When Pigs Fly Estate Sales & Auctions Presents:
The Black Friday Estate Event of the Year
Five Estates. One Epic Sale.
From the ranchlands of West Texas to the heart of Dallas and the pines of East Texas — five remarkable lives come together in a single, unprecedented event. This Black Friday, we invite you to experience the treasures, the stories, and the style of some of Texas’ most fascinating collectors.
Meet the Estates
1. The Dallas Maven
A Dallas socialite with a passion for couture and fine design. Her collection is a dazzling blend of Chanel, Mulberry, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, and other world-renowned luxury houses — paired with statement art and décor that reflect her love for high fashion and timeless sophistication. Every piece tells the story of soirées, style, and unshakable elegance.
2. The West Texas Visionary
A woman who’s entrepreneurial spirit-built success from the ground up. Her estate features bold Western elegance — western décor, fine jewelry, sterling silver, and artwork that celebrate the rugged beauty of the Lone Star State. A mix of grit, grace, and glamour.
3. The East Texas Collector
Known for her refined taste and adventurous spirit, she curated a home filled with magnificent taxidermy from guided African hunts, exquisite Asian antique porcelains, and museum-worthy furnishings. Her estate bridges continents — a journey of culture, conquest, and craftsmanship.
4. The Modern Muse
An eclectic tastemaker with homes spanning a New York City penthouse and a sprawling Highland Park estate. Her collection is a bold mix of modern art, designer furnishings, and statement décor — a fusion of city sophistication and Texas luxury.
5. The Gentleman of Distinction
A Dallas gentleman with a refined appreciation for beauty and form. His estate features impressive original art, striking bronze statues, sterling serving ware, and stunning crystal — pieces that embody refinement, taste, and legacy.

What You’ll Find
This event features three separate hold areas for small items. Larger pieces—such as furniture, oversized lamps, and large artwork—will remain in place until they are paid for and documented by our team. Once paid, these items may be removed the same day or Monday between 10 AM and 2 PM. Certain larger display pieces may not be removable until later in the sale once space allows.
Our hold, cashier, and packing system is designed for efficiency. New shoppers may find the following guidelines helpful:
- Front Hold Area (by the cashier): For smaller items found in the main hall, rooms, and gallery.
- Jewelry, Designer & Better Smalls Hold Area: Dedicated space for higher-value small items.
- Boutique Hold Area (far southeast): Holds items selected within the boutique.
After placing your items in the appropriate hold area and finishing shopping in that section, a team member will provide you with a sales ticket. Take this ticket to the cashier to pay. Once you have a stamped receipt, return to the corresponding hold area to pick up your items.
For large items remaining on the main floor, a team member will verify payment before you remove the item or arrange for Monday pickup.
If you are purchasing a large grouping—such as a set of china, glassware, or similar—those items may remain in place. A team member will tag the set for you. Please note: you must pay for the items before you begin wrapping or packing.

A sign-up sheet is placed out before 7 a.m. on sale days.
Please sign in — one person per line — to secure your spot. Return to line 15 minutes before opening according to your number placement.
Depending on the sale, we will allow 30–50 persons in at a time, with additional limitations in certain areas.
It’s a good practice to take a photo of the list after you’ve signed in to confirm your position.
2. Pricing & Availability
We do not provide pricing or item availability over the phone or via email.
We do not pre-sell items before the public sale. Please do not ask.
3. Bids & Holds
We gladly accept bids on items priced over $500, with a minimum bid of 50% of the ticket price.
We do not accept bids on items discounted to $500 or more, nor on items discounted below $500.
Please leave your bid and contact information with the cashier.
If you request an item to be marked “Sold” or placed in one of our hold areas, it is considered purchased by you.
All items you ask us to tag “Sold” or “Hold” must be tagged by our team using our tags, and your contact information is required.
These items cannot be removed until your paid receipt is shown to a team member and stamped accordingly.
Depending on the estate event, we may have up to four different hold areas for your convenience.
For items you are certain about, please ask a team member to tag them. Smaller items may be held safely with our attendants while you continue shopping.
