YES! I DO BUY!(and am still buying even though I have closed the shop.) Some items are taken on consignment but mostly, I buy outright. Contact me by phone or email if you are selling - I generally request that you email photos before I drive to look at your items. If you have a lot of smaller collectibles, it is usually best if you box them up and either drop the boxes off with me or I can pick them up. I will give you a receipt and get back to you within about 48 hours with an offer. This way I can take the time to research your items and do my best to give you a fair price.
I am still buying for my mall space at Gilman Antique and Design Gallery in Issaquah, plus I need inventory for shows and for selling on Ebay. I am always interested in smaller pieces of furniture, including tables, bookcases, display cases, small china cabinets, hall trees, dressers & chests, trunks and many other items.
I am especially looking for vintage collectibles - rhinestone jewelry, art pottery, kitchenware glass from the 1930's & 40's, tools, depression glass, anything unusual is a good seller. Call me or email me with what you have and I'll see if it's what I'm looking for - it's hard to describe EXACTLY the items I want!
Remember that if you are selling to a dealer, you will get an offer of approximately 30 to 40% of the value of the item. Condition and demand have a huge impact on what I will pay -- if I have to work on a piece of furniture, I must take my time and ability into consideration when I determine what I will pay for that piece. If it goes right out on the floor, I pay more; if it needs work, I have to sell it as is or spend time fixing the problems. Collectibles that have chips or cracks have very little value and I will usually turn away damaged china, glass etc. Books must be in excellent condition -- I don't care if they are 100 years old, if they have water damage, they're worth zip. I also have to consider the length of time an item will be in my inventory-- is this piece 'hot'? or are buyers few and far between for this particular collectible? All of these factors are involved in the value of an item.
To those of you who have known and loved Miss Page, the shop cat, you will be saddened to know that she passed away quietly in August of this year. Miriam, Page's mom, gave her a beautiful life for almost a year. Miss Page was around 20 years old. She will be sorely missed.
