Dear Rose and Lin,
On behalf of my sister and brothers, we would like to thank you for helping us
with selling the contents of my parent’s home.
The home had 54 years of memories and my father was a collector
of EVERYTHING! You ladies were very understanding and sensitive to our situation.
We were totally amazed how well
you organized and displayed our family treasures!
WOW!
The sale was well publicized and appeared to be very well
attended! You did all the work and reaped the rewards!
Thanks again for a wonder job! We will definitely recommend you
to anyone we know in a similar situation!
It was a pleasure doing business with you. |

Rose, Lin & Husbands,
Thank you so much for our recent sale at 16-08 Saddle River Road! I couldn't
have imagined how successful it would have been and it was all because of 'Dusty Old Bags'! When my mother-in-law
became the executor of the estate of a dear friend, she was left with the daunting task of sorting through 50 years of papers,
household items and personal effects. We were definitely 'the retro 1960's estate'. It was an overwhelming
task Then, I found your website - what a God send! We met with Rose, signed a contract and our worries were over.
Dusty Old Bags handled everything from that moment on! Rose, Lin and their crew came in and sorted through 50 years
worth of bags, boxes, drawers and closets. They organized and tagged too many items to count! I couldn't imagine
how they were going to display everything but was so pleasantly surprised when I saw the house before the sale. It was neat,
orderly and amazingly, most of the contents were displayed for the customers to view. On the day of the sale, Rose,Lin and
their husbands were terrific! They worked hard to get the most money for the items - often times refusing to take less
then was tagged! The husbands, Bill and Vic, helped to carry out heavy items, rearrange items in the house and even took down
a light fixture that we had forgotten to do. They all went above and beyond! They have a large following of customers as I
heard many say "I'll see you next week." Lin and Rose are such personal ladies...we even found time to
sit and chat about our families!. Besides being such hard workers and advocates for us, they were also so caring in regard
to my mother-in-law's feelings with the passing of her dear friend. When I first contacted Rose, she made sure to ask
me if my mother-in-law "was ready" in regard to her grief to go through with the sale and then, when they were going
through the items in the house, they found some old pictures and other more personal items and put them aside - making sure
to treat us in such a compassionate way. I can't say enough about "Dusty Old Bags"! Their hard work, dedication
to their customers and their kind, caring personalities make them worth their weight in gold! |

"Rose and Lin:
My family and I want to say "thank you" for all your hard work.
And please express our thanks to your husbands for their assistance as well.
My grandmother's house
had over 60 years of memories to sort through, but you made the whole process of sorting and selling smooth and painless.
Very pleased with the results of the sale! |

Dusty Old Bags was an answer to our prayers. My mothers home was filled with 60 years worth of memories.
We were overwhelmed. Lin & Rose with their husbands came in and organized, priced, and executed a flawless Estate Sale.
An example of their dedication was the fact that Lin had a pacemaker put in three days prior to the
sale and still
worked the event over the weekend. I couldn't beleive it! This was all done with a good natured
attitude and a sensitivity
to the emotional turmoil that is involved in such an event. I and my family recommend
Dusty Old Bags without reservation.

Dear Lin, Rose, Bill & Vic
My brothers, our spouses, and I want to say "thank you" for all your good work and excellent advice. Forced with
the daunting task of clearing my parents' house after my father's death, it was a real "miracle" that we
discovered you on the Internet. The first time we met with Rose & Lin, we were sure that the job would be done right.
It was comforting to listen to your "how-to" and to just relax and let you deal with the clutter. My parents never
threw anything away in the 60 years they were married, and some items had been moved several times and the boxes never opened!
We weren't sure what was in them. To your credit, you laid out all the items, priced them according to your experience,
and even went the extra mile to take the time to research those "special" items that you weren't sure about.
The 3 days of the sale went off without a hitch and you all were troopers in getting stuff sold and moved out the door.
We couldn't have asked for a better outcome. You also showed great patience with a few family members who thought
they were entitled to much more than they were. You handled the situation calmly and professionally. Again, accept
our eternal gratitude and a very big "THANK YOU" to all of you for a job well done.
We will be recommending
you to all our friends who encounter similar situations!

Dear Rose and Lin,
I thank you and your team very much
for your professional assistance in running this sale. I give you a lot of credit for your honesty and integrity.
You
really made me feel comfortable and I couldn't be happier with the end results. You can always keep my phone number and
use me as a reference, especially for a potential client who is out of town and will need assurance of your great ethics.

Dear Rose and Lin,
We want to thank you for the wonderful
job you did for us. The thought of trying to sort through and empty our ninety-year old mother's house was overwhelming.
You two (and your husbands) made all the difference in the world. The amount of time you spent organizing and pricing every
item in that house was amazing. We also appreciated that you handled every part of the job from pricing to selling and
settling.
You were honest, hard-working and fun to deal with.Thanks for making one big job a lot simpler for us.

Dear Rose & Lin & your long-suffering wonderful
husbands—
What a great job you did for us!
Downsizing is far more traumatic than we ever anticipated. The
amount of stuff accumulated over 30+ years by a hoarder and a collector is beyond belief.
You were recommended by the
designer who staged our house, and we are grateful to her for the referral and eagerly telling all our baby boomer friends
about your fantastic services. You love what you do, and we love how you do it. Everything was so well organized and displayed
that people couldn’t stop themselves from buying. We were impressed with the number of buyers you brought in. You obviously
know all the tricks for the widest possible publicity on a sale.
Best of all, you took the pain out of the whole business
and brought laughter into our home.
For that we can’t thank you enough.

I was totally overwhelmed at the prospect of organizing
my parents’ 50-plus years of collected clutter. I knew I needed major help and looked online to call in the cavalry.
When I saw the Dusty Old Bags website I knew they were just the women I needed! I was so relieved when Rose met me at
the house and agreed to take on the job. They waved their magic wands and turned a jumbled mess of packed closets into an
organized house that looked like an antiques shop complete with jewelry display cases. Their honesty is to be commended. My
mother was great at hiding valuables and I thought I had found them all, including money hidden in her shoeboxes. I received
a call from Rose & Lin to tell me that they had come across an envelope filled with $10,000 worth of savings bonds that
my mother had stashed in a drawer in an extra bedroom. I am grateful for their thoroughness and integrity, as I had missed
the envelope when I went through that dresser.
The Dusty Old Men are great as well – having to pitch in and clear
ice that had blocked the walkway before the morning of the sale. Their mailing list attracts serious buyers who lined up way
before 9 am. Before the sale, they did extensive research to make sure the antique glassware was priced appropriately. Thank
goodness they did the selling for me as I would have come down to a lower price just to see things go out the door.
My
picture shows me smiling, and it is a smile of relief. Before the Dusty Old Bags, I felt I might never empty the house, let
alone get it on the market. The pressure was oppressive as my parents need the proceeds to fund their long term care costs.
Now with most of the items gone and a nice profit made, the rest is doable.
Thank you so much Dusty Old Bags! You truly
do go above and beyond to help your clients!
Sincerely, Susan |

Well, there we were. Distraught and left with a house of items that were collected over my
brother's lifetime.
We had never had any experience with Estate Sales. I went on the website and found
Dusty Old Bags. I called and was guided through the process on how it all works. Shortly thereafter, Rose
came by to see what we had. The sale was advertised and Dusty Old Bags were working hard at organizing and tagging every
item in the house and posting pictures on their website. Although it is an emotional time, I can't tell you
what a pleasure it was working with a group of people who were sensitive to our feelings and helped us get the house
pretty well cleared out in 2 days. They are organized, fast and honest about what they do. It is pretty amazing
the amount of people they get to come to their sales. I'm sure that is because of their wonderful personalities
and business sense. They really are professionals. I enjoyed working with them a great deal. We would absolutely
recommend them as your "go to" people for selling home contents.
We would most definitely call them
again and pass their number along to friends who may have a need. You will not be disappointed.
We sincerely
thank Dusty Old Bags for their sympathy, understanding, professionalism and for coming and accomplishing what seemed
almost hopeless to do by ourselves.
If you need a hand, call them.

Dear Lin and Rose,
Thank you so much for doing such
a thorough, professional and successful job on our estate sale. My wife and I gazed in amazement when we saw the house transformed
into a high-end antiques shop! You displayed all of the merchandise with such love and care that we were not the least bit
surprised when you let us know how successful the actual sale turned out to be.
What’s more, you two ladies were
such a pleasure to deal with that you made the whole process a pleasant adventure rather than a tedious chore! Every detail
was handled with care. You communicated with us every step of the way. You worked so hard and really “delivered the
goods.” You even sold our second car! I would recommend you to anyone who needed the services of a top-notch estate
sale planning and implementation team.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Regards,
Bill & Helen

I wish to respond with some words of recommendations which you may use/forward to other prospective clients.
Dusty Old Bags was recommended to me by another Realtor. I was told that Dusty Old Bags would come in the home, evaluate
the personal property, and submit an estimate of what they believed could be realized from a sale. We met, surveyed
the household items, and discussed the possibilities. We agreed on a date, the value of items, and areas of responsibilities.
True to their word, the ladies came in and tagged every item (hundreds) and arranged them in a presentable fashion.
The sale dates came and the results were exactly what we expected. Dusty Old Bags was excellent; professional, honest,
and efficient.
I would recommend them to anyone wishing to liguidate an estate.
Sincerely,
Kevin
