I inherited a large theatrical collection dating from 1850 which the V&A museum says is of inestimable value. I found museums in the UK & USA who are interested but I don’t know how to market the collection or how to converse with these types of people.Auction dealers get toffee-nosed & only want to auction the Will-Look-Good-In-Our-Auction-Brochure Oil Painting, ignoring the collection as a whole. I have already been advised not to separate the collection. There are some items there which are famous. All I have to work with in my search is the internet - but the antiques & collectibles sites only deal with Beanies or thimbles or comic books, and so on. I have not found a really serious site where really serious people look for the stuff of museum collections.
Before anyone gives the answer - the library is of no help whatsoever.
Has anyone got a clue?

I have some antique jewelry and accessories I have questions about but I’m not sure there is a specific category I should list my questions under in Yahoo! Answers. I’ve browsed through Arts & Humanity as well as Society & Culture and their subcategories are kind of vague. Any suggestions?

I have inherited an attic full of treasures- but many of them are not common enough to be found on e-bay. Some of things may be facinating, but of little to no $ value, others could be worth a lot of money. I can’t afford to hire an auction house, just to see if there is anything of interest. Any suggestions?

So my new part time occupation is to source expensive books which are underpriced and then to list them on eBay and other main selling sites for their market price. Currently I’m focused on looking for first editions but wouldn’t be better to sell books which has a value due to it’s content rather than status of being first edition? The problem with collectable books is that people sometimes cannot determine the condition of books just by looking on few pictures and description and therefore driving down the prices online. However the condition is not that important when looking for rare educational books therefore online selling would be more appropiate for them. Yet, in my experience, it is hard to source first editions for cheap price as sellers already know the value of first edition or it won’t be stated that book is first edition and end up unsold. Any remarks from people which operating in this business?
PS. I mainly want to source books online and sell them online.
