What's It Worth?
The true value of an item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it on a particular day.
As an antique dealer, I use the average of what an item sells for to determine the amount I can offer.
Normally, I get called to an estate and potential clients show me a bunch of things.
I can let people know the value of certain items right away. I do additional research on other items after I see them and I can usually have a very good idea what your items are worth in a few hours after our meeting.
I typically offer about 60% of the value of what I think your items are worth.
Sometimes you might have a special item, such as an original oil painting by a famous painter or a valuable piece of pottery or glassware or maybe a Tiffany Lamp. I may want to purchase those items directly from you for a very fair offer, or I can help you research and sell those items through an established auction house. Some items sell better than others in certain areas of the country or World, and part of the help I can offer includes recommending how you may sell your item for the highest possible price.
Last but not least, I can assure you that I am an upstanding, educated and trustworthy individual. I truly love what I do and want to change the idea of what some perceive as the average antique dealer.
