I'm new here, not totally by choice...

Hello everyone, I have inherited many antiques as my mom and grandmother were avid collectors. Lost my mom last year and she had much of my grandmother's collection as well. However, my dad is no longer wanting all these items (they weren't his to begin with) and I just don't have room to keep them all. So, I figured I'd join a forum or two that shares information about antique items. I'm really looking for values and/or new homes for many of the items. I wish I had a house large enough to keep them all but I just don't! I'm not completely sure yet what this forum consist of, but I'm still looking around.

 

Welcome, Debra!

You'll surely have a good time here, and these folks are knowledgeable so you'll learn something with every post.

Are you an eBay seller? That would be one way to reduce the bulk.

Best wishes...Warren

 

Greetings, Debra. So sorry for the loss of your mother, but we hope to help. What kinds of things does your inheritance consist of?

 

Hello Debra!

Condolences on your loss.

Welcome to Antiquers...........

 

Welcome aboard and so sorry for your loss.

 

I have knick-knack collectibles, crystal, furniture and other misc items.

 

Thank you for the condolences! I'm not sure how this site is used, do ppl sell things on here or just get information? I need help with finding the value of items I have, as I don't have a clue and I can't keep everything... If anyone feels like taking the time to share this info with me on the site, I'd greatly appreciate it!

 

if u have the time and patience , get good photo's of your items and post them in the proper Forums ...so the right eyes will see them.

Folks will help inform u of what you have....to the best of our ability.
We are not all here all of the time....and anyone can post comments , so it's a process , rather than a one person appraisal.

We do not do values......but ... members who have the right knowledge will often suggest ballpark estimates, if they know where u are and how you plan on selling your items. These factors count !

We have a Sell Forum that you may use once u have a dozen posts under your belt....but in truth.....not much gets sold there .

there are instructions for posting pics on the forum ....if u are unsure .

just ask...

good luck

ps....take pics like there's no description...
and describe the item.....like there's no pics !!!!

for similar small items..... more than one in a thread is ok... but not to many

titles are important in each thread , to keep track of the items...

" what is this " .... or " how much is this worth " are not good titles..


Help us, to help you !!

 

Welcome! This board is mainly for information. Even the dealers and experts (heh heh) come here with "now what did I buy" posts, and we all started somewhere.

 

Hello, Debra, and welcome! I think you'll get the assistance you need here. Lots of people ready and willing to share their knowledge.

Debora

 

Thank you so much for the information, I truly appreciate you taking time to explain this to me!
