An estate sale is a method of liquidating the belongings of a household. It involves selling the personal property of an individual who is downsizing, moving, or has passed away. Estate sales are typically held over one or more days and are open to the public.

Estate sales typically involve a larger volume of items, including high-value antiques, collectibles, and household goods. They are professionally organized and marketed to attract a broader audience, including collectors and serious buyers.
