas cans, tires, fence supplies, appliances and surf gear. There is also a low oak 12-drawer cabinet on casters that looks like flat-file storage, but it appears to be modern veneer over particleboard, and the drawer interiors were not visible. A box of Beanie Babies and McDonald's Teenie Beanies, 1990s sports cards and Wheaties boxes add nostalgia filler, while there is no furniture, art, rugs or hi-fi to speak of. The auction is run in bulk lots, so you win a whole lot and cannot cherry-pick single items, which makes the few better pieces harder to justify chasing.

The sale is held in a strip-mall storefront on a commercial corridor, with drop-ceiling tiles, fluorescent lighting and gray commercial carpet, so the space says nothing about any household. The goods look like rolling inventory from many sources, and the shop advertises new stock coming in daily. The better furniture includes an oak slant-front desk, an oak and walnut barrister bookcase, a grandfather clock, a 1940s waterfall-veneer dresser, a carved Chinese-style drop-front bureau and a vintage Zenith radio console. Other standouts are a Gouda-style Dutch art-pottery vase, Pyrex and pink depression glass, a large used-book room with hardcovers, and a framed-art room with some oil paintings in gilt frames. A corner of genuine professional support gear, with chrome C-stands, a Kenlock-head tripod and a few other tripods in carry bags, is real but shallow, with no lights or flashes seen. Overall quality runs mixed to low-mid: there are leather recliner sofas, veneer and laminate pieces, knockoff items and yellow-velvet dining chairs. Heavy filler includes clothing racks, carded 90s action figures, Christmas collectibles, posters and costume jewelry. The hi-fi is mid-range at best, with a turntable, receivers, small bookshelf and computer speakers and cheap PA amps. Rooms are packed tightly, though items stay individually visible.

The house is a comfortable, established 1970s Pacific Northwest contemporary on a wooded lot, listed around $1.03M, with red cedar siding, vaulted ceilings, a full brick fireplace wall, picture windows onto the garden, oak floors in the main rooms and stone-slab entry paving. It looks architecturally interesting, but only the main living areas were photographed in detail, and the other rooms are builder-grade, with popcorn ceilings, beige carpet in the den and a laminate-and-veneer kitchen. The strongest goods are about a dozen hand-knotted Persian, Afghan and Baluch wool rugs (Bokhara-style, Baluch prayer rugs, Hamadan-type and Oushak-style), tagged with blue tape. Next comes a deep antique bottle and jar collection of well over 100 tagged pieces on custom wall shelves, including canning jars, milk bottles, insulators and demijohns, many with applied lips and in a range of colors. A nautical and sea-life collection adds a mounted marlin or wahoo, giant clam and conch shells (not sold individually), flags, buoys and anchors. Other pieces include antique printer's-type cabinets, a mahogany-style bow-front sideboard, a carved camphor chest, vintage hi-fi (a Technics-labeled cabinet, a wood-cased receiver, a reel-to-reel and records) and a long National Geographic run, though the hi-fi brands are not legible in the photos. Expect caution elsewhere: the kitchen is ordinary stainless, Corningware and enamel, the books are mostly paperbacks and trade hardcovers, and the workshop tools (a radial arm saw, bandsaw and drill press among them) are mixed, plastic-bin grade. The garage and carport hold engine blocks, mowers, generators, a USMC-marked trailer and automotive fluids, with no antiques or fine pieces beyond one possibly solid-wood mid-century desk. The listing is broad and generic and the sale is full, though aisles stay open and goods are visible.

The house is a plain, builder-grade ranch with popcorn ceilings, stained tan carpet, oak-veneer cabinets and laminate counters, and nothing of period or architectural interest. Furniture is ordinary, including an oak-finish dining set, microfiber and suede patio sofas and a veneer water-bed wall unit, and there are no quality books, art, rugs, silver or hi-fi (the Sony speakers are mid-fi). The draw is the garage: a South Bend-type engine lathe of roughly 12-14 inches, a Bridgeport-style vertical mill, a Miller TIG welder and a Millermatic MIG, a Victor shape-cutting torch table, a sandblast cabinet, a bandsaw, a drill press and a hydraulic press. The hand-tool inventory is deep too, with a Snap-on box, a stainless Steelman roll-around chest, Craftsman chests, tap and die sets, Makita, Milwaukee and DeWalt power tools, and dozens of wrenches and pliers. Among the collectibles, the photographed highlights are a restored 1951 Schwinn Black Phantom with its key bag, a Bally 5-cent slot machine, Gilmore, Mobil, Texaco and Chevron globes and signs, 1960s Monogram and Lindberg boxed kits, tether race cars with real model engines, and a sizable fleet of 10-12 large RC aircraft with Spektrum transmitters. Be cautious: several signs and the Wayne-style Chevron pump look like reproductions or restorations rather than original porcelain, and much of the rest is novelty branding such as graphic T-shirts, trophies, calendars and die-cast cars. The listing text is empty, the company's track record is mostly weak, and with 177 photos of full tables and benches it will be a long, dense visit, though items are laid out visibly rather than piled.

The house is an established Pacific Northwest home with water views through tall window walls, oak hardwood floors, a slate tile entry, custom cherry kitchen cabinetry and timber beams. The strongest category is vintage Pendleton wool: at least four blankets and throws, including a Beaver State Robes and Shawls label, a Pendleton Woolen Mills Portland Oregon label, pure virgin wool plaid fringed throws and a striped serape-style blanket. Other good items are a signed Duane Morgan 'Amber Aspen' limited-edition photograph (AP-1, 16x20, with certificate) in a good frame, an orange enameled cast-iron Dutch oven, a Wüsthof-style knife block (the knives themselves are worth a look), and a closet of boxed designer shoes and bags that includes Dior slingbacks, Moncler, Paul Green loafers and Lucchese boots. Beyond those, the furniture is decorator and country in style rather than high-end: a red-painted armoire and sideboard, barnwood and painted-pine cabinets, ladderback chairs, and a worn leather club chair with ottoman and a cognac leather sofa. The kitchen is mostly Pyrex, nonstick bakeware, Vitamix and Breville, with nothing like the All-Clad or Le Creuset suggested in the listing apart from the one Dutch oven. The framed Provençal lavender and olive-grove prints are decorative offset reproductions, and the bookcase holds ordinary trade paperbacks and cookbooks. A sizable collection of Leo R. Smith III resin Christmas and Halloween figures, with numbered certificates and original boxes, is mass-market limited-edition giftware priced at $1 to $10 on plastic folding tables. There are also no tools (the Makita cases are empty) and no hi-fi, and the remaining small lots are ordinary clothing, shoes, a space heater and pressed glass.

The house is a long-lived, builder-grade 1970s home on a wooded lot in the Interlaaken area of Lakewood, WA, listed around $676,900, and the sale fills it thoroughly, with blue-tagged items on nearly every surface. The most distinctive finds are two brass and copper ship's lanterns with a binnacle compass and brass clock, a large stash of vintage quilts including hexagon and Grandmother's Flower Garden patterns, vintage Minolta SRT-style SLRs with lenses, and older planes, saws, files and taps and dies on pegboards. Other pleasant but unremarkable items include Lenox stemware, copper and silverplate, a KitchenAid mixer, green depression glass, Longaberger baskets, a maple and pine case pieces, and a tray of gold-tone jewelry, some of which looked like 10k or 14k, so check the marks before paying for it. Beyond that, the stock is mostly mid-grade: 1970s colonial-style stained furniture, bulk Christmas, Halloween and Easter decor, paperback and book-club books, 1980s-90s consumer stereos, and Craftsman, Sears, Worx and Central Pneumatic tools. The mass-produced oil-style reproduction paintings in ornate frames and the Lladro/Nao-style porcelain figurines priced $70 to $450 are further reasons for caution, as the figurine prices look ambitious. The sewing room and doll collection are sizable but show no real depth. This is a private listing with a below-average track record, and the Sunday discounts of 50% off from 12 to 2 and 75% off from 2 to 4 are the best reason to go.

The house appears to be an ordinary 1990s-2000s suburban home with builder-grade finishes, beige carpet, white panel doors and a garage full of boxed goods, and the contents are broad rather than deep. The standout is a mid-century molded-plywood and walnut swivel chair with a brass base. Other pieces with some age or character include a 1930s-40s Art Deco waterfall-front cedar chest, a signed Marg Beyers studio-pottery stoneware plate, a 1940s-50s Spalding leather baseball glove, English transferware, and a vintage silver-faced receiver seen on a dresser whose brand and condition are unknown. The workshop offers a Seco dust collector and a Hitachi C12FDH sliding compound miter saw, though the rest of the tool cabinet is plastic-bodied consumer gear, so this is a hobbyist's shop rather than a serious one. Most of the furniture is veneer or laminate, including a scuffed bow-front dresser, an MDF-looking barn-door coffee table and a woodgrain-laminate dining table, and the large Van Gogh print is a reproduction. Much of the rest is big-box stock such as RV pads, a generator, a boxed compressor and a beginner guitar, along with Pyrex, Corelle and unsorted boxes of kitchen miscellany. Photos are mostly close-ups, several look like online-listing screenshots, and the sale company has run below average in past grades.

The house is a modest, lived-in suburban home in a Marysville subdivision, listed around $439,100, with builder-grade finishes: popcorn ceilings, laminate floors, knotty alder cabinets and a faux-brick fireplace. The contents are centered on giftware, including many hand-painted Fenton Burmese and cobalt glass pieces (some signed by the painters), Jim Shore Heartwood Creek figures in quantity, Department 56 Snowbabies, Belleek, Lenox, Bradex collector plates and English bone china cups and saucers from Aynsley, Paragon and Adderley. The Belleek and bone china look genuine and the collection is neatly organized, but it is a themed collectibles sale of moderate depth. The jewelry is the best material: about a dozen sterling stone rings, a Byzantine chain bracelet, a hinged repousse cuff, a squash-blossom-style turquoise necklace and Southwest turquoise inlay pendants and earrings. A tray of small loose cut gemstones in individual cases is also photographed, though no lapidary or jewelry-making tools appear. Most of the rest is ordinary: big-box cookware and small appliances, a leather power recliner, a spindle-back chair, two small oak end tables, decorative prints, amateur paintings, Reader's Digest books and cookbooks, and mass-market clothing. The garage and yard goods (Greenworks mower, Weber kettle grill, pressure washer, plastic tool caddies) are likewise everyday items. The rooms are full, as in a typical full-house sale, but not hoarded.

The photos show no interior at all, only trays, tubs and boxes with cheap table covers and a rural Snohomish yard of rusty equipment, so the house itself can't be judged. The standout is the single-interest depth in lapidary and relics: black trays of loose cabochons (labradorite, tiger's eye, agate, turquoise, opal, jasper), tubs of geodes and rough rock, and large petrified wood and agate slabs hand-labeled as Idaho finds. A glass-top case holds dozens of what look like ancient and medieval bronze items, including fibulae, penannular brooches, buckles, small crosses, an ornate rosette brooch and nine enamelled plaques, which have real curiosity value if priced as dealer stock. The jewelry includes amber, coral and turquoise pieces, but the listing's 'mountain of jewelry' turns out to be mostly a ring card of about 80 silver-tone stone-set rings, which reads as costume. The toys are mainly Kenner-era Star Wars vehicles, boxed Power of the Force figures, McFarlane and Spawn figures and Marvel action figures, and many are loose, yellowed or in crushed boxes. Outdoors there are derelict 1970s Ford cars, a weathered fiberglass boat hull, a compact tractor and old pickups. No furniture, hi-fi, cookware, art or books are visible, and the listing's mentions of cameras and vinyl records are not backed by any photo. The lapidary stock is loose stones and supplies rather than jewelry-making tools. Several photos are blurry or dark, and the private seller's listings have a below-average track record.

The house is a builder-grade 1980s-90s suburban home with beige carpet, popcorn ceilings and wallpaper borders, though it has red-oak built-ins and a brick fireplace; the contents are better than the architecture. The photographed camera collection is the deepest area: a Leica body marked Ernst Leitz Wetzlar in a leather case, an Elmar 9cm lens, Leitz viewfinders and a meter, a Kowa Super 66 kit, a Mamiya Press, Minolta XK, X-700 and SRT 101 bodies, and a boxed Canon 6D and Rebel T2i (EF/EF-S mount). A full darkroom goes with it: a 4x5 view camera on a Regitar tripod, a Beseler enlarger, a color analyzer, timers, Paterson tanks and Kodachrome and paper stock. The garage holds a complete Shopsmith Mark V with many accessories still boxed, plus Delta, DeWalt and Makita tools, routers and clamps. Other good pieces include a pair of DCM TimeFrame oak-trimmed towers with a center channel (respectable mid-to-upper consumer hi-fi, not boutique), blue Le Creuset enameled cast iron, a Pyrex Flameware teapot, an antique hand-knotted Afghan Turkmen rug of about 6'8" x 9'8", and a pair of bentwood oak lounge chairs. The art includes a signed Ray Bethers woodcut, signed etchings, a numbered Zena Kavin lithograph, Harry Rucks serigraphs, a Ginsberg-signed broadside and a deep run of Robert Joseph Ficarra originals, along with Belleek, Wedgwood jasper, Murano glass and a uranium glass group. The twin pair of frosted pink lily-bell glass table lamps with cast lily-pad bases is genuine glass and cast metal, but it is a late-20th-century reproduction, not Art Nouveau. Much of the rest is filler: Hummel-type figures, Lladro, collector plates, Native-themed decor, mall prints, mainstream CDs, VHS, cassettes, caps and band shirts, budget-brand garage tools and watches that look like replicas. The sale runs to 653 photos and is full, though sorted into zones, and the listing's hype ("wickedly rare") overstates it.

The house is a custom-built home, probably from the 1990s-2000s, listed around $971k, with wide-plank floors, a slate entry, maple cabinetry, granite counters and a stone fountain niche; it is well kept and the goods are grouped and photographed individually at normal density. The best pieces are older American furniture: an Art Deco Mount Airy burl-veneer dresser with oval mirror, tall chest and matching cabinet nightstand, a Drexel bow-front dresser with a small matching bedside table, a flame-mahogany Duncan Phyfe-style dresser, mirror and nightstand, a Lane waterfall cedar chest with its original label, and a mahogany slant-front secretary with ball-and-claw feet. Also notable are Roseville pottery in Magnolia, Clematis and Freesia, a signed Kosta Boda crystal bowl, a Lenox bowl, a 9x12 handwoven Chinese wool rug, Pendleton blankets, signed Carol Grigg prints and an oil-on-canvas Dutch landscape in a gilt frame. The crafts depth is real, with a Husqvarna Viking Quilt Designer machine, sorted fabric and bead drawers, a Glastar grinder and a Dremel Moto-Flex, and the garage holds ordinary homeowner tools including Stanley Bailey planes. Caution is warranted on the three-light lily-pad table lamp: it is a well-made Tiffany-style revival (the sale's own caption says 'Tiffany Style Pond Lilly'), not an antique, so price should reflect that. The dark espresso king-bed set is modern retail, and the Southwestern silver and turquoise jewelry could not be authenticated from photos, with the Tiffany item only a key ring. Much of the bulk is Christmas and Hallmark ornaments, baskets, whimsical decor and a mid-range stereo with no tower speakers, and there are no restrooms on site and a long drive to Sisters.

The house is a semi-rural home of roughly 1990s-2000s construction with honey-oak trim, oak kitchen cabinets and a mix of carpet, tile and oak flooring, furnished in a Southwest, lodge and New Age style. The strongest items are a Stressless (Ekornnes) leather recliner with ottoman, a genuine Landers, Frary & Clark cast-iron coffee grinder, a vintage cedar chest with its guarantee certificate in the lid, and a Kodak Brownie 300 8mm projector in its box. The garage and carport hold the best outdoor gear: a blue and a red touring sea kayak on a trailer, two Perception Swifty recreational kayaks, and a Bacchetta recumbent bike. There is also a group of signed contemporary paintings by G. Sweet, dated 2020-23, which are original but modest, so they are only attractive if priced low. Beyond these, most of the sale is mass-market: framed prints (Maxfield Parrish, Josephine Wall) and canvas wraps, resin bear, moose and fairy lamps and figurines, twig furniture, a laminate desk, mid-grade stainless and nonstick cookware, and New Age paperbacks. A large share is consumables such as candles, cleaning supplies and bath products, and the tools are modest. The records are mainstream and the turntable is a Crosley combo, and the weight bench came with no barbells or plates. Surfaces are crowded, but items are individually visible.

The sale is in a late-1980s/90s builder-grade house in Lynden, WA, with oak trim and cabinetry, beige carpet and no period or architectural detail; it appears to have been lived in for a long time. The best items are tagged: a 97-piece WMF Cromargan flatware set at $595 (75% off on the day I saw it), a 95-piece Noritake Rothschild service at $595, Royal Worcester Evesham china, Drexel-labeled walnut dining and bedroom pieces including a buffet, nesting tables and a mahogany slant-front secretary, a pair of Stiffel brass lamps at $250 plus a Stiffel bouillotte-style swag lamp, a Singer 401A in its original cabinet, and two Chinese wool rugs and a Persian-style tribal wool rug. Copper kettle and jello mold, Pyrex and Corningware add a little more. Beyond those, the contents are mixed and mostly mid-grade: Tupperware, VHS tapes, children's paperbacks, costume jewelry, women's clothing and shoes, Christmas decor and vintage toys, with much of the glassware being Indiana Glass Kings Crown and Park Lane, which is collectible rather than fine. The furniture is Drexel/Heritage-style veneer rather than solid wood, and there are no tools, hi-fi, art or notable books. Because this was the second day with markdowns, the better pieces may already have been picked over, though the rooms were still orderly and priced with pink dots and handwritten tags.

The sale is in a late-1990s or 2000s builder-grade tract house in a gated Eugene community, with beige carpet, textured walls and no period detail, so the contents are mostly mid-range with a few older pieces that stand out. The best of them are in the front room: a Danish-style teak sled-base side table with a solid rounded top, mitered loop legs and visible joinery, a Scandinavian-style bouclé lounge chair with solid walnut or teak arms and legs (unmarked in the photos), a Pace-style waterfall glass coffee table with brass trim, and a Curtis Jere-style torch-cut steel and copper wall sculpture. Also worth a look are a Linden Westminster-chime oak mantel clock, an Estey upright piano with bench and sheet music, a signed oil seascape titled "Bandon By the Sea", a set of laminated turned wood bowls, and about 300 jazz, vocal and classical CDs (Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Peggy Lee) in a rack. The kitchen is good for its tier, with a KitchenAid Heavy Duty mixer, vintage turquoise Pyrex Butterprint casseroles, Mikasa Sunny Side and Dansk Cafe Moderne dishes, and some studio pottery. Caution is warranted because most of the furniture is 1980s-90s oak and maple production pieces, and much of the decor is mass-market or collectible-tier: Depression glass, Franciscan Desert Rose, Noritake-style china, a Tiffany-style lamp, clown figurines and a large Christmas collection. The garage holds ordinary Stanley, Craftsman and Makita tools with no serious workshop, and there is no fine art, silver or hi-fi. The sale is tidy, walkable and laid out clearly, and the company's track record runs slightly above average.

The house is a modest, newer builder-grade ranch with laminate and carpet floors, light-maple kitchen cabinets and no period details, and the garage and driveway are full of yard gear. The strongest category is designer handbags and shoes: a Coach signature jacquard satchel, a clutch and boxed red Coach clogs, two Dooney & Bourke leather hobos with dust bags, two Michael Kors black leather bags, and several pieces with tags still on. Western and wildlife decor includes signed and numbered offset lithographs (Maija 818/950, Steve Devenyns 26/750, Nancy Glazier, Bev Doolittle) and a 1991 W.E. Ten Eyck pencil drawing, which are genuine but mid-tier. Other better pieces are a German-style oak wall clock with beveled glass and pendulum, a Klaussner chest of drawers in solid wood and veneer, a silverplate tea and coffee set, a Bose Wave Music System, and a John Deere lawn tractor and Generac 5000-watt generator. Be cautious about the Remington-labeled bronzes on marble bases, which look like modern reproduction castings with little value, and about roughly 20 Hummel figurines and Murano-style and Fenton-style glass, which are mass-market collectibles. Furniture is mostly oak veneer, floral damask and glass-top pieces, the kitchen is as-seen-on-TV cookware and small appliances, and the books are modern. Tables are tagged and orderly, though the listing mentions hand tools, a drill press and vinyl albums that were not photographed.

The house is a modest, builder-grade manufactured home with wood paneling, popcorn-style ceilings, hollow-core doors and wall-to-wall carpet, so it offers no architectural interest and the better goods come from long-term collecting. The standout area is a dedicated sewing room with shelves and bins of sorted fabric, a Brother Innov-is Dreamweaver embroidery machine, an Elnapress steam press, quilting batting, finished quilts, and a weaving stash of cone yarn priced at $5 each. The real period furniture includes a c. 1900 quartersawn oak serpentine dresser with carved door panels, a matching carved oak headboard, a Singer treadle machine in an oak cabinet, a 19th-century washstand at $200, and a Hoosier-style cabinet. Large pegboards hold bagged, priced vintage and sterling jewelry, with some Victorian and Edwardian pieces according to the listing, along with trays of loose beads and findings but no jewelry-making tools. Also on offer are a Gemeinhardt silver flute in its case, a mahogany workbench with vise and hand tools, a KitchenAid mixer, an older Cuisinart processor and a Murano-style cased-glass lamp. Much of the volume is mid-range decor such as crystal, pressed glass, perfume bottles, tins, wicker baskets and trinket boxes, audio is limited to a Bose Wave radio and a small Sharp mini-system, and the sale company's track record runs slightly below average. Nearly everything is tagged and the rooms are packed but orderly.

The house is a builder-grade 1990s tract home with beige carpet, laminate plank floors, oak-stained trim and granite-look counters, and it has no built-ins, plaster or period detail. The contents match: mass-market furniture such as a farmhouse table, a pine Colonial-style bedroom set and faux-leather stools, plus a large volume of boxed budget cookware (Parini, Emeril, Thane, Jack LaLanne) and mass-market seasonal decor. The best part is the vintage outdoor and winter gear: roughly 15 bamboo ski poles with leather straps and woven baskets, several pairs of wooden skis, three or four pairs of ash-and-rawhide snowshoes, wooden water skis, and a row of five or six wicker-and-leather fishing creels. The creels look like mid-century commercial pieces rather than antiques. Smaller points of interest are six solid-wood mid-century-style dining chairs with tapered legs, a mahogany blanket chest, an oak serpentine dresser, a hand-painted crosscut saw, and a boxed Lodge skillet set. The vintage hi-fi (Jensen and Infinity towers, a Yamaha/Pioneer/Panasonic stack) is mid-tier consumer gear rather than high-end, and the toys and sports memorabilia (boxed Erector, Tyco and slot-car sets, bobbleheads) are mostly mass-market 1960s-90s items. Books are paperbacks and textbooks, with no art of note. The house is full but not hoarded, and the company running it has a below-average track record, so go only if bamboo and wood outdoor gear appeals.

The house is an ordinary mid-range suburban home with an attached garage, builder-grade to mid-range finishes (laminate wood-look floors, popcorn ceilings, granite-tile kitchen counters, maple shaker cabinets), and the contents match: average, lived-in household goods. The best furniture is a maple/cherry-toned Early American hutch, a carved-back dining set with an extension table, a cedar chest, a small oak-look desk, two oak/maple dressers and a Stressless-style leather recliner with ottoman, all of which look like older solid wood in the photos. Also worth a look are mid-century hand-painted dinnerware (a pink passion-flower pattern), a Noritake-style gray-rose set and a crate of vinyl LPs including the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, Elton John and Rolling Stones-type records. The small goods are mostly collectibles: Disney and Mickey toys and plush, diecast cars, Tyco/HO trains, lunchboxes, Department 56-style lit villages, Breyer-type horses, Russian nesting dolls, mallard decoys and an Oregon Ducks theme. Most other furniture is mass-market, including a fabric sofa, rattan loveseat, particle-board shelves and plastic bins, and the electronics are dated (Samsung flat TV, Sony boombox, VCR, DVDs). The garage is mostly chemicals, paint cans and lawn tools with nothing in the way of serious tools, and there is no hi-fi gear or notable art. On the practical side, the ordinary amount of clutter makes it easy to shop.

The sale is in a small, older bungalow in Silverton, Oregon, likely from the 1920s, with textured plaster walls, painted wood trim, painted kitchen cabinets with old-style pulls and dated green damask wall-to-wall carpet. The house is pleasant but has no standout architecture, and the contents are mostly ordinary household goods. The best pieces are antique: an arched oak mirrored wardrobe with carved panels, a curvy Art Deco waterfall-style mahogany display cabinet, an oval oak mirror and a kidney-shaped wood desk. Hull pottery (including a water lily cornucopia vase), Fiestaware, Pyrex, green Depression glass, blue Delft and Willow transferware are genuine vintage, though they lean nostalgic rather than rare. Shelves of vinyl LPs and a large box of 45s are worth a quick dig, but the CDs number a few hundred at most, and the art supplies, large oil paintings and art-history and drawing books are at a hobbyist scale. Caution is warranted because most of the furniture is painted-white chalk-style pieces, a 1990s oak veneer hutch, a pine sleigh bed and a floral chaise. The listing itself advertises knickknacks and collectibles, and the photos show fairy collector plates, a Little Red Riding Hood teapot, Shiny Brite ornaments, dolls, toys and a lot of Halloween and Christmas decor. There is no sterling (only silverplate), no tools and no named high-end hi-fi, though the clutter level is normal and the sale is easy to shop.

The house is a small, older home with textured plaster walls and arched doorways, and the contents are mid-market and decorative rather than fine furnishings. The best part is the vinyl: several boxes of roughly 60-100 LPs each, with early Bob Dylan (Freewheelin' in stereo, the mono debut, Blonde on Blonde), a Them Parrot mono, Blind Faith, Tim Buckley, Donovan's Sunshine Superman, The Band, Jethro Tull's Benefit and Bee Gees Odessa in the red velvet cover. Beyond records, there are some better ceramics (Wedgwood blue jasperware, marked Noritake, a chintz biscuit barrel), an antique bird's-eye maple or birch-veneer serpentine chest with brass bail pulls, a walnut regulator wall clock, and two black mantel clocks, one possibly Sessions. The colored glass is deep, covering Fenton hobnail, ruby, cranberry, uranium and vaseline pieces (photographed under blacklight) and pink depression glass, but it is collectible-grade rather than rare. The large Coca-Cola collection is mostly licensed 1990s-2000s items, many still boxed, and the souvenir spoons are mostly plated tourist pieces. Be cautious about the furniture, since a green damask bench looks like a reproduction and the shelving is cheap laminate, and the art is mass-produced prints. The photos are dim and flash-lit with some dust, and the record sleeves show ring wear and edge damage, so vinyl condition is unknown. There are no tools, hi-fi gear, cookware or notable books to speak of.

The house is a modest older bungalow, roughly 1920s-50s, with popcorn ceilings, laminate counters, painted cabinets, brightly painted walls and a brick-look fireplace; it has some period touches such as dark stained trim, tongue-and-groove paneling and a built-in oak-front linen cupboard. The contents are mostly decor: well over 100 glazed ceramic figural teapots, probably 1980s-2000s Fitz and Floyd-style novelty pieces with no readable maker marks, plus heavy Christmas and seasonal displays and Elvis, Felix the Cat and Pepsi memorabilia. The best individual pieces are a Hamilton-style burl-front mantel clock with a brass dial, a mahogany lyre-base drop-leaf side table with lion-head pulls, a gilt-framed oil landscape, a red enameled cast-iron Dutch oven and skillet (brand not legible, so check for a Le Creuset mark), and a Wagner-type aluminum roaster. The workshop is a decent but ordinary hobbyist setup: a pegboard of Proto and Crescent wrenches, handsaws, a bench vise, a Stanley-style bench plane, and consumer-grade Craftsman, Ryobi and Black & Decker power tools including a table saw, jointer/planer and band saw. Furniture is largely veneer, laminate and particle board, kitchenware is mostly Corelle-type dishes and nonstick pans, and there is no notable hi-fi, art, rugs, books or silver; records are a stack of 1960s pop LPs and about 100 CDs. On the practical side, the house is full but orderly and everything is priced, with a sewing room and a single Marine Corps service uniform among the miscellany.

The house is a 1990s-2000s tract home in a Salem subdivision backing onto a golf course, with vinyl plank floors, textured walls, builder-grade cabinets and no period details. Contents match it: mid-grade traditional furniture, including a tufted burgundy leather Chesterfield-style sofa and pressboard or veneer curios and bookcases, plus big-box household goods. The few better items are a Persian-style room rug of about 8x10 that looks like hand-knotted or hand-tufted wool, an antique oak treadle sewing machine cabinet from roughly 1900-1920, an antique dome-top steamer trunk with painted paper panels, Royal Albert Old Country Roses sets and bone china teacups, and some local studio pottery bowls. A boxed Sega Genesis CDX with Sega CD games, Master System cartridges and a boxed Game Boy Advance is the most collectible group, and there is a boxed sterling Italy bracelet and some sterling-marked jewelry, though most of the jewelry looks like costume. Most of the sale is mass-market limited editions: dozens of boxed Harbour Lights lighthouses, about 40 bells, Steinbach nutcrackers, Anchor Bay ship models, Heritage Village pieces, Royal Doulton and Bossons character jugs, Thomas Kinkade canvases, prints and plates, and several decorator oils signed L. Smith in gilt frames. The listing's claims of a fully loaded workshop, enameled cast iron and copper cookware, and fine furniture are not borne out by the photos: the tools are Ridgid, Skil, Stanley and Irwin, the kitchen is ceramic-coated nonstick, Pyrex and Corelle, and the audio is just a soundbar. The garage is packed and hard to see into, tables are crowded, and the company's past sales have graded poorly, so expect breadth of collectibles rather than quality.

This is a well-kept, long-lived suburban house, likely a 1990s-2000s build, with tray and textured ceilings, tile and carpet, and every surface filled with decorative china, glass and collectibles. The standout is a multi-arm lily lamp with ruffled, trumpet-shaped art-glass shades on curving bronze-finished stalks; it is a late-20th-century Tiffany-inspired piece rather than leaded antique glass, and the base was not visible in the photos. Other good pieces include a quarter-sawn oak corner china cabinet with bowed glass, a pair of weighted three-light candelabra and a gadroon-rim creamer that look like sterling (no hallmarks were readable), Waterford-style cut crystal, a fitted silverplate flatware chest, gilt-framed oil paintings, a cylinder music box, dozens of antique German porcelain half-dolls, and a large Belleek parian shamrock collection. Jewelry tables are tagged around $14-$26 and include carved jade-type pendants, cinnabar bangles and many silver-tone bangles. Be cautious: roughly half the photos show mass-market Christmas figures (Jim Shore, nutcrackers, Lowell Davis-style bears), and there is a lot of boxed Lenox and similar collectibles. The rubber-stamp and Cricut-type craft stash is large but mass-market, and the kitchenware, tools, audio and furniture are everyday-grade apart from the oak cabinet. The sale runs 50% off on Saturday and Dollar Day on Sunday, and the company's track record is slightly above average.

The house is a modest, lived-in 1950s-70s ranch with builder-grade finishes: birch kitchen cabinets, vinyl tile, popcorn ceilings, wall-to-wall or shag carpet and oak strip floors in the bedrooms. The sale spreads through the rooms, the garage and a yard of pop-up tents, and is run by The Rusty Trunk LLC, which sells everything as-is with no returns. The standout is the CD collection, photographed as about a dozen labeled boxes and bins (an estimated 1,000-2,000 discs on one table alone) plus several towers and shelf units elsewhere, so the total looks like thousands across rock, folk, classical and soundtracks. Several hundred LPs and 45s are spread across multiple rooms, including crates of classic rock, soundtracks and cast albums, and some early US Beatles pressings (Vee-Jay Introducing the Beatles, Capitol Yesterday and Today). The hi-fi is mid-range 1980s-90s gear, including a Technics turntable, Marantz CD player, Teac cassette deck, Yamaha receiver, Sony components and wood-cabinet bookshelf speakers, with no standout speakers. Other items of note are an older, 1930s-looking acoustic guitar in a worn case beside a new-tag Fender acoustic, a large Mikasa Intaglio stoneware set, English bone china teacups, an impasto oil seascape in a stained pine frame and a KitchenAid Classic Plus stand mixer. Expect heavy collectible content (boxed Campbell's Kids and Hallmark ornaments, Department 56-style houses, Beanie Babies, McDonald's premiums, Barbie items, rooster decor), common maple and veneer colonial-style furniture, thin stainless cookware, paperback book stock and consumer-grade yard tools. Several areas are outdoors on damp grass, so goods are crowded and wet, and with 356 photos of mostly filler the sale takes real digging.

The house is a large, established suburban home with oak floors, crown molding, built-ins, granite counters and a pole-barn workshop, comfortable and custom-leaning rather than period or architectural. The standout is the collection depth: dozens of Hanson and other antique dial scales, a big accumulation of wooden spools and thread cones, and roughly 40 to 50 pump and thumb-press oil cans in pressed steel and brass, ranging from tiny to one very long-spouted example. Furniture includes a matched pair of two-drawer cherry nightstands with pull-out slides, plus a sleigh bed, dresser and chest. It looks like a quality suite, but the photos were too soft to say whether it is solid wood or veneer. Other real-wood pieces are an antique oak serpentine-front chest with a bookcase hutch top, an oak roll-top desk, a Chippendale-style secretary bookcase and a Hoosier cabinet. Dealer-grade antiques include an oak Victrola floor cabinet, tabletop phonographs, a brass microscope, a flax spinning wheel and a ship's wheel. The shop has a lathe, Ridgid table saw, dust collector and a handmade wooden drift boat, but the tools are mid-grade consumer and prosumer rather than premium vintage. Caution is warranted because much of the stock is primitive, rustic or decorative, including Department 56 boxes, ceramic chickens, ruby-flash glass, wicker baskets and mass-market Christmas items. Books are mostly modern paperbacks, and parking is tight, with none on Bell Road.

The sale is in a well-kept Craftsman-style bungalow in an established inner northeast Portland neighborhood, with fir and oak floors, built-in glass-front cabinets beside a tiled fireplace, wainscoting and a turned-newel staircase. The best items are the gilt-framed landscape oils hung in the stairwell, dining room, hall and TV room; they look original in photos, but signatures and quality need checking in person. Other better pieces include a Lenox-style cream china service with platinum rims in large quantity, plenty of crystal stemware, Spode-style transferware, an oak slant-front secretary with a mirror crest, Eastlake carved walnut side chairs, a mahogany Queen Anne-style dining set and Persian/Heriz-style wool rugs in three rooms. The attic holds a large, well-organized quilting and fabric stash with a sewing machine in a cabinet, but it is consumer-grade fabric and supplies and adds little. Most of the rest is mid-range: an IKEA-style cherry-tone kitchen with KitchenAid and Cuisinart appliances, knotty pine bedroom furniture, casual and melamine dinnerware, decor-store canvas prints, and many mostly machine-made baskets, figurines and stuffed animals. The garage and basement offer ordinary lawn tools, a treadmill and a small pegboard workbench of mixed hand tools, and there is no serious audio gear beyond a small receiver and a modest shelf of CDs and VHS tapes.

The house is an established two-story suburban home in the Bethany area of northwest Portland, builder-grade to mid-range, with beige carpet, oak floors in places and a brick fireplace. The strongest goods are solid-wood pieces: Amish-made Borkholder highboy, writing desk, end tables and entry cabinet, Bob Timberlake bookcases and TV cabinet, a cherry breakfront china cabinet, a Windsor bench, and a Chippendale-style dining table with ribbonback chairs (about eight), plus crewel-style wingbacks. Two Ekornes Stressless leather recliner sets with ottomans are the named-brand seating. The art is modest but real: signed Carol Grigg prints, signed black-and-white landscape photographs, cyanotype flower prints and Northwest Coast formline pieces. Household names include Le Creuset Dutch ovens, a copper saucepan, a Miele B 990 rotary ironer, Wedgwood Wild Strawberry, Nicholas Mosse spongeware, a Herman Miller Aeron chair and a Pfaff Creative sewing machine with a hand-made quilt setup. A cut-crystal stemware lot is listed as Waterford Marquis. The cherry nightstands appear as single pieces in the photos rather than matched pairs. Caution is warranted because a lot of the sale is collectible or mass-market: Lladro-type figurines, Hummels, Margaret Furlong ornaments, a large signed Lefever Santa and shell-angel collection, reproduction made-in-China wind-up tin toys, Longaberger-type baskets and costume jewelry. The garage holds ordinary homeowner power tools (Ryobi, DeWalt, EGO, Skilsaw) rather than a serious workshop, and there is no notable library or audio gear. Some of the furniture is builder-grade or particle board, and the larger items carry price tags, so expect to sort through plenty of ordinary goods.

The house is an ordinary 1980s-90s two-story suburban home with honey-oak cabinets, laminate counters, beige wall-to-wall carpet and a brick gas fireplace; it is builder-grade and not architecturally notable, and the contents run better than the house. The best items are the antique wood pieces: an Eastlake-style walnut secretary/bookcase with a glazed upper cabinet, a carved Eastlake platform rocker in red cut velvet, marble-top walnut Eastlake dressers and commodes, and a 1930s waterfall-style vanity, tall chest and dresser. Tableware is the other strong group, with a large display of bone china teacups and saucers, cut and pressed crystal, green depression glass, silver-plate trays and serving pieces, and blue-and-white Blue Onion-style pieces. There is also an older harbor oil painting with a steamship and visible brushwork in a gilt-lined dark frame, and a Navajo-style flat-woven wool rug in grey, red and black, though the photos don't establish that it is authentic hand-woven work. The listing also mentions sterling, copper pots, Pendleton shirts and leather and shearling coats, which were not seen in the photos. Be cautious about the rest: much of it is everyday modern kitchenware (Keurig, Chefman and Aroma appliances, Corelle, Pyrex-style bakeware), a rack of about 30 handbags, mall-tier décor and large decorative gallery-wrap flower canvases, and a lot of unmarked $1 Christmas filler. The oak sideboard and five-drawer chest look like mid-grade later furniture of uncertain construction. The keyboard, treadmill, VHS tapes and $2 LPs are low-value, and listing phrases like 'HUGE ONE' and 'Brand Name Vintage' oversell what is there. Items are visible and priced despite crowding in the living room.

The house is a modest, established mid-century brick ranch with oak floors, ordinary and lived-in, with no notable period or built-in details, and the sale spreads across the rooms, garage, basement and yard. The strongest area is the garage, with 50+ fly and other rods, Orvis and Wright & McGill rod tubes, dozens of fly boxes, about 40 jars of feathers and furs for fly tying, a vise, Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reels, vintage lures and angling books, plus roughly 25 axes and hatchets (Hudson Bay, camp and splitting types, a few with Gransfors-style handles). The best furniture is a large quarter-sawn oak Arts-and-Crafts library table with copper strap hardware and through-tenon legs, of Stickley-school quality or a good period copy; a quarter-sawn oak side-by-side secretary with a beveled mirror, a mahogany slant-front secretary with glazed doors, an oak Mission settle and a quartersawn oak desk/server round out the antiques. Smaller groups include 15 or more pieces of cast iron (Lodge, Crescent Foundry Ozark), a few vintage typewriters, a Kawai upright piano and some 1960s-70s Hot Wheels Redlines, though many of the cast-iron pieces are rusty and the Redlines are play-worn and unboxed. Most of what remains is mass-market: Star Trek, baseball and Garbage Pail Kids cards, comics, Knowles and Bradford plates, Jim Beam decanters, lady head vases, costume jewelry and Halloween and Christmas kitsch. The Tiffany-style lamps are reproductions, the dishes are mostly Liberty Blue, Corelle and Pyrex, the audio is small consumer gear, and the tools are mostly homeowner grade. The good pieces are scattered among many tables of ordinary goods, so expect to hunt for them.

The sale is spread across a large concrete-floored garage or shop, a back shed, an indoor pool room and the yard of a rural Estacada parcel, so the goods are mixed, utilitarian and accumulated rather than a curated interior. The standouts are a quartersawn tiger-oak slant-front desk with a Craftsman look, a round oak pedestal table with claw feet, an antique oak serpentine-front dresser and an oak icebox, plus a well-made German Erzgebirge-style wooden Christmas pyramid and a Pacific Stoneware Portland No. 2 crock. A bin of old hand tools appears to include a plane that may be worth a look. Beyond those pieces, the Christmas section is very large but mass-market: dozens of totes of light strings, silk poinsettias, and Santa and snowman figurines. The rest is filler, including pressed and cut glass, giftware figurines, Corelle-type dishes, decor-grade gilt mirrors, floral still lifes, hobby-store prints, Colonial-style buffet and hutch pieces, floral sofas, nostalgia items like Barbie-type dolls, VHS tapes and a Davy Crockett tin playset, and a Gucci-pattern duffel of unknown authenticity. The garage, shed and yard side is ordinary hardware, an inflatable boat, an irrigation controller, a compressor and garden chemicals, and there are no books, silver, hi-fi or notable art. Items are individually visible and tagged with green dots, though the crowding means a lot of digging for little payoff.

The house is a newer subdivision home with builder-grade finishes (plank flooring, quartz counters, textured walls, beige bedroom carpet) and no period features. It is neat, with small tags on items laid out on tables, and the clutter is a normal full-sale amount with aisles open. The better pieces are few: an antique quarter-sawn oak round parlor table with turned spindle legs and glass-ball-and-claw feet, a small oak machinist-style multi-drawer tool chest with dovetailed corners, and a signed oil-on-canvas still life of a Chianti bottle, fruit and grapes in a worn painted frame (signed Nita Scott). Useful but modest extras include a Vitamix 5200, a Zojirushi rice cooker, an Audio-Technica direct-drive turntable (the only mid-tier hi-fi item), Kosta Boda boxed glass ornaments at $20 and a Waterford ornament, and the listing mentions sterling jewelry that wasn't seen in the photos. Against that, the cookware is nonstick granite-coated, the furniture is mostly modern mass-market, and the large Christmas stock is largely Hallmark Keepsake and similar. The tools are homeowner grade (a Husky rolling chest, a Craftsman polisher, bins of hardware), the electronics are consumer computer speakers and RAM, and the craft room is hobby-store stock. Fiestaware-style and MacKenzie-Childs-style dishes, Brighton-style bags and a Gucci-marked bag that may be a replica are logo items rather than quality finds, and the red Bokhara-style rug would need its wool content checked in person.

The sale is in a 2000s-era tract-style house with wood-look laminate floors, textured walls, quartz-look counters and builder-grade carpet, and the contents match: contemporary, mass-market and tidy, with items priced on tables and in bins. The standout is a quarter-sawn oak parlor table with a scalloped top, bobbin-turned legs and ball-and-claw glass-foot feet. The home gym is a decent mid-range setup: two Olympic-style chrome barbells, a third standard-size bar, cast-iron Standard-brand plates in 10, 25 and 35 lb, plus cardio machines and a power tower. Only one plate was seen clearly and no loaded bar was photographed. Smaller items of some interest include a Vitamix 5200, a Zojirushi rice cooker, sterling and turquoise jewelry (discounted only 25%), a small oil painting of fruit and wine, and a red-ground Bokhara-style rug whose hand- or machine-made construction couldn't be told from the photos. Be cautious about the rest: non-stick cookware, a faux-leather pub dining set, microfiber and sectional seating, and a lot of Christmas decor and board games that are filler. The MacKenzie-Childs-style, Fiestaware-style, Talavera and Delft pieces are decorative rather than serious quality goods. The tools are homeowner grade, the audio gear is a basic Audio-Technica turntable and computer speakers, and the Coach, Michael Kors and Gucci items are logo goods. The listing also leans on rustic, barnwood and farmhouse-style painted pieces. A half-off Sunday helps the value, but there is no deep collection here.

The sale is held inside a spray-foam-insulated, metal-framed shop or barn with a bare concrete floor, on a rural-edge acreage with outbuildings in Hillsboro, so the photos show the leftovers of a working property rather than the house or its contents. The best pieces are a carved walnut Victorian-style sewing table with a mosaic parquetry top and fretwork pedestal base, a mahogany Hepplewhite-style console table with a bowed front and tapered spade feet, and a solid pine washstand-style cabinet with porcelain knobs; a Victorian carved rocking chair and a balloon-back parlor chair add a little more period interest. Shop items include a Craftsman radial arm saw on a steel stand with a particle-board table, a bench vise and a red tool chest, which are usable but mid-grade, and worth it only if priced cheaply. Small goods such as silver-plate teapots and creamers, copper and stainless cookware and a tall etched glass apothecary jar are mildly interesting, but the silver is plate rather than sterling. Most of the rest is filler: moving boxes, gas cans, monitors, portable AC units, Galaxy grow-light ballasts, an IBC tote, Southwestern-stripe armchairs, blonde particle-board display cabinets, $40 pole shelves, tin signs, craft collages and paperbacks. The mix reads as general mixed goods with no depth in any single area. The room looks full but not packed, with passable aisles, though the listing is private and the company's track record runs slightly below average.

The house is a comfortable, established suburban home of roughly $481K in a Milwaukie neighborhood, with carpet and laminate floors, a granite kitchen with white cabinets, and white built-ins around a tiled fireplace. Contents match that level: mostly modern upholstered furniture such as Castellano chenille sofas and chairs, gray swivel chairs and a metal-and-glass coffee table. The real wood is limited to a serpentine-front oak dresser with a tall swing mirror and an oak commode chair. The most substantial collection is about 100 vintage wedding-cake-topper and bride/groom figurines across three shelves, with lady head vases, nun figurines and bisque toppers, which is real depth though a niche subject. Other material includes Black Americana (shakers, figures, tumblers, wall masks and price-guide books), Kewpie and nursery items, Fiesta-style and jadeite ware, German steins, Ron Lee clowns, Tonka trucks and vintage Westclox and Big Ben alarm clocks. Art Deco chrome airplane lamps with frosted glass fuselages have some design interest if the glass is intact, and the beveled mirrors and a few older small florals may be worth a look if the frames are decent. Wall art is mostly offset prints (Scott Gustafson, Jenny Foster) with no original work, the leaded dragonfly lamp is Tiffany-style, the bedroom pieces are wicker, and the listing is hype-heavy while the photos show common collectibles rather than rare finds. There are no tools, hi-fi, cookware or books of note, and the house is full but orderly, with everything visible and tagged with dots.

The house is a builder-grade 1990s suburban home with beige carpet, popcorn ceilings and oak-veneer cabinets, with no period detail. The standout is the woodturning: dozens of hand-turned burl and live-edge bowls, hollow forms, platters and clocks, about 30 turned bottle stoppers, and a drawer of turned pens, all displayed in an oak wall unit and a den. It looks like genuine studio craft, though no lathe or turning tools were photographed. The den also holds a matching 1980s Sansui rack (FR-D45 turntable, T-7 tuner, A-7 amplifier, D-151M cassette deck) beside two large floor speakers whose brand could not be read. Other better pieces include a Chippendale-style mahogany kneehole desk, a gilt-framed oil landscape, a cast-iron and marble bistro table, a fold-out bar cabinet, a lot of cut crystal, Zwilling knives, a few Pendleton wool shirts and a Singer Slant-O-Matic 500. Beyond those, expect mass-market goods: Department 56-style lit houses, nutcrackers, Hummel-type figures, Precious Moments, collector plates, Tupperware, Pyrex and Corelle, and a garage shelved with CRT TVs, VCRs, Walkmans and tapes. Furniture is mostly oak veneer or laminate, the books are Reader's Digest sets, cookbooks and paperbacks, and the vinyl is easy-listening, religious and Disney. The several hundred thimbles are mostly souvenir or bone-china, with only a few silver, and the rubber-stamp and sewing gear is ordinary hobby-store grade. There is a lot to sort through, but everything is shelved and visible.

The house is a lived-in 1970s–90s ranch or manufactured-style home with carpet, textured walls, a popcorn ceiling and vinyl kitchen flooring, and the contents are mostly mid-grade. The headline is several hundred pieces of brass, copper and silverplate on floor-to-ceiling shelving in a back workshop, including candlesticks, kettles, teapots, samovar-style urns and bins of loose flatware with Rogers 'Reflection' marks, and a hand-painted 'Geneva's Antiques & Things' sign shows it was a part-time dealer's stock. Most of it looks like plate and decorative brass, not sterling or heavy cookware, so the pitch of thousands of pieces is mostly volume. The better small items are a hammered copper box with Arts-and-Crafts tulip motifs, a hand-hammered copper ewer, cast-iron sad irons and kettle, and a signed lithograph and an Erté print mentioned in the listing, whose authenticity is unclear and could be reproductions. A few furniture pieces stand out: an oak roll-top desk-style chest, an oak dresser with a wavy mirror and white porcelain knobs, and a flame-mahogany two-drawer chest with brass bail pulls. Beyond that the sale is plush toys, dolls, cobalt glass, concrete and resin garden decor, craft and bead supplies, and budget tools (Ryobi 18V, a Stack-On chest, with a Makita drill kit the best of them), and the shed is mostly paint and aerosol cans. No hi-fi, books or serious art turned up, and the 'unusual and curious collectibles' wording in the listing oversells what the photos show.

This is a commercial marine and welding shop plus sheds, a barn and a box trailer in West Linn, not a household sale, with concrete floors, painted plywood walls and aluminum diamond-plate carts and shelves. The marine and fabrication work is fairly deep: Mercury 9.9 ProKicker and larger outboards on custom stands, welders and plasma gear, a sandblast cabinet, a roughly 20-lb anvil on a wheel-hub stand, cast and Olympia bench vises, and many labeled bins of fittings, hose and fuel parts. The best-looking pieces are a Delta table saw with a Biesemeyer-style fence and some older pipe wrenches, axes and bars with wood handles and real age. Most of the tools, though, are Ryobi, Husky, Harbor Freight/Central Pneumatic and Pittsburgh, and the rest is farm and garage filler such as gas cans, tires, fence supplies, appliances and surf gear. There is also a low oak 12-drawer cabinet on casters that looks like flat-file storage, but it appears to be modern veneer over particleboard, and the drawer interiors were not visible. A box of Beanie Babies and McDonald's Teenie Beanies, 1990s sports cards and Wheaties boxes add nostalgia filler, while there is no furniture, art, rugs or hi-fi to speak of. The auction is run in bulk lots, so you win a whole lot and cannot cherry-pick single items, which makes the few better pieces harder to justify chasing.

The sale is held in a strip-mall storefront on a commercial corridor, with drop-ceiling tiles, fluorescent lighting and gray commercial carpet, so the space says nothing about any household. The goods look like rolling inventory from many sources, and the shop advertises new stock coming in daily. The better furniture includes an oak slant-front desk, an oak and walnut barrister bookcase, a grandfather clock, a 1940s waterfall-veneer dresser, a carved Chinese-style drop-front bureau and a vintage Zenith radio console. Other standouts are a Gouda-style Dutch art-pottery vase, Pyrex and pink depression glass, a large used-book room with hardcovers, and a framed-art room with some oil paintings in gilt frames. A corner of genuine professional support gear, with chrome C-stands, a Kenlock-head tripod and a few other tripods in carry bags, is real but shallow, with no lights or flashes seen. Overall quality runs mixed to low-mid: there are leather recliner sofas, veneer and laminate pieces, knockoff items and yellow-velvet dining chairs. Heavy filler includes clothing racks, carded 90s action figures, Christmas collectibles, posters and costume jewelry. The hi-fi is mid-range at best, with a turntable, receivers, small bookshelf and computer speakers and cheap PA amps. Rooms are packed tightly, though items stay individually visible.

The house is a comfortable, established 1970s Pacific Northwest contemporary on a wooded lot, listed around $1.03M, with red cedar siding, vaulted ceilings, a full brick fireplace wall, picture windows onto the garden, oak floors in the main rooms and stone-slab entry paving. It looks architecturally interesting, but only the main living areas were photographed in detail, and the other rooms are builder-grade, with popcorn ceilings, beige carpet in the den and a laminate-and-veneer kitchen. The strongest goods are about a dozen hand-knotted Persian, Afghan and Baluch wool rugs (Bokhara-style, Baluch prayer rugs, Hamadan-type and Oushak-style), tagged with blue tape. Next comes a deep antique bottle and jar collection of well over 100 tagged pieces on custom wall shelves, including canning jars, milk bottles, insulators and demijohns, many with applied lips and in a range of colors. A nautical and sea-life collection adds a mounted marlin or wahoo, giant clam and conch shells (not sold individually), flags, buoys and anchors. Other pieces include antique printer's-type cabinets, a mahogany-style bow-front sideboard, a carved camphor chest, vintage hi-fi (a Technics-labeled cabinet, a wood-cased receiver, a reel-to-reel and records) and a long National Geographic run, though the hi-fi brands are not legible in the photos. Expect caution elsewhere: the kitchen is ordinary stainless, Corningware and enamel, the books are mostly paperbacks and trade hardcovers, and the workshop tools (a radial arm saw, bandsaw and drill press among them) are mixed, plastic-bin grade. The garage and carport hold engine blocks, mowers, generators, a USMC-marked trailer and automotive fluids, with no antiques or fine pieces beyond one possibly solid-wood mid-century desk. The listing is broad and generic and the sale is full, though aisles stay open and goods are visible.

The house is an established Pacific Northwest home with water views through tall window walls, oak hardwood floors, a slate tile entry, custom cherry kitchen cabinetry and timber beams. The strongest category is vintage Pendleton wool: at least four blankets and throws, including a Beaver State Robes and Shawls label, a Pendleton Woolen Mills Portland Oregon label, pure virgin wool plaid fringed throws and a striped serape-style blanket. Other good items are a signed Duane Morgan 'Amber Aspen' limited-edition photograph (AP-1, 16x20, with certificate) in a good frame, an orange enameled cast-iron Dutch oven, a Wüsthof-style knife block (the knives themselves are worth a look), and a closet of boxed designer shoes and bags that includes Dior slingbacks, Moncler, Paul Green loafers and Lucchese boots. Beyond those, the furniture is decorator and country in style rather than high-end: a red-painted armoire and sideboard, barnwood and painted-pine cabinets, ladderback chairs, and a worn leather club chair with ottoman and a cognac leather sofa. The kitchen is mostly Pyrex, nonstick bakeware, Vitamix and Breville, with nothing like the All-Clad or Le Creuset suggested in the listing apart from the one Dutch oven. The framed Provençal lavender and olive-grove prints are decorative offset reproductions, and the bookcase holds ordinary trade paperbacks and cookbooks. A sizable collection of Leo R. Smith III resin Christmas and Halloween figures, with numbered certificates and original boxes, is mass-market limited-edition giftware priced at $1 to $10 on plastic folding tables. There are also no tools (the Makita cases are empty) and no hi-fi, and the remaining small lots are ordinary clothing, shoes, a space heater and pressed glass.

The house is a long-lived, builder-grade 1970s home on a wooded lot in the Interlaaken area of Lakewood, WA, listed around $676,900, and the sale fills it thoroughly, with blue-tagged items on nearly every surface. The most distinctive finds are two brass and copper ship's lanterns with a binnacle compass and brass clock, a large stash of vintage quilts including hexagon and Grandmother's Flower Garden patterns, vintage Minolta SRT-style SLRs with lenses, and older planes, saws, files and taps and dies on pegboards. Other pleasant but unremarkable items include Lenox stemware, copper and silverplate, a KitchenAid mixer, green depression glass, Longaberger baskets, a maple and pine case pieces, and a tray of gold-tone jewelry, some of which looked like 10k or 14k, so check the marks before paying for it. Beyond that, the stock is mostly mid-grade: 1970s colonial-style stained furniture, bulk Christmas, Halloween and Easter decor, paperback and book-club books, 1980s-90s consumer stereos, and Craftsman, Sears, Worx and Central Pneumatic tools. The mass-produced oil-style reproduction paintings in ornate frames and the Lladro/Nao-style porcelain figurines priced $70 to $450 are further reasons for caution, as the figurine prices look ambitious. The sewing room and doll collection are sizable but show no real depth. This is a private listing with a below-average track record, and the Sunday discounts of 50% off from 12 to 2 and 75% off from 2 to 4 are the best reason to go.

The photos show no interior at all, only trays, tubs and boxes with cheap table covers and a rural Snohomish yard of rusty equipment, so the house itself can't be judged. The standout is the single-interest depth in lapidary and relics: black trays of loose cabochons (labradorite, tiger's eye, agate, turquoise, opal, jasper), tubs of geodes and rough rock, and large petrified wood and agate slabs hand-labeled as Idaho finds. A glass-top case holds dozens of what look like ancient and medieval bronze items, including fibulae, penannular brooches, buckles, small crosses, an ornate rosette brooch and nine enamelled plaques, which have real curiosity value if priced as dealer stock. The jewelry includes amber, coral and turquoise pieces, but the listing's 'mountain of jewelry' turns out to be mostly a ring card of about 80 silver-tone stone-set rings, which reads as costume. The toys are mainly Kenner-era Star Wars vehicles, boxed Power of the Force figures, McFarlane and Spawn figures and Marvel action figures, and many are loose, yellowed or in crushed boxes. Outdoors there are derelict 1970s Ford cars, a weathered fiberglass boat hull, a compact tractor and old pickups. No furniture, hi-fi, cookware, art or books are visible, and the listing's mentions of cameras and vinyl records are not backed by any photo. The lapidary stock is loose stones and supplies rather than jewelry-making tools. Several photos are blurry or dark, and the private seller's listings have a below-average track record.

The sale is in a late-1990s or 2000s builder-grade tract house in a gated Eugene community, with beige carpet, textured walls and no period detail, so the contents are mostly mid-range with a few older pieces that stand out. The best of them are in the front room: a Danish-style teak sled-base side table with a solid rounded top, mitered loop legs and visible joinery, a Scandinavian-style bouclé lounge chair with solid walnut or teak arms and legs (unmarked in the photos), a Pace-style waterfall glass coffee table with brass trim, and a Curtis Jere-style torch-cut steel and copper wall sculpture. Also worth a look are a Linden Westminster-chime oak mantel clock, an Estey upright piano with bench and sheet music, a signed oil seascape titled "Bandon By the Sea", a set of laminated turned wood bowls, and about 300 jazz, vocal and classical CDs (Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Peggy Lee) in a rack. The kitchen is good for its tier, with a KitchenAid Heavy Duty mixer, vintage turquoise Pyrex Butterprint casseroles, Mikasa Sunny Side and Dansk Cafe Moderne dishes, and some studio pottery. Caution is warranted because most of the furniture is 1980s-90s oak and maple production pieces, and much of the decor is mass-market or collectible-tier: Depression glass, Franciscan Desert Rose, Noritake-style china, a Tiffany-style lamp, clown figurines and a large Christmas collection. The garage holds ordinary Stanley, Craftsman and Makita tools with no serious workshop, and there is no fine art, silver or hi-fi. The sale is tidy, walkable and laid out clearly, and the company's track record runs slightly above average.

The sale is in a small, older bungalow in Silverton, Oregon, likely from the 1920s, with textured plaster walls, painted wood trim, painted kitchen cabinets with old-style pulls and dated green damask wall-to-wall carpet. The house is pleasant but has no standout architecture, and the contents are mostly ordinary household goods. The best pieces are antique: an arched oak mirrored wardrobe with carved panels, a curvy Art Deco waterfall-style mahogany display cabinet, an oval oak mirror and a kidney-shaped wood desk. Hull pottery (including a water lily cornucopia vase), Fiestaware, Pyrex, green Depression glass, blue Delft and Willow transferware are genuine vintage, though they lean nostalgic rather than rare. Shelves of vinyl LPs and a large box of 45s are worth a quick dig, but the CDs number a few hundred at most, and the art supplies, large oil paintings and art-history and drawing books are at a hobbyist scale. Caution is warranted because most of the furniture is painted-white chalk-style pieces, a 1990s oak veneer hutch, a pine sleigh bed and a floral chaise. The listing itself advertises knickknacks and collectibles, and the photos show fairy collector plates, a Little Red Riding Hood teapot, Shiny Brite ornaments, dolls, toys and a lot of Halloween and Christmas decor. There is no sterling (only silverplate), no tools and no named high-end hi-fi, though the clutter level is normal and the sale is easy to shop.

The house is a modest older bungalow, roughly 1920s-50s, with popcorn ceilings, laminate counters, painted cabinets, brightly painted walls and a brick-look fireplace; it has some period touches such as dark stained trim, tongue-and-groove paneling and a built-in oak-front linen cupboard. The contents are mostly decor: well over 100 glazed ceramic figural teapots, probably 1980s-2000s Fitz and Floyd-style novelty pieces with no readable maker marks, plus heavy Christmas and seasonal displays and Elvis, Felix the Cat and Pepsi memorabilia. The best individual pieces are a Hamilton-style burl-front mantel clock with a brass dial, a mahogany lyre-base drop-leaf side table with lion-head pulls, a gilt-framed oil landscape, a red enameled cast-iron Dutch oven and skillet (brand not legible, so check for a Le Creuset mark), and a Wagner-type aluminum roaster. The workshop is a decent but ordinary hobbyist setup: a pegboard of Proto and Crescent wrenches, handsaws, a bench vise, a Stanley-style bench plane, and consumer-grade Craftsman, Ryobi and Black & Decker power tools including a table saw, jointer/planer and band saw. Furniture is largely veneer, laminate and particle board, kitchenware is mostly Corelle-type dishes and nonstick pans, and there is no notable hi-fi, art, rugs, books or silver; records are a stack of 1960s pop LPs and about 100 CDs. On the practical side, the house is full but orderly and everything is priced, with a sewing room and a single Marine Corps service uniform among the miscellany.
