  • Do you buy or consign antiques?

    Yes - we do both. We buy things from postcards to furniture. We also consider consignment for the right items but often prefer to buy items outright if we can agree on price. Some items may qualify for us to sell your item online. The criteria for that varies, but starts with a minimum value of $100. Commissions vary depending on shipping vs. pickup and other specifications needed to sell the item.

  • We have items to sell. What is the best way to go about doing this?

    * We ask that you give us a phone call or email so that we are able to set up an appointment with you.


    * We like to see items prior to you bringing them in. Photographs are most helpful and can be shared by email or text.


    * Appointments are preferred to walk-ins and we ask that you please consider our time with the quantity you bring in.


    * Please bring your items cleaned and with a general idea of how much you would like for them, any research that you do will impact what we pay for items.


    * The more you can find out about your items, the better.


    * It's always suggested that you put together a small box or two at a time. We love buying in small lots.

  • Do you buy china / dishes?

    Yes, we need to see the pattern and who the maker is. China is difficult to sell and that is a big factor into our decision.

  • I have some very old things that were left to me, do they have value?

    Value vs valuable, most things have value that doesn't make them valuable. Age does NOT determine value. Collectibility or the market determines this. You may have Grandma's 1800's dishes, but if today's buyers aren't educated and value those items, their age doesn't matter. Value is FIRST determined by 'will somebody buy this'. If you have doubts, ask. But if these items are chipped or cracked, they hold little to no value and we suggest donation. We are not interested in clear or milk glass.

  • My Grandmother has some really old things for sale so they must be valuable aren't they?

    No. Age does NOT determine value. Collectibility or the market determines this. You may have Grandma's 1800's dishes, but if today's buyers aren't educated and value those items, their age doesn't matter. Value is FIRST determined by 'will somebody buy this'. If you have doubts, ask. But if these items are chipped or cracked, they hold little to no value and we suggest donation.

  • Do you Appraise Antiques?

    We are not professional appraisers. Professional appraisers are certified and can give values for insurance companies. We may be able to help you determine approximate retail value. However, these values are fluid just as the market is. Their may be a small fee if you require a lot of assistance and are not looking to actually sell your item.

  • Do you rent Space?

    Yes we do. We have an Estate Room that is designed for customers who are downsizing. This room is limited to rent for 1-2 months. However, if you are a professional dealer, and would like to rent space and be part of our team, you can check with us and be put on a list if space is available. We also rent showcases or sections of showcases.

  • Can we return an item?

    No. Because of the nature of our unique items, and multiple dealers and consignors that are paid for their items promptly, we do not accept returns.
