What's It Worth....................Really?
<p>
<b>Everyday I get someone who comes to me with a photo of an antique – along with a story about how they have this piece and it belonged to their gramma or parents or aunt and they just know it is worth a lot of money. The truth is the value of antiques have gone way down. Its not the economy – its not the internet – its the younger generation. They don’t want it! Can you imagine going to a young person’s home for dinner and having the table set with Noritake china and sterling silver flatware – and drinking the bottled water out of Waterford crystal glass? That’s not a “put down” or negative review about our young generation – its simply the way it is. These kids are back into making things out of wood pallets and finding a piece of furniture for $5.00 – getting some chalk paint and giving it a whole new look! Their look! And I applaud them (and love a lot of what I see). I think its great that the creative juices are flowing and the love of Do It Yourself (DIY) is back! But that means that this generation is not buying the antiques and like every other market place it brings in the law of supply and demand. The supply is increasing and the demand is decreasing – thereby making the antique items worth less and less – and I am the one that has to tell the owner of their gramma’s – parent’s or aunt’s beloved item that the value is not what they thought. There was a time about 15 years ago and before – when I would be called to do an estate sale of a home filled with antiques and I would get excited because I knew I could make good money for the estate. Now I just cringe and explain to the owner’s what has happened.
But remember you didn’t just keep it because you thought it would be worth money – you kept it because it reminded you of your gramma or parent or aunt and that’s worth more than anything!

This is because in business a profit must be made and no one knows how long it will take for that item to sell. If I would buy an item knowing I had a buyer for it – I would be willing to pay more for it. It can also cause hard feelings when you pay so little for an item and the seller returns to the store, to see a really high price on it.<br /><br />An auction has little control and is a buyer’s market – and normal, not terribly rare items can sell for less than their value. The person who left the items at auction receives whatever money is left after commission and fees.<br /><br /> So when we began – I felt it more comfortable and honest, to just do consignment. I generally let the person know what the item will be priced at - and take a percentage if it sells. The good news is the item always belongs to the consignor and they maintain control. We get our commission because it is taking up our store space and being seen by our clientele’.<br /><br />It is interesting to see what people think has value and to hear the stories that are attached to items that have been passed down – most of them being untrue and embellished.<br /><br />On the flip side-the item that someone is ready to discard thinking it has no value is a real story teller.<br /><br />Many years ago, I went to look over an estate to do an estate sale. The house was pretty well combed through – with the heirs having spent a few days going through the place and “throwing away the junk”. Remaining were rooms of furniture – a few accessories – and some art. There was a dumpster out on the driveway and I peeked in to see that all the memorable items had been tossed. The little keep sakes that someone keeps for 40 years – the items that showed wear – all had been tossed. They were not tossed because the family had been heartless and not cared about the items, but were tossed because they felt no one would want their uncle’s old worn chair – or grand-mother’s old post cards. It is difficult when you are personally and emotionally attached to an estate to determine what has value or not.<br /><br />Another time a woman came in with 2 items to sell – she had a beautiful antique porcelain box that in today’s market had a value of about $250 and she had an old lighting fixture catalog from the late 1800’s. She was convinced her porcelain box was the treasure and told me to just get what I could for the old catalog. I noticed the catalog was for a company that manufactured the lights for train cars. Knowing the train market was still strong – we got her over $500.00.<br /><br /> Antique prices also fluctuate more now because of the internet. Sale prices are pretty much simply “Supply and Demand”’’ therefore, some antiques have gone down in value and other rarer items have crept higher in price.Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-17508490769900953602010-04-28T00:09:00.000-07:002010-04-28T00:22:24.051-07:00<OBJECT id=BLOG_video-ce0ed0851126b226 class=BLOG_video_class width=320 height=266 contentId="ce0ed0851126b226"></OBJECT>Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-12132964446498681952010-03-01T10:12:00.000-08:002010-03-01T10:13:07.555-08:00PSOh...and Happy March 1!Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-32995858436097083082010-03-01T10:08:00.000-08:002010-03-01T10:12:17.151-08:00Tons of Inventory Just In..........I've been tagging and pricing like crazy this week so come on in and take a look at what we have.

Kept for many years - it had a lot of TRASH as well as treasures (a small dumpster full!) Its a new camera so we took video sideways! <br /><br /><br />Anyway-there I am on the floor sorting and tagging (which is where you can usually find me) Just had my hair cut - kind of cute. Enough about me.......... People who keep their stuff for years tend to think it is ALL valuable - yet they will often just pile it in aroom and not keep it in the best of conditions. I guess that is hoarding which is another blog all together. I came to this home and there was literally stuff in piles everywhere! We did agree to take it to the store.<br /><br />Although we did find some TREASURES, most of it was dirty, or moldy, or broken......and I am afraid even much of it - in the best of conditions would not have had value. The good part of this process is the consignor who had grieved for many years over the death of his spouse, was finally able to let go of the items that he though linked them together. It is not healthy (sanitary) to live as he was and I am glad that I could make a difference in his life! Sometimes that is the only treasure we uncover. <br /><br /><br />~~~today I got a phone call from a young man who wanted to clear out his home before he passed. He has found out that he will not survive an illness and doesn't want his family to come and just take everything after he is gone as they are not giving him much moral support during his crisis. It is sad and something that I must deal with more than I would like. Everyone, of course, deals with their own situation differently and my job is to listen and respect their wishes.....and help them if I can. Hold on - the phone is ringing....................Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-32265617573602000442010-02-04T09:39:00.000-08:002010-02-04T09:54:14.253-08:00Newspapers before the internet<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/S2sJvCvJteI/AAAAAAAAACo/HMXtlr0zRt4/s1600-h/DSCF0585.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 138px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/S2sJvCvJteI/AAAAAAAAACo/HMXtlr0zRt4/s200/DSCF0585.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434448079145776610" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/S2sJur9-6QI/AAAAAAAAACg/yh3GYEVzkLA/s1600-h/DSCF0584.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/S2sJur9-6QI/AAAAAAAAACg/yh3GYEVzkLA/s200/DSCF0584.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434448073033967874" /></a><br />Its pretty amazing to see a game that kids enjoyed many years ago which is a NEWSPAPER MAKING kit!Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-28686995419997662422009-12-09T18:13:00.000-08:002009-12-09T18:14:35.881-08:00Check Out Our New Auction Site!http://www.notjustantiquesmart.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.plReneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-75265683350834853992009-11-30T21:02:00.000-08:002009-11-30T21:02:47.336-08:00Facebook | Home<a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home">Facebook Home</a>Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-89081003580201932692009-11-27T18:59:00.000-08:002009-11-27T18:59:34.181-08:00Facebook | Not Just Antiques Mart Links<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Las-Vegas-NV/Not-Just-Antiques-Mart/137609436854?v=app_2309869772">Facebook Not Just Antiques Mart Links</a>Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-78354180539365543852009-11-24T19:30:00.000-08:002009-11-24T19:33:48.504-08:00This is some of the lovely Dresden Figurines - that go with so many styles of decorating - as do the Capodimonte Floral - from Italy.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwylYcssgTI/AAAAAAAAACQ/hZYPVaIZB5M/s1600/004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407879092004225330" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwylYcssgTI/AAAAAAAAACQ/hZYPVaIZB5M/s200/004.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwylYFztQpI/AAAAAAAAACI/AWo8O8UWT6k/s1600/002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407879085859619474" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwylYFztQpI/AAAAAAAAACI/AWo8O8UWT6k/s200/002.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwylXYQ_CVI/AAAAAAAAACA/0DvGLLa0XM4/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407879073634388306" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwylXYQ_CVI/AAAAAAAAACA/0DvGLLa0XM4/s200/001.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-77350066188174349152009-11-23T20:49:00.000-08:002009-11-23T20:51:39.725-08:00Fenton, Dresden FigurinesOh boy-we got in a small estate with many Dresden and Dresden style figurines.

We have the good sense to reuse and refurbish and re-love those items that have been discarded.Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-71269315489925349422009-11-17T07:34:00.000-08:002009-11-17T07:36:59.867-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwLDA47fYiI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XXl_fvNgbns/s1600/008.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405096922847339042" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwLDA47fYiI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XXl_fvNgbns/s200/008.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwLC7WnUyWI/AAAAAAAAABw/e6DJ63Okchk/s1600/012.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405096827736607074" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwLC7WnUyWI/AAAAAAAAABw/e6DJ63Okchk/s200/012.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwLCvxjfg0I/AAAAAAAAABo/zGqWCvJqBMs/s1600/010.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405096628809859906" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vVqS-oIzp04/SwLCvxjfg0I/AAAAAAAAABo/zGqWCvJqBMs/s200/010.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#993300;">My Favorite Accessories!</span></strong></div></div></div>Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894375145183127548.post-84013007419622829822009-11-16T18:37:00.000-08:002009-11-16T18:42:35.811-08:00<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yayyyy</span>!

Just a autumn day. The sun peeking through - warming everything in its cozy light. For many seasons we have gone from high temps to cold - so this is a real treat and I'm loving it!<br />Monday, we will begin getting another estate sale spruced up and ready for a weekend sale. Lots of interesting items including a indoor sauna! Portable and ready to be moved. I'll try to get some pics up when we are preparing it.<br /><br />Lots of interesting stories - the other day a woman came in with a tea pot that was pretty busted up but was convinced it was worth many hundreds of dollars 'cuz she had seen it on the road show. Often, the items look similiar to what we have at home, and I must break the bad news that it is not that rarity shown on tv. Usually, though, I can bring good news and delight those who thought they had something valued at $10.00 - that it is worth just a bit more!<br /><br /> Well, I'm off to our store location (<a href="http://www.notjustantiquesmart.com/">www.NotJustAntiquesMart.com</a>)Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18435528605593394327noreply@blogger.com0
