BORONIA LIBRARY - VIDEO 2010

This Blog site is to assist people in Melbourne so they may receive an honest evaluation for their Art & Antiques, I can conduct an evaluation of your Art & Antiques in your home for a flat fee.

Or refer you to a Melbourne Antique Auction House for an honest evaluation charger's may apply for that particular evaluation service, after receiving a professional evaluation you should be able to make a decision, either to sell by Auction or not to sell.

Keep in mind before you sell anything out right or via an Antique Auction you will need to go through this process so you do not make the mistake of selling your items for a fraction of what there worth.

My experience is 99% of the time is a person who has a rare item which are not that easy to value, that person normally does not know who or where to go ? for an honest appraisal.

I can understand why the public can be confused on how or who they need too see relating to an honest evaluation, which their seeking ? let me say this, if you are not familiar with Antique Dealers & the Antique Auction rooms in general, you will come up against many stumbling blocks, so who are you to trust ? and who not to trust ? you all ready have a problem, if you do not understand the Antique trade.

Meaning the rules that some Antique Dealers play by, consider this even if you walk in to a so called reputable Antique business you will be viewed as FRESH MEAT.

This blog site is to help people receive the correct information, I may be able too help you before you make some big mistakes.
