A Star Wars Collector’s Sale in North East
In May 2026, a collection of action figures, books and sealed LEGO sets drew a line of buyers through heavy rain and wind, and the local news came out to film it.
Some sales sell themselves once the right people hear about them. This one was a Star Wars collection in North East: boxed action figures by the hundred, books and sealed LEGO sets, staged across a garage and down the side of the house.
The setup
The garage was staged wall to wall, with boxed figures on racks and LEGO sets stacked where buyers could see the boxes. More tables ran down the side of the house under a canopy, which mattered once the rain came in.
Rain, and a crowd anyway
YourErie.com reported an eager crowd through heavy rain and wind. Buyers lined up on the wet sale morning and browsed the tables under the canopy.
On the news
The local TV news came out to film the sale, and YourErie.com ran the story in May 2026.
What the clients said
Everything was done for me. Great turnout for the sale. Was better than I hoped for. The local TV station even came out and did a story on the sale.

Ran a giant garage sale for me and it went off without a hitch. Great advertising and phenomenal work setting things up and execution of the sale.

Why it worked
A collection sells when it’s laid out so buyers can take it in at a glance, and promoted to the people who collect it. Staging, promotion and running the floor are the whole job; here is how a sale works, step by step.
