Do estate sales accept other forms of payment besides cash?

In the era we live in, almost all professionally run estate sale companies will allow you to pay with credit cards, but some even offer the options of cash app, Venmo, Zelle, and apple pay. Though we do suggest that it is always a safe bet to have cash on hand when you go to a sale.
