3. Furniture and light fittings
Furniture has always been one of the most expensive antiques, and it will remain so for a long time. Art Deco is becoming popular again in the field of home design, and if it happens that you have an old table or any other piece of furniture that can still be seen as something timeless, you better don’t throw it out.
The same goes for any light fitting that dates back to the 20s or 30s. Also, the Ikea furniture that was made in the 70s is now selling for incredible prices; sometimes you can sell it for seven times the price you paid in the first place.
Maybe it is hard for you to believe that your old furniture or those dusty light fittings can be some of the most expensive antiques that many of us have in our homes, but this is the reality. See what you can save and sell it for some quick cash.

You missed cast iron skillets that can be worth thousands.
Yes I totally agree.
I have so many of the things that are listed here, I’ll be checking them out. Records, lights, books, silverware, clothes and more clothes. People just don’t know how they collect lots of collectible items or that is they just don’t realize what they have……
I often see lists of valuable antiques some of which are in my family but never see where to sell them or a list of who will buy them or websites to check. We know they are valuable but don’t know what to do with them. Can you help?
I have boxes of records that I would like to sale, but don’t know how to go about selling them. Who should I contact? It would cost so much to ship them. If at all possible, I would like to have someone to come and look at them. How would I list them with you?
We had a garage sale in 2012 when we were moving to a smaller home and I sold four Apple boxes full of records I had been collecting since 1964, each for $100.
I have a number of old items that I’m going to sell. How do I list them with you?
Yeah, but I still use mine. My “non-stick” can’t touch my cast iron. Well seasoned, NOTHING sticks to it… I just have to protect it from roommate who insists on washing with soap
nice too show items
BUT
we need to know where to sell, who will buy
and don’t say ebay, marketplace, etc
and record stores don’t want this and don’t want that and will NOT pay you for they want it free,
so we need to know people who really want to buy and who collect and not just jerk you around
I’ve yet to see it work on either of my Yorkies
Where can I find a place to appraise my items. Oil paintings, marble paintings, and furniture.
Thanks,
Bill

Many people collect old records and go to Salvation Army store or the library’s annual book sale. When you donate your records you can deduct amount on your income tax if you use govt approved charity. The Salvation Army and Goodwill can tell you how much to deduct for each record.
