All week long, we've been telling you about the popularity of antiques and collectibles. Consumer Watch will show you step by step what you need to do to sell those old things. Before you sell anything, make sure you know what it's worth, then the choice comes down to garage sale, auction or on-line selling. If you hold a garage sale, your old things probably won't sell for top dollar so another option is to take your item to an antique shop.
Some antique shops do it all, appraisals, consignment and estate sales.
Reputable antique shops have a regular shoppers who are constantly searching for the perfect antique. Another way to attract the right buyers is to put your item on consignment at an auction house, such as this one. Danny's Auction is open for public bidding every Friday night. Dealers and collectors come to find valuables for a bargain. A third option, sell on-line.
