Bought this pillow at the Belair estate sale today. There is nothing wrong with World Market, but when the cashiers tell you that these come from home of a celebrity and that we shouldn’t try to negotiate the price, one can’t help but feel ripped off I also saw a table that they said was from Morocco for $140 only to flip it upside down and see a Ross sticker for $34. They then proceeded to have the nerve to tell me that they cannot sell me a stained and ripped coverlet for $25 nor a fitted sheet for $20 because it was never used and priced originally for $120. Who knows how long it has been “new” in the package. Maybe ten years? Who knows. They are rude. Don’t bother going unless you want to wait hours before getting ripped off

My father-in-law, LtCol Hiller, was stationed in pre-communist China and collected a considerable quantity of quality Asian art, which his daughter and subsequently his grandchildren (my children) inherited, but did want.

California Estate Sales and Auction Company's owner had Asian market knowledge and connections, was supported by an efficient and professional staff, and all items were sold for top dollar.

I'd recommend California Estate Sales to anyone with high-end furniture, art and collectables for sale.

I had a great experience with this company. My fiancé and I were moving out to start a remodel and needed to get rid of our furniture. Not only did they sell our furniture, they sold EVERYTHING we wanted to get rid of. They staged the house perfectly with all of our furniture, clothes, dishes, kitchen ware, anything that could sell & everything was priced to our expectations. We ended up selling way more then expected and making thousands more then expected. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to clear out a home. They left it spotless at the end and donated everything that didn't sell. High class experience.

This is a fantastic company. Catherine and her whole crew did an amazing job from start to finish.
They were extremely sensitive in helping me close this chapter of my life. It was a really sad process to go through but leaving everything in their hands with their professionalism was the best decision. They did such a great job and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Many many thanks for everything. Heidi

I'm very, very impressed with California Estate Sales. Great responsiveness to all my questions. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about all categories of collectibles, provides exceptional attention to detail and did a fantastic job in marketing, promotion, and auction.

Our family's situation was complicated, and we had a lot of premium items to deal with. I'm convinced California Estate Sales helped us realize full value for our most prized possessions. It's not just the money...they brought grace, good humor, and lightness to the whole process. It's a pleasure to recommend this company with highest confidence.

I had a wonderful experience at the Yevette Mimieux Sale-even though I was the last in the gate on Friday. After a long day of customers rampaging throughout (to be expected when looking for a bargain) the team was ready to pack it up for the day. Even so, Matt couldn't have been more friendly and willing to help. I went back the next day to purchase many items and couldn't have been more impressed with the patience and professionallism on display. Running these sales isn't easy or for the faint of heart-nor should it be. That's Business!
However, if some of the customers were a bit nicer they might find the experience can be enjoyable for all. Thx California Estate Team-I'm looking forward to your next sale!

California Estate Sales is as good as it gets. This was my second go round using an estate sales company. CES blows the competition out of the water. Our family's home sold much quicker than expected and we had the daunting task of selling majority of our goods as we were significantly downsizing and very little time to do it. Catherine and her team were efficient, knowledgeable, and professional from beginning to end. She was able to sell our fine art and high end home furnishings for above our expectations. This company follows through with their promise to make closing dates happen. Thank you California Estate Sales

Worst experience ever! I had to tag my own items, bring buyers to my home, bring my items up from my garage. I was not given any information as to what was sold and for what price. As the ad states the items that did not sell would be liquidated by Catherine. I am still looking at my items with tags on them! They just left. My home was left in complete disarray, carpets and hard wood flooring filthy. Nothing that was brought up from garage was put back. When I followed up I was informed who to call to liquidate my items. Staff was late, or didn't show up at all. Was text by Catherine's "general manager in training", asking me what kind of drugs I was taking! Extremely rude and unprofessional. I had my personal belongings stolen! I am not a disgruntled client ... Simply sharing my experience.
