Bring cash (some organizers don't accept cards), a tape measure if you're buying furniture, bags or boxes for smaller items, and a phone to look up values. Wear comfortable shoes. Estate sales involve a lot of walking through a home. If you're buying large items, bring a vehicle that can transport them or arrange same-day pickup.

Estate sales are run by professional organizers who price and sell the entire contents of a home, usually over a weekend. Buyers browse the home room by room, select items, and pay at a checkout area. Everything is for sale unless marked otherwise. Prices are set to move. The goal is to clear the estate, not maximize every individual price.
