Antiques and
Collectibles are currently accepted for Consignments, listed at Auctions,
for sale in Shops. Antiquealot Castles offers guided shopping Tours,
"internet surfing" Lessons and group "surfing safaris", and
antique hunting Expeditions. For personal antique
Services, please call Andrea Lorimer, your Personal
Antique Service Technician, I am available to help you with almost all
of your Antique or Collecting Services. I am very Sorry,
but I do not do any antique repairs or restorations.
Are you an
ANTIQUEHUNTER or an ANTIQUEAHOLIC? Join me for an Exciting Antiquealot
Adventure. I have Personally Guided Antique Shopping Tours, Wild
Antique Hunting Outdoor Expeditions, or plan a Group Surfing Safari &
Antique Appraisal Party. Call all of your antique collecting friends
together for a fun, informative Antiquealot Party.
Do you have a collection you
would like to sell? I can DESIGN YOUR "ANTIQUES AND
COLLECTIBLES FOR SALE" WEB PAGE, and I can List your Collectibles for
sale On Consignment, or your Antiques for bid At Auction.
Are you trying to find the
"last piece" to complete your collection, and are just too busy
to browse? I can Search for, or Personally Shop for Antiques for
you. No time to surf the net? I can Research the history your FAMILY'S
TREASURES for you.
Do you have a little or no
computer skills? I can teach you how to "SURF the WEB" and I
provide Private Internet Surfing Lessons. Get your friends together for a
fun group "surfing safari" party, and I can teach you a
few internet surfing shortcuts that I have learned.
Do you have a Complete
Household Antique and Collectible Inventory? Do you know the current value
of all of your Treasures? This is very useful information to have when
applying for Home Owner's or Renter's Insurance, as the personal property
value of your Antiques should help in deciding how much insurance coverage
you need. As I am not certified yet, I can only offer to INFORMALLY
Appraise & Price your Antiques for sale, or Scan your Antiques,
if flat, or photograph and scan photo of your antiques, and print
out a PERSONAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO, with pictures and detailed
descriptions.

| Informal
Antique Appraisals : I am Sorry, THERE ARE NO ON-LINE APPRAISALS
AVAILABLE HERE, and I will try to explain why. I will only give an
appraisal on any item that I am able to examine in person. My
reasons are that in order to give a complete and accurate price or value
on an item, with all of the editing programs & photo technology
available today, any photograph or scan can, and might be altered, cloned,
and otherwise doctored up, even by an amateur. To accurately
appraise an antique or collectible, I must be able to visually
inspect each item in person. I would not personally trust an
appraisal given online of ONLY an image of an antique, as you can't smell
if the item is moldy, or see any fine cracks, or other damage, if it
is not easily visible in a picture. I recommend, but do not require
a Formal Professional Property Appraisal, or an Informal Property
Appraisal, to properly place a correct value on your items listed at
Antiquealot Consignments or Auctions.
