Response from ANTIQUE HELPER
This was not a client of ours. We never entered into any service agreements. We did not invoice or collect any money from this individual.

Easy to visit website and get info.
Description of Work: In order to sell some inherited items, I looked on Angies LIst for antique appraisers. I saw the name of Antique Helper and I decided it was a descriptive name for the business, to start with. It appealed to me. Also, I was able to immediately go on their website which gave a remarkable video record of a recent high-profile auction handled by the firm. It was so interesting (archaeology-releated) that I immediately shared it with a family member who studied Archaeology. (Got off-track for a moment!). As I checked on their rules, methods of doing business, etc,. I decided that A.H. was a business that I might eventually use. The only reason I have not contacted them is that the whole family needs to agree on what we are doing with our collection at this time. A.H seems very interesting and I would not be afraid to contact them. Another plus was that they are LOCAL. No shippiing on my part.

DeWayne Butler, one of the auctioneers, came to Dad's house and went through the estate with us. He gave sound advice about what to do with everything and then came back and packed up the breakables. A moving company took the larger items. The online presentations and in-house live auctions were very professionally handled. Everyone involved was extremely helpful and understanding of the sentimental attachment one has for family heirlooms. The auctions themselves were fun and exciting. We received payment in a timely manner. The entire experience with Antique Helper was a positive one.
Description of Work: Antique Helper helped my sister and me liquidate our Father's estate. Furniture, artwork, antiques, collectibles, etc. were carefully wrapped and removed from the house. The better items were catalogued and listed online and in the company auction brochures. The items were sold on four separate auction days. The auction house received a fair commission, but we had no out-of-pocket expense. We realized a nice profit from the auctions. Detailed receipts were sent to us following the auctions showing the price the item sold for, the commission paid to the auction house plus any other expenses incurred, along with checks for everything that sold.

I attended the October Art and Antiques auction. It was my second experience at Antique Helper. I have attended numerous art, antiques and estate auctions through the years, so I speak from experience in saying that Dan Ripley runs an extremely professional operation. Staff are all knowledgeable about the merchandise, they've done their homework. The auction house is bright and comfortable, and the website is a great resource for prep work. The auctions are lively and exciting, live bidding on the floor along with simultaneous on-line bidding and remote (mysterious!) telephone bidders. NOT a homespun country auction. NOT a snotty Sotheby's-type experience. Rather, a modern, upscale auction house which specializes in quality 20th-century art and antiques.
Description of Work: Art auction.
