Cari Cucksey is my hero. i've become obsessed with her show (cash & cari) on HGTV.
"Inheriting her mother’s passion for antiques and collectibles, Cari Cucksey, host of HGTV’s Cash & Cari, began buying, selling and trading when she was only 12 years old. Today, with more than 10 years of experience as a professional estate liquidator, she is still on the lookout for hidden treasure as she travels far and wide in search of anything she can flip and restore.
Based near Detroit, Cari owns and operates RePurpose Estate Services, one of the most prominent businesses of its kind in Michigan. Along with her professional team, Cari sets up estate sales right on her clients’ premises and, unearthing everything of value, is committed to making as much money for them as possible."
i would love to have my own business doing this someday...she is so inspiring! Check her out!

cari's tips
Cleaning*
"When you acquire a new item, research it thoroughly before attempting to clean it up. Some furniture is best left untreated by chemical cleaners, whereas others will thrive with a little beeswax and a lot of elbow grease."
"Setting up sales means more than putting all your items on a table and hoping someone will spot them. Group similar colors or pieces together to entice the buyers – and make sure everything is spotless!"
I couldn't agree with her more: "You never know what you’re going to find," Cari says. "Whether it’s memorabilia, collectibles, hidden treasure or just junk — everything was once worth something to somebody, and it can be again."
