Estate Sale Santa Ana - Thur, Fri, Sat

Crazy huge estate sale is Santa Ana.

I received an email for this estate sale. Thought I would share it with everyone in SoCal. I don't see any tikis in the photos, but I would pretty much bet there are tikis in here somewhere. Wish I could go to this thing. Actually, I wish I could go beforehand and wander around it for about 6 hours. Lots of awesome stuff. Click the link below.

It is all about the hunt...I think when I find something it is reeeeaaaallllyyyy special. Looks like in CA they just stop by the thrift store to pick up Tiki Mugs like I stop by the convenience store to get a gallon of milk....:) Not that I wouldn't love to go to this sale.

I think I saw a Radio Shack tube tester in there! And some interesting Mid Century Modern hanging lamps! An old Kayak, a nice Budweiser bar light, some microphones, a Megaphone, three guitars, three accordions, two jukeboxes, and an old Edison cylinder record player!

I might go on Friday Afternoon.

I would kill to go to this sale. Love when there is a house overflowing with crap! So much you can find that is hiding away.

There is tons of bakelite radios--Hawaiian decanters and freakin amazing glassware just from what I can see in the picture.

I go to Estate Sales almost every weekend and when one like this comes along its a goldmine!

Ain't it great when people croak?
:lol:
Man!
This is too close to the studio to NOT go!

"Thousands of Books/Hundreds of Pictures and Paintings/Hundreds of Old Alcohol Decanters/Hundreds of Old Books/Hundreds of Boxes Full of Stuff"

OH YEeeeeeeeeAH!

Holy Mother! I just had a flash back to cleaning out my grandmother's place when she died. It took 6 of us a week to go through everything. We took home the stuff we wanted to keep and there was still enough for a ginormous estate sale. That is a lifetime of pack-rattery there. It gives me the willies just lookin at it!

Hey people. I'm the guy who's running this sale. I first found out about this site by selling a couple a set of big bamboo furniture at an Estate Sale in Riverside. There's a few tiki mugs in this sale and a few other cool tiki related things. There's also some great LPs and other tiki type stuff buried in there. This is the biggest sale I ever did.

TThe Edison cylinder record player is actually a Edison cylinder recorder.

Do you have a picture of it?

I'm not an estate sale person, but this was 4 miles from my house, so I went this morning out of sheer curiosity. I got there at 7:45 and there was already a line down the sidewalk. They had a "sign-in" sheet going down the queue, and I was #65. There were quite a few people behind me. Once they opened, they pretty much just opened the door and let everyone in, boxes, carts, and all. Which made it pretty cramped as it's a small house. I have to say, for the most part, people are very polite for being smashed together like that.

Again, I'm not estate sale knowledgeable, but here's my "tiki take" on it...

freddie mentioned "Mid-Century Modern lamps". Those were gone in two seconds. All of them. Guy knew what he was looking for. Was that you freddie? :)

TikiPaka: From what I saw, there was a small stack of postcards, but nothing vintage Hawaiian or Tiki.

Leleliz: Lots of decanters, for sure. But none Hawaiian. For as many decanters as there were, I was surprised that they didn't have swizzle sticks, or matchbooks, etc. Definitely a lot of glassware as you mentioned.

There were tons of books, records, and old films on reels. However, they were being carted away by the box and cartload by book/record brokers. There's still a ton, but I just didn't have the time, or the elbow room, to go through them.

Here's a picture of what I walked away with, which by the way, was literally nothing compared to the tons of people there with bags, boxes, etc. Just me, my two mugs, and a jolly menehune. Who, by the way, I'm willing to send to someone (consider it a gift) if they'd like to give him a happy tiki hale to live in (and not sell him) PM me. If anyone else goes, I'd love to hear their take on it!

Oh..and TikiShaker, mahalo for sharing the info!

TikiShopPua!

was gonna pop by there tomorrow but it was gonna be for books
but i know where there's a 99¢ bookstore the size of a Safeway
where everything really is 99¢!
no crowds...no lines...
Hit me up at the Nooner
and i'll give you directions...

You missed the tiki decanter with the woman under the palm tree. I guess someone got that. It was in the dining room corner. The mid century lamps ( I guess you are talking about the cool cream color ones outside?)were taken but two were still there as of 4pm when I left.

There's about 800 books left and about 5,000 records. Tomorrow won't be so crowded.
