Auction Consignment ~
We offer auction services for one item
or an entire estate. In many cases we can come to your location to evaluate
your individual situation. No job is too small, too large or too complex. We
utilize the internet as well as traditional methods of advertising such as
local and regional newspapers, personal mailing lists, flyers and good old
fashioned word of mouth. We also utilize auctionzip and proxibid in an effort
to get your consignments the most exposure possible.

Online Auction Consignment ~
We also sell items for clients through online forums
such as ebay, gunbroker and many other specialized collector
sites. Whenever we evaluate an item for resale we try to decide
which theatre it will sell best in. Many items are so specialized
they may be missed in a large live auction but when sold to a
group of interested collectors the "fair market price" is
reached.
~ Out-right Purchase ~
In many situations a client will want
to forgo the auction method because of a need for immediate cash. We will buy
one or two pieces, a collection or an entire estate.
~ Dealer Spaces ~
The antique shop occasionally has rental spaces
available to dealers from an entire room to a counter top display case. In
addition to shop space we also rent spaces at our bi-monthly flea markets for
$20.00 a space. Space is limited and is on a first come first serve basis.
Please contact our location for current openings.
~ Specific Item Location ~
Our dealers really get around! If you
have a specific item or group of items that you are looking for and cannot
find it in our retail store, we have a great group of friends that can help.
They go to more yard sales, flea markets, antique shows and auctions each week
then most people go to in a year and they would be glad to keep an eye out
for your treasures. Just contact our location to discuss your wish list.
~ Auction Estimates ~
In many situations it is necessary to obtain
the value of an item(s) and it is our job to obtain an honest value for our
customers. We, as dealers for resale can rarely pay market price for items
but it
is our ethical intention to inform clients of the true value of their items.
