Have you ever walked into a house and felt like you just stepped into a Wes Anderson movie set?  It takes a special kind of magic - from the landscaping, the layout & design, and most importantly, the contents - to achieve such a feat, and we’ve only run across it a couple times thus far.  Every item - even the mundane, functional items needed for everyday existence, are curated for their aesthetics.  Toothbrush?  It’s bamboo...It stands out.  Stapler?  It’s just like the one Grandma used to have.  Lamps?  There’s a story to them.  Carpet?  It’s a conversation piece.  The main thing that stands out, though, is the lack of uniformity...it’s eclectic.  Styles come and go - buy everything from one store and inevitably be behind the curve in less than six months.  Instead, a home should be a hodge podge of the owner’s dreams, experiences, hopes, and aspirations.  Start decorating with things that really speak to you, things that have an element of your own history, future, or personality.  Your home will be interesting, and better yet, it’ll be YOURS.  Be your own inspiration!  The lovely people who resided in this amazing house did just that - and it shows - their house is the perfect tribute to their life.  He spent his career as the main sportscaster for Channel 7 (WHIO), and she was the President of the Antique Collector’s Club for what appears to be a good many years.  As you peruse the premises, you will see their passions and livelihoods melded together and reflected in their home.  How cool is that.  It’s a heck of a goal.  Take a look at this house -see if anything speaks to you....It’s never too late to start.  

A note: we do not reveal prices before the sale opening, we do not pre-sell, and we cannot hold any items, unfortunately.  The address for the sale will be updated on www.principalestatesales.com, all websites, our facebook page, and in the craigslist ad on Friday morning.  Please address any questions/comments in person at the sale.  If you are trying to contact us in regards to these items prior to the sale, we will try our best to get back to you, but our first priority is hosting a quality event (texting is recommended).  Please see below for information regarding entrance numbers and sale procedures.

>>>Terms and Conditions:<<<

~~>>>ENTER THIS PREMISES AT YOUR OWN RISK.  PRINCIPAL ESTATE SALES NOR THE HOMEOWNER ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR INJURY, LOSS OR DAMAGES TO PROPERTY, VEHICLES OR PERSONS.<<<~~

***ENTRY: To prevent excess wear and tear and/or damage to the residence, a maximum of 18 people will be permitted inside at any given time. As people exit, the capacity will be kept at that amount, and usually waiting time is minimal. ENTRY NUMBERS:  A sign in list will be posted on the front door of the premises! Directions will be printed on the list, and we expect you will behave in a fair and dignified manner with regard to the self regulating nature of this process. If you are not present when your name is called, you will be bumped to the back of the line.

***PAYMENT for items may be made via cash or credit card. An additional 3% convenience fee will be added to credit card purchases, and proper ID is required in addition to signing a statement regarding chargebacks.

***ALL SALES FINAL.  ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS.  WE DO NOT ISSUE REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES.

***BRING HELP TO LOAD ITEMS.  We do not offer moving services for large items.  We do, however, have a company we can refer you to - ask us for their card!  All items must be removed by 4pm Sunday, unless other arrangements are made PRIOR to purchase.

***BE RESPECTFUL, COURTEOUS, USE COMMON SENSE.  ANY VIOLATION WILL RESULT IN REMOVAL.  Principal Estate Sales, nor the homeowner, is not liable for any falls, injuries, and/or accidents incurred on premises.

***OFFER BOX:  Take note of our offer box, which will be stationed near the entrance/exit. You may leave an offer on any item.  PLEASE NOTE:  An offer is a legally binding contract.  We work with the local District Attorney to prosecute those who renege on any and all offers.

***HOLDING STATION:  If you start a pile, you are required to purchase EVERY item in it.  Your pile is ALL OR NOTHING.  It is unfair to other customers, and our clients, if you pull an item from the sale, only to put it back - we have then missed multiple opportunities to sell it.

***PARKING:  Please park legally and respectfully at all times. ROADSIDE PARKING ONLY, please do not park in driveway as that is reserved for people moving and picking up large items. PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE GRASS, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Principal Estate Sales, nor the homeowner, is not liable for any tickets, fines, or accidents you may incur as a result of parking.

***CHILDREN must be DIRECTLY supervised at all times.  No exceptions.  The risk of them being hurt is too great.  Any unsupervised children and their guardian will be immediately escorted off premises.  

***Any and all admittance into our estate sales is at the sole discretion of the sale director, and may be revoked at any time, for any reason.
