Unlock the Secrets of Your Antiques: A Must-Have Guide for Every Executor and Downsizer

Do you have a house full of antiques or heirlooms you’ve been meaning to evaluate but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’re helping a loved one downsize and want to ensure their treasures get the care and value they deserve.

If that’s the case the Antique Help Book is your go-to resource for navigating the often-confusing world of antique resale with confidence.

This comprehensive guide is packed with practical advice and real-world stories to help you uncover the hidden value of your antiques. Inside, you’ll find chapters covering:

  • How to research resale value: Learn where to look online and offline to determine what your items are truly worth.
  • When to let go: Understand which items have significant resale potential, and which ones are better left behind.
  • Selling strategies: Discover when to auction your antiques, when to work with a specialist, and when to go directly to an antique dealer.
  • Realistic valuation tools: Find out how to accurately evaluate your items, whether for yourself or a loved one’s estate.
  • Negotiation tips: Learn how to work with antique dealers to ensure you get the best deal possible.

And there’s more!

The book is filled with real-life stories from the trenches of the antique world and I’m confident these situations will both educate and entertain. Plus, I also include tools and resources to help you implement the lessons learned, making it a practical and hands-on guide for both seasoned collectors and those just starting out.
