Estate Liquidations

Estate Sales

Many of Old Photo's customers are in charge of liquidating an estate or having an estate sale. They may open a closet and find multiple boxes of 35mm slide carousels. Since most people don't have a 35mm slide projector, the slides, with precious family heirloom memories and family history on them, are destined for the trash barrel. We have heard from numerous people who wished that they had heard of our inexpensive service for transferring the 35mm slide collection left to them from their fathers and mothers or grandparents to a DVD playable slide show that can be copied and shared with all the family members. They tell us that, instead of continuing to store the cumbersome and hard to view slides and carousels, they just tossed them all out. They regretted doing so at the time but just didn't see any alternative and they didn't want to continue to store the slides. Now, after seeing how inexpensive it would have been to take care of this preservation, once and for all, they continue to think of what could have been.

 

Estate Liquidation Firms Or Individuals Liquidating An Estate

If you are an Estate Liquidation Firm or you are having an Estate sale or if you are in charge of liquidating your parent's or someone else's estate, we would like you to consider our company to help the family that you are representing to preserve their family photo history. When you compare the loss of family "roots" and history to the minimal cost of preserving these precious moments in time by letting us digitize the 35mm slides, our service is the best alternative.

Relocating, Moving Or Liquidating A Loved One's Household

Anyone downsizing, relocating, moving out of state, or liquidating a loved ones household has some tough decisions to make when they have to decide about what to do with all those old 35mm slides. We can bet that many of the slides are beginning to deteriorate already and, if they have not been kept in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, they may have mold and mildew on them.

35mm Slides in Kodak Carousels

If the slides are still in Kodak Compatible Carousels, there is no need to remove the slides from the carousels for scanning. We have a device that will take care of that for you at no extra cost to you, as the estate liquidator or the estate liquidation firm. If your slides are in any other container, we will need you to properly prepare them for scanning.

Preserving Other Documents and Media

We not only digitize your 35mm slides, we also digitize 3D Stereo Slides, Paper Photos, Negatives, Medium Format Films, documents such as Birth Certificates, Boarding Passes, Immigration Certificates, Newspaper articles and other memorabilia.

 

How About Preserving Instead of Liquidating?

Maybe you are not working to settle a loved one's estate. Maybe you are just looking to move to a smaller location or you are in a "Spring Cleaning" mood and you want to tidy up that closet or attic. Maybe you want to get those slides and memorabilia preserved before your loved ones make the decision to dispose of your photo collection for you. Maybe you want to do it before the slides deteriorate any further. If it has been years since you last looked at the family collection of 35mm slides, you should do it soon and preserve those slides before it is too late. It is only a matter of time before they fade to clear film.

 

Free Disposal After Digitizing and Approval

As part of our service, since many people do not want their 35mm slides or carousels back after we are done scanning them to digital format and making a DVD playable slide show for them, and making the scans available on the disk for copying to computer or printing, we offer to dispose of their slides and carousels free of charge. Customers always have the option of having their slides and/or carousels returned to them. We never dispose of these items without specific confirmed instructions to do so.
