Dealing with valuable antiques
requires special care and attention to detail. We always thoroughly
research an item's provenance, so that our eBay listing cites
all key selling points. We begin by a thorough historical research
effort of your vintage item, so that your eBay ad will have an
accurate and complete historical account of the significance of
the item. An item's age, rarity, aesthetic quality, function,
condition, and other factors help determine how desirable an item
will be.
We often consult with expert appraisers,
jewelers, top craftsmen, premier auction houses, and A.A.D.A.-member
antique dealers. The more that is known about your item, the higher
the final selling price. Specialists may also be called upon if
an item has a particularly obscure marking or signature.
Then, with the addition of clear,
professional close-up macro photography (and possible MPEG movies
as well, showing three dimensional detail from many angles), potential
buyers and bidders will have an abundance of both visual and textual
information.
Your antique items may also be
listed on D-Vers.Com Online Gallery, offering antiques & decorative
arts, haute couture, fine art, jewelry, and more, all presented
in dazzling high-resolution HD video. D-Vers.Com Online Gallery
offers works in all styles, from all periods and world cultures.
A growing resource for decorators, interior designers, and collectors
and consumers alike, D-Vers.Com has new pieces added to its inventory
nearly daily.
If an item is accepted for listing
on D-Vers.Com, there are no fees for this service, and the item
shall remain listed until sold. (Please

Valuable antiques are in high
demand, both on eBay and at other specialized online sites. With
the growing popularity of the PBS hit, "Antiques Road Show",
North American interest in antiques is significant. Unfortunately,
many of those seeking to purchase rare pieces live far from New
York City, or other such areas offering an abundance of 'bricks
and mortar' antiques galleries, and thus lack any real opportunity
to purchase in the 'real world'.
Listing you antique items online
with eBay is an intelligent decision; likely the easiest (and
most cost-effective) means of reaching the widest audience possible,
and potentially finding a buyer. Even for those living in New
York, web sites such as eBay, D-Vers.Com Online Gallery, GoAntiques,
and others, offer a convenient opportunity to find a sought-after
piece. Thus, many local buyers turn to the internet, as well as
visiting galleries, when in the market for antiques.
