"In the midst of a pandemic, when everything could have gone so wrong with my tag sale,
Madeline’s professionalism and grace under pressure took over, making everything absolutely right! She expeditiously switched gears from an “in house” tag sale to an “on line” auction while under quarantine. I watched her and her husband Bob work tirelessly and meticulously through the intricacies of posting items for a full house, on-line auction. She not only sold just about everything, she made us a wonderful profit too! Hands down..the best professional service I have ever had!"

"From start to finish Madeline and her team were a pleasure to work with. She also has an incredible network of dealers - we actually had one dealer who arrived the night before and slept in his car. The sale was a big success. We had a lot less work, and made a lot more money, than we ever expected."

"Madeline, her husband and the staff were excellent to work with. I had my tag sale this weekend and am thrilled the way they conducted it from beginning to end. The set up was excellent and the staff that ran the sale was excellent. We had a huge turnout and we are very happy with the results. I would definitely use her company again if the situation arises."

"Madeline - Closed the house today.
Thanks so much for all your hard work and real results! Your suggestions and referrals especially Leible were outstanding. And the tag sale was a success - not to mention the sale of a used car and an engagement ring! And the pool table and the piano (Buyer brought a bank check and was so appreciative that I left the framed TV) He is now selling his house in New Hyde Park so you may want to congratulate him. Regards to Bob and the whole Full of Surprizes team. Please feel free to use me as a reference. Your good reputation really does precede you and you came through in so many ways. Kind regards"

We recommend them enthusiastically and without reservation."

"I highly recommend Full of Surprizes as I have attended lots of their sales and found this company to be the best in the industry. Madeline, her husband and staff are very friendly and run a well organized sale. Their sales are always of the best quality. Anytime you go to a sale run by Full of Surprizes you can expect to be treated professionally and fairly. In my opinion, the best estate experience ever, they make you feel like a valued customer and not an intruder. Kudos Full of Surprizes keep up the great work. "

John Mckinney

"Just completed my estate and tag sale run by Madeline and her team. I am overwhelmingly satisfied with the entire process. I never had a tag sale before so I didn’t know what to expect. Madline’s professionalism and expertise guided me from beginning to end. Would definitely recommend this company and have already passed her information to my real estate broker. Thank you Madeline!!!"

"Stumbled upon Madeline and her team late one hot Saturday afternoon. Even though it was 3:30 and the sale was over at 4, her team was helpful, still had a sense of humor, and treated me with the utmost respect (although I was dressed like a slob to be honest). Madeline is an absolute pleasure to do business with and she has a fantastic team she works with. One lady on her team in particular (I wish I knew her name) was great to work with although they were set to close, helped me make a wonderful purchase and stunning addition to my dining room. The quality of the merchandise at this sale far exceeds the merchandise peddled by other estate sale organizers on Long Island. These were exceptional items and the prices asked were fair. Everything was clearly marked with the price, and laid out for easy access. In addition, the items were clean. I have been to other Long Island firms tag sales that have rude and disinterested staff. THIS IS FAR FROM THE CASE WITH MADELINE AND HER TEAM. One member of her team actually offered to pack my one large item, and another opened the front door to help me out. Overall a fantastic experience, a truly beautiful purchase, and I will go back for their next sale. Kudos to Madeline, Robert and the nicest lady who helped me."

Dave Laibach

She was professional, knew how reach the right buyers, thorough, and most importantly successful. Customers returning to pick up their new possessions had such nice things to say about our sale. I highly recommend Full of Surprizes. Thank you Madeline."
