Treasures On Townsend — Local services in Midland

Yes terribly over-priced and unreasonable too. the owner gets frustrated at entertaining any type of discount. She gets the last word or you're out. Keep doing business that way, you wont be around long. Usually a polite NO will suffice. I love being at a tag sale when the sellers want to educate you on what something cost in the store brand new when they're selling it to you used, especially when it comes to textiles.

I don't know where you think your stuff cost that much money regardless of what it cost new, you can go to TJ Maxx and buy just about anything at discount-NEW! I wouldn't even give them one star but I don't think I can give them zero stars. I think the idea of an estate sales to clear out not pack it up again. That's okay she saved me from spending about $25 that I was going to spend on an Impulse buy anyway. Didnt...

I had to sell my Mom's house fast, and Bernadette and her staff were lifesavers. They are so professional, knowledgable and sympathetic. This is a really tardy review but I will be forever grateful for their help. Oh, and they were quite fun, which is important when you're disposing of your childhood home. Thank you ladies - you...
