<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ruskoinabiscuit, post: 4190353, member: 17402&quot;]Hi, I have a sword collection with around 20 pieces in it. Over a decade ago it was said to be appraised hovering around 25k. I did have two swords appraised by an antique roadshow sword expert and he said the two I showed were worth $800 a piece (like 4-5 years ago). I have found a local certified appraiser but they said it&#039;s going to be around 500-800 to get the collection appraised. Is this too much? They have options (not guarantees) to sell it via an auction. I&#039;ve heard of other big auction houses like cristies, but I&#039;m not sure how the expected value of the set would be considered. What is the best way to go about this? Should I pay to get it appraised then go through their options (if available) or try to go through another route? I just don&#039;t want to get taken advantage of but I&#039;ve never sold anything or this magnitude. Thanks in advanced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
