Rachel Stillman arrived at an estate sale and walked into a generational standoff.

Five men in their 20s, hunting for vintage tees to resell, were bickering with an older group over who had earned the first spot in line. When the doors of the west Philadelphia home finally opened after a three-hour stare-down, the resellers crowded around the organizer until she waved them inside.

They burst in, sweeping armfuls of clothes into large IKEA bags, barely stopping to see what they had grabbed. By the time Stillman crossed the threshold, the racks were picked clean.

“Some of them really do just disrespect women, disrespeat people who have been doing this much longer,” said Stillman, 25, owner of a vintage shop in Philadelphia.

Fueled by a booming resale market, the estate sale has morphed from a leisurely weekend outing into an elbows-up affair.

In the 21st century, the sales are prompted by what Julie Hall, former director of the American Society of Estate Liquidators, calls the four Ds: death, debt, downsizing and divorce. The circumstances are somber, the spectacles they create are anything but.

Justin Cage and Keri Sansevere, who run an estate-sale business, regularly wrangle shoppers high on the adrenaline of scoring a bargain.

“Human decency goes out the window because there is such a heightened emotional state,” Sansevere said, noting a customer once spit on another over a set of silver and another ripped a bag of toilet paper out of another shopper’s hands.
