Estate Sale of the Week: Like Majolica? You’ll LOVE this North Dallas Sale

Share News:

MajolicaLike I don’t need one more thing in my home but several bags to take stuff out, but I cannot pass up a good Majolica sale. So head up to 11737 High Forest Drive, just off Forest Lane in between Inwood and Preston. This is not Preston Hollow folks, but who cares?

This is the home of  LaVon Barnes, a lovely woman who was famous for her annual estate sales. One weekend per year she would sell exclusive prototypes from her wholesale company, the Prime Source. Her products were delectable collectibles that you might see on the shelves of Pier One, Tuesday Morning, World Market, Neiman Marcus, JC Penney, or any home decor store. She opened up her 3500 square foot home, built in 1994, up here really just behind me.

Sadly, LaVon lost her battle with cancer and her husband, Jay, with whom she shared her company as well as her home, is getting ready to downsize. We will be watching for the listing. What an honor it would be to write about such a beautiful woman’s gorgeous home.

The sale actually started Thursday, but lasts through Sunday.

    Candy Evans has just put the entire estate sale industry to shame with her full description of what is avaiable.

    Strategy guru Michael Porter would be proud of Candy for her superior execution in signaling, the weak suite of the entire estate sale industry.

    One sale operator thought that my suggestion that she notify the American Pickers/Antique Archaeology people that the antique refrigerator with a globe on top of the box was available. They would have jumped through hoops to buy such an in-demand classic probably for an upper three figure amount.

    I doubt that they were able to sell it for any amount over $100 at just an estate sale exposure.

    My family has recently been facing a finical crisis. We have a big estate with lots of old stuff. Thanks for the tips. I will be looking at other estate sales. I will be using a company to help us.
