Shopper Spotlight
Introducing Rick & Becca. Dog lovers, motorcycle riders, and buyers of vintage electronics (and much more!). We’ve traced our relationship as far back as Empire’s third sale ever. Now, with our 200th estate sale just around the corner, Rick & Becca have been great supporters and even better friends. Thank you guys! UPDATE: We’re at 500 sales, and they’re still some of our favorite people!
Jeff & Debbie are incredibly loyal estate sale shoppers. Jeff is a volunteer firefighter and Debbie is enjoying her recent retirement! Always pleasant, immensely knowledgeable, and present at virtually every one of our sales, they’ve become great friends over the years!
The Empire family lost a very dear friend. Roxanne Woodward was the kindest, most courageous person, and she came to mean so much to us over the years. She loved animals, people, and life in general. Despite facing an incredible illness and endless pain, she never stopped smiling. In fact, she had it harder than most of us, yet she was always the light in the room. She and her husband Woody loved their life together and spent their time enjoying each other and those around them, traveling, and shopping estate sales, of course. Roxanne was a walking miracle and in the end, her illness never really won, because she wouldn’t let it. Her courage and optimism was breathtaking. The love she and Woody shared is an inspiration to all of us. Rest In Peace, Roxanne. You will always be with us.
Mark and Sharon are longtime, loyal Empire customers. They are intelligent, generous, kind people who are an absolute pleasure to do business with. We are so grateful for their support and friendship!
Sue Obercon is one of our very best friends. I can’t even begin to imagine how long ago we met. She was the big raffle winner at our 200th estate sale, which feels like ages ago now! She got us some of our greatest clients, and even came to help clear the house out afterwards. A class act through and through, and always brings so much joy to our sales. Thank you Sue!
Meet Colin and David. The day always gets a little bit brighter when these guys show up. Thank you so much for all of the loyalty, friendship, and smiles!
You couldn’t ask to meet a nicer couple! Damon & Tracy B have been friends of Empire Estate Sales for a long time now. We are so appreciative of you guys!
One of our very best friends and customers (and now team member!), Matt likes vintage electronics, and anything old and unique. Always an absolute pleasure, Matt is one of the big reasons this business is so enjoyable!
We’re so sad to announce the passing of Carlton S. Carlton was a long time shopper who became a dear friend over the years. As getting around became harder for him, he would often pull up a chair near checkout, where we had some wonderful conversations and got to know each other. He had vast knowledge in his area of expertise, and was always so pleasant and professional to deal with. While we only knew him for the last few of his 88 years, it was clear he lived a long and productive life. We miss you already Carlton. Rest In Peace.
MaryKate & Bruce Lasch! You guys are always so friendly and pleasant! Thank you for being such loyal customers and always helping to make our weekends a little bit happier!
A big thank you to Paul & Betsy - two of our most faithful, loyal customers. It’s been years now, and every time it’s always fun!
This is Matthew. He is featured at a gorgeous antique shop called Glenwood Manor in Queensbury (well worth the ride! - open every day 10-5). Matthew has been shopping with us for some years now, and he’s always a true gentleman - fair, honest, and straightforward. We appreciate you so much, Matthew!
Jon C got a killer deal this week. Thank you for shopping with us, Jon!
Great finds are hatching at Empire Estate Sales. Nick and Valerie are the new owners of this fittingly decorated ostrich egg. Let's congratulate the proud new parents!
Truck loads of great sales, every weekend at Empire Estate Sales. Thank you Peter N!
One of the hardest working and most straight forward people we know, say a loud hello to Franklin! A long time overdue, he has been a faithful shopper of Empire almost from the beginning. You’ll know him by his booming voice and unending energy and enthusiasm. He splits time between Albany and his native Dominican Republic, where he has a thriving store and does a lot of work to help the locals. You’re a class act Franklin, we appreciate you so much, and you never fail to make us smile!
Although we don't have a picture of his smiling face, Ed totally deserves to be in our Shopper Spotlight! When he bought this Harley at 9am, it was covered in rusty chrome. By 1pm, he sent us this picture of a beautiful bike given a new life. "Zoom" on in to Empire Estate Sales for some great deals!
This is Chuck. Chuck loaded up on great deals at Empire Estate Sales. Be like Chuck!
It’s rare you’ll ever see Woody without a cup of Stewart’s coffee, or a smile on his face. He’s the kindest person we know. We all love you Woody!
Sharon is a winner! (Both in life, and of $20 Empire Bucks!) Stay tuned for more fun contests!
