Well, usually professional appraisals are supplied by an appraisal service who has been qualified either through a series of courses supplied through a college or auction house dealing with antiques and collectibles. These appraisers usually scout a certificate that has been recognized by a college certifying that this appraiser is capable of appraising with fair accuracy the real value of the item in question with a 20% market fluctuation in price.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, a renowned antiques dealer who has been known in the business for a reasonable number of years, who has dealt in many areas of antiques collecting and selling, should also be another good source for a realistic and honorable appraisal.<BR/><BR/>Do not go with fly-by-night appraisers who put out a shingle "we do appraisals".<BR/><BR/>Not everyone who sells antiques or collectibles is a qualified appraiser!john hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426029202447042160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13904633.post-76760062136335144052007-05-22T23:42:00.000-05:002007-05-22T23:42:00.000-05:00Without information such as size, type of glass an...Without information such as size, type of glass and photos it is difficult to say how much they might be worth.<BR/><BR/>You might look and see what the same or similar items are selling for online or in the newspaper.<BR/><BR/>You can also ask the potential buyer how much they are willing to pay and if it sounds reasonable to you... go for it.<BR/><BR/>When you get right down to it, an item is worth only as much as someone will pay you for it.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15259837057328898125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13904633.post-52903074570134343962007-05-22T14:52:00.000-05:002007-05-22T14:52:00.000-05:00hi- i have a set of antique stained glass doors. a...hi- i have a set of antique stained glass doors. a woman has taken an interest in buying them. i just don't know how much to sell them to her for. <BR/><BR/>farishdct@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13904633.post-68548568767131209422007-02-25T10:59:00.000-06:002007-02-25T10:59:00.000-06:00i have a 10 peice setting of the gold standard por...i have a 10 peice setting of the gold standard porcelain do you know anyone who would like to purchase contact me at roughneck1975crs@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
