More Garage Sales, Goofballs & Good Stuff With Two Sets of Twins- The Pawning Planners…
Every year we get a fairly creative request for a family liquidation. Whether they are moving or giving up a storage unit, these folks are downsizing to save money and often have no idea where to start. Our Mini Me twins aka The Little Pawners LOVE planning an estate liquidation mainly because they always set up a cookie and lemonade stand and greet shoppers. These two are really good at marketing their refreshing drinks and delicious cookies and sell the drinks for 50 cents with cookies at 25 cents and this year they are planning on including brownies at 50 cents each. They spend a lot of time on their signs and who is making change. Maryssa and Makenna love making money and are planning on buying cameras with their earnings.
Last week the Little Pawners joined Cindy and I to an Appraisal Appointment to search for treasure in a garage full of what appeared to be trash. Occasionally we find ourselves in the heart of a hoarder home and the three garages full of discarded items and decorations had my team a little dissapointed. The Pawning Planners & Little Pawners At An Appraisal Appoinmtment video gives you an idea of what we do when looking for items of value. Often, bags of trash are strewn about.
Marketing for an estate liquidation often requires finding a few really nice items to put closest to the curb. We are experts at pricing items at reasonable prices and throwing out items that are not worthy of table space at a sale. Often, I add items from my treasure chest at Refurbished Swaps, Flips & Trades- Texas Twins Treasures to stop traffic with my creatively refurbished items taken in trade in exchange for services at We Take Trades! Submit Yours- The Pawning Planners! Often the items I’ve taken in trade were in horrific condition at the time of the trade but my background in home furnishings gave me insight on buying trends and what shoppers really want (quality, durability and unique design).
We have had so much fun with my family on our adventures in the wedding and events industry together.
My son and his wife handle photography for Texas Twins Events/The Pawning Planners and are planning on helping set up and stage the estate liquidation this weekend.
Robert and Stephanie love Pawning Planners Apparel my latest addition to the Texas Twins Brand that feature #Cindyism RedneckReality or HillbillyHumor type quotes that help fund families who cannot afford to hire us and have nothing of value to trade in exchange for services.
How We Do Things Differently to give anyone (regardless of their income) the opportunity for a Dream Event- I’m contacted frequently about why and how I make Texas Twins Events, Texas Twins Treasures and The Pawning Planners “work” by taking trades that I refurbish and sell to cover expenses and also why I loan wedding bouquets, boutenniers and other items to our clients. Let’s face it- no one in the wedding and events industry does anything for free except me!
