How Much Is It Worth

 
Are you tired of trying to figure out how much your things are
really worth?
    Have you combed through countless flea markets? Waited in more estate sale lines than you care to admit and still end up clueless about how much your Civil War mementos are worth?
    Overpriced shops, outdated price guides and pie-in-the-sky
appraisals don’t seem to be the answer? Is it even possible to come up with the value of your Chinese export porcelain?
    If you’re looking for simple, straightforward talk and actual prices you’ve come to the right place. The answer,  lies in auction sale results.
    The power of buying and selling at auction is really very simple.
    When the bidding stops and the hammer falls, the value of an item is set. The buyer, not the seller, sets the price. This simple distinction cuts through all the chitchat about what art, antiques and collectibles are really worth.
    The bottom line--what is somebody willing to pay you? It’s those hammer prices that make that evaluation.
    In the end you may not bat a thousand, but, you’ll come away with a solid sense of what things are worth in the marketplace.
