Is there an antique appraisal website you know of?

Hi Apolaki

Just wanted to add:
Ethnographic weapons seem to be bucking the downward trend of collectables and antiques at the moment, and auction websites often seem to realise very good prices for them.
What I think this site allows (which is always better than asking for a valuation) is for collectors to get their items correctly idenitfied (I continue to be truly amazed by the expertise of members here).
If you then decide to sell, you can do a little research based on accurate identification and get a general idea of value, and most importantly you can offer the item with an accurate description if you do decide to sell so all interested parties can easily find it and it should have the best chance of achieving full current market value at auction.

I have sometimes even found that once the members here have idenitifed an item, I find it grows in personal value to me, and I decide to keep it!
There is nothing like hearing about a pieces history to 'bring it to life', and there are always friendly forumites like Jim and many others who are willing to share their expertise and enthusiasm for collecting these pieces.

Regards
