IF YOUR ABOUT TO SELL A LARGE ART, ANTIQUE COLLECTION OR DECEASED ESTATE AND YOU NEED EXPERT ADVICE FROM A PROFESSIONAL WITH 25 YEARS IN THE AUSTRALIAN ANTIQUE TRADE then
please read more ...

When you consider the estate or life time collection has taken more than 40 to 50 years to collect, the person that normally is the or one of the executors trusted to disperse the estate has that job because they are a trust worthy person.
More often than not they have little or no experience how to sell through auction or the best way to sell a collection or deceased estate. In my opinion 99% of people trusted with dispersing an estate would call in 2 or 3 antique auction companies to see who could auction the estate for the best price.
The rule of thumb is the auction companies wont tell you what particular items in the estate will be vigorously contested by the open market.

THE REASON WHY THEY WONT TELL YOU IS 99% OF THE TIME THE FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS DECIDE TO TAKE THE BEST ITEMS OUT OF THE ESTATE TO KEEP FOR THEM SELF So unless you pay for a written evaluation the antique auction company will only give you around about price that the estate may achieve on any particular auction day. Most antique auction companies will charge around $160 per hour plus charge for travel time for a written evaluation.
