Somebody complimented me the other day, saying, “you must know everything”. I was flattered and wish that was the case. Kellie says I’m full of “useless knowledge”. Sometimes that useless knowledge comes in handy.

The compliment came up when we were talking about our business and some of the things we’ve sold recently. I realized that since we opened in 2005, we’ve learned quite a lot about stuff you’d never think about until you need it.

Until starting this business, I would have never been able to:

• Spot a fake Coach purse
• Disassemble a WII Japanese sword to find out if it’s signed by it’s maker and then reassemble it perfectly
• Understand the date codes on a Coleman lantern
• Know what makes one beer sign valuable and another junk
• Know how to safely prep and ship something by freight carrier
• Find the model number, date, and city and state of manufacture for a vintage Singer sewing machine
• Identify the bolt pattern, offset, and backspace for a car rim

Even more valuable, that experience has taught us to understand the most important things buyers are looking for in a listing to get them interested in a listing. That experience is what makes the difference and helps us realize top dollar for you in this marketplace.

Got something to sell and want to make sure it’s sold the right way? Bring it in and we’ll make it happen for you.
