Antiques are a priceless asset for people who know and value their importance. Antiques are obtained by people if it’s their hobby or they might have got it because their relatives might have handed it over to them. No matter what, but now you are left with choices to either sell the property or to keep it with you.
Now, if you have finally decided to sell your antiques, then it is actually a serious deal. Antiques are the most prized possessions and if you are willing to sell it then you should get a fair market price for it. For this you should be in contact with antique dealers on whom you can place your trust and are people of repute. To verify this there are some steps that can check the trustworthiness of these dealers.
The first and the foremost can be to contact the local or any other antique dealer associations with whom you can verify the details of your antique dealer. These organisations help enforce standards for the antique buying and selling practises. If any dealer even antique restorers, found violating these rules then these organisations have power to eliminate those people.
Secondly, you can ask them for their degree certificates. It is true that there are no valid courses to determine their knowledge on the current market scenario. This will also help you to know whether the person or the antique shops are reliable and knows the market mechanisms.
And last but not the least, ask the dealers to show the product sales reports of previous deals. If he is a genuine person then he will show you the reports and also give explanation according to it. But if he is fake then, the situation would be different and he would go beating around the bush. Hence, this will help you to evaluate the person further as well.
