Manners Estate Liquidation (MEL) is a trusted provider of fast, profitable, and professionally managed estate sales throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York.

Based in Robbinsville, NJ, MEL is a boutique business with over 35 years of combined industry experience, offering clients top-tier service while ensuring they retain the largest possible share of their estate sale proceeds.

MEL is owned and operated by Michael Manners, who, along with his father Brian, brings both a personal touch and deep professional expertise to every sale. Together, they manage each project hands-on—from initial consultation to final clean-out—ensuring a seamless, respectful, and efficient experience for their clients.

Brian Manners is a seasoned estate liquidation expert with decades of experience in auction houses, antiques, and resale markets. He’s fond of American Arts and Crafts furniture, Native American artifacts, and stained-glass collectibles—areas in which he is recognized as a knowledgeable and discerning collector.

Michael Manners comes from a background in financial consulting sales, combining strategic insight with operational know-how. After years of assisting with estate sales alongside his father, he founded MEL to provide homeowners—especially those looking to downsize—with a more affordable and transparent alternative to the high-commission estate sale firms that dominate the market.

At MEL, we specialize in working with individuals and families transitioning to smaller homes, settling estates, or simply seeking to declutter. We pride ourselves on honest pricing, personalized service, and maximizing value for our clients, all while treating each home and its contents with care and respect. If you’re downsizing or managing a family estate, Manners Estate Liquidation is ready to help you turn a lifetime of possessions into lasting value—quickly, respectfully, and profitably.
