Durham estate sales rotate through Trinity Park, Forest Hills, Hope Valley, and Watts-Hillandale — a mix of old Duke faculty homes and tobacco-era inventory that draws Triangle-wide dealers. Tobacco Road Downsizing and Blue Moon Estate Sales (Chapel Hill/Durham) are the most consistent operators. Sales here lean academic-eclectic — books, art, and mid-century mix more than Raleigh's traditional inventory.

Yard/garage sales are personal-household castoffs sold cheaply, usually one weekend. Estate sales are full-house liquidations (often after a death or move) with curated higher-value items and sometimes catalogs. Community sales are multi-household events — neighborhood, HOA, church, or block sales. Yardy covers all three plus weekend auctions. We deliberately do not list permanent storefronts like thrift shops or flea-market venues.
