Antiques and Collectibles

Jeanne asked:


I am looking for a present for my boss’ wife and she really likes Ruth Rendall books but she has read them all. Do you know of any books that are similar but also kind of rare/unusual as she has read a lot of mystery books and will be familiar with all the well known authors & their books. Something set in Canada would be extra good as she is Canadian. Thanks

Can anyone give me an advise. I really like antiques, specially greek and roman coins and 1st edition rare books. Are they worth it? Are they a future garantee? Where can i invest some cash - not too much though, but i don’t want to spend it in futile things

I have inherited more antique furniture than I can use. I want to put some into a high quality consignment store or antiques auction that will allow a reserve. Haven’t found much on the internet. Looking for references in Dallas area.

Yes, I have tried Craig’s List and eBAY.

December asked:


We’re downsizing and need to get rid of some furniture and assorted antiques. Has anyone out there had experience dealing with auction houses or estate sale dealers?

Should we send the stuff to an auction house(some of the pieces are large)? Have an on-site auction? Have an estate-type sale? We’re trying to decide which way to go.

Thanks for your help!
