I took an early retirement  from my regular job and wondered what was around the corner for me to do.  I have used eBay since 1999 to purchase stamps for my collection and hired people to sell items for me.  I decided that it couldn't be that hard and so I tried it in March 2004 and have been at it ever since.  We had dealt with estates for over 31 years and it is something we enjoy.

This transition seemed a natural way to integrate the estate liquidation company we have had for 31 years into the 21st century.  We do a full range of estate liquidations specializing in the evaluation of collections and general contents to ascertain the most beneficial way to sell the treasures of a loved one or your own collection.  This process may include decisions of donating items to charities, selling on eBay or calling in any variety of other sources to obtain the best results as well as on site estate sales.  We also advise clients in down sizing and discuss what items may best suit their changing life style.  We understand the tax ramifications of  financial  issues relating to estates and will work closely with financial professionals to protect the collector and heirs.

Our areas of specialization includes coins, stamps, jewelry, art work, and American furniture and decorative arts.  It s not to say we don't deal with other items.  Over the years we have developed relationships with other professionals that are always ready to help and offer opinions.  We work closely with coin and stamp dealers, jewelers, appraisers and auction companies. In addition, we have a complete source of Internet relationships that provide us the latest in sales prices over a broad range of antiques and collectibles.  We find this helpful with the minute to minute changes in gold and silver prices and other valuables relating to our current financial instability.  Our sales arena is internationally based providing the greatest opportunity to sell your treasures.

We take great pride in advising our clients of a variety of options and integrating our services with all others.  Our results speak for themselves and we will furnish references upon request. We do not maintain an open shop.  Further, we do not purchase items from the estate unless they do not sell and then that is negotiable.  We can be reached at:
