I usually agree with everything you say, except for tonight's comment about people saying they want an item to have a good home. I can't speak for anyone else but I do have things that I plan on selling that I want the items to have a good home, not everything of course, but such things like Items that I've had since a child, or things my mom owned that were special to her. I know once the item is sold anything could happen. I like happy endings. It is really a pain being a sentimental person because letting some things go "is" hard for me to handle.
I have never sold anything. I buy sometimes and the people are so happy that I'm keeping their item and cherishing it as much as they do. I even take down as much information and history of the item so I can carry that on as well. 💛💛
You are right that once an item is sold, anything can happen to it. There are people who say that they want a piece to go to a "good home" but in my experience, that is not their true mission.
Someone from the Smithsonian did that to my grandmother! She had a gorgeous early American cupboard appraised. Then she was contacted by the "person" that the appraiser said was interested in her cupboard. She got taken! It is now in the museum!
I got scammed when I wanted a Morgan Toned silver dollar appraised. This so called appraiser/ dealer said it was only worth $19 and insisted on buying it for that amount which I later learned it was worth over $200. He intimidated me into letting him buy it…. Lesson learned, thank you Dr. Lori, wish I had your advice years ago.
🤔… I would think the children would know that the “friend “ is a reseller and that would be his motivation 100 percent is to buy and resell. No brainer!!!!They should have called Dr. Lori.
Because the antique business is a growing business, appraisers need to become licensed and restricted from selling anything they appraise. This will uphold integrity in the business. Code of ethics is valuable. What are your thoughts Dr. Lori? By the way you are my teacher and I am in love 🥰 with your generous heart and smart mind!
My husband and I go to auction once a week for the past three years for me, he has been going to auctions for 50 years. I’m learning so much about everything under the shining sun. I truly enjoy your channel and I am trying to soak up all the knowledge I can from you. Thank you so so much. 💜💜💜💜
Some people complain because Dr. Lori charges for appraisals she gives. Of course….she is worth it. Just listen to the stories she tells of “less than honest” appraisers who take financial advantage of people. Keep up the good work Dr. Lori.
If you come to my house to look at my things will you expect something in trade for appraisal,? I know that's not a very good question but I can't exactly afford the appraisal. I'm sorry.
Hi Debra, before you say you can't afford my appraisals, please look at how low the prices are. My professional services come with associated fees. Nothing is a bad question. No need to be sorry for your financial situation either. No, I never take anything in trade for my services. Why is this a very bad thing for you when some other appraiser accepts something in trade--they know what something is worth and you don't. That appraiser who accepts a trade in my opinion is probably taking advantage of you in my opinion. Lots of free info on my videos and website too. Good luck.
Proud of you! This video really played on all of your strengths, and felt very genuine - and that's not a passive aggressive dig. Hey, it can't all be rosy rosy sunshine and Maypoles; Cynicism, scrutiny, discernment, judgement calls - that's all a part of this, too! Great great vid. Much enjoyed.
i love listening to you i got lucky i have a charles fazinno big picture 10 bucks worth 2k to 2500 just going by the very few that are for sale ....lol just got lucky goodwill lol lori hope u had a great xmas if u celebrate and happy new year
I always love your straight forward tell it like it is attitude. I'd love to be that I'm more of the be quiet and believe what someone with more authority tells me. So you're showing me how to gain more strength in the knowledge you pass on thank you.
I agree with Gail, I expect people to be honest on an appraisal. Sadly I don’t trust people so much now after being burned badly on several occasions. Dr. Lori is a real deal gem of a person. I love her Sense of humor while being serious on teaching us all the clues.
@@DrLoriV Greetings Dr.Lori,what a pleasure to be in contact with you,I love your sense of humor, anyhow,it's Sunday morning, Monday I will be able to provide a picture of my Painting.Thank you very much for your time,I will contact you tomorrow.💯
Such valuable information that Dr.Lori is sharing here. To know all that takes many years of education and experience. Thank you for sharing Dr.Lori ,sending Love your way.
Hello Dr. Lori, I'm glad I found you,,, Dr Lori, I need help, I bought a ranch in Casa Grande Az, this ranch also got a property and garage full of items, a lot of everything, from jewelry to tools and kitchen items, I mean a lot of everything in a house hold,,, this property belonged to a German family, and for what I found out so far it looks Iike they came to this country between 1850 and 1870
Thank you Dr. Lori for this very informative video. You are priceless and happy birthday early. Yes, I watched a lot of your videos and once or twice you mentioned your birthday. Enjoy!!
Good morning Dr. Lori! I had to laugh when you called out the seller that wants their item to go to a "good home". We want PUPPIES to go to good homes. Sellers want YOUR cash to go to THEIR own good home! Thanks for the great tips! You're a peach!
Fellow thrifter tried to "poor mouth " to get all my items I had looked hard for. Not just one thing ALLLLL of it. My answer.....Nope sorry I am keeping it all to resale also. Her response.....Well aren't you something ! Yes ma'am I sure am. Have a nice day. Moral of the story. Watch out for those sob stories from fellow thrifters and resalers too. Never mix business and friendship is a good rule to live by... always.
You tell it the way it is....like it or not..me I like it....because....that's the way I am myself...your information is always....real....and ...true....to your craft......ty....ty...ty.....
Great information, much of which is applicable in many areas of purchasing. Walking away when buying a vehicle when I don't get the price I want it for is my favorite technique. This all makes so much sense!
Yes, I will be scheduling soon. I will not take my pieces of antuque jewelry anywhere until after I get your expert accurate information. Lookjng greta BTW Doc!! Happy New Year!!
Great information Dr Lori I've come across a couple of these types of people before that want to make money on what I've had. I was also stupid enough to let things go to a, "friend", that did this to me on several occasions. I know better now thanks to you. Thank you for sharing these things! Love you always!❤️❤️
Hey, Dr Lori. I found this tiny Christmas tree that has a label at the bottom. S.I.V.A mindovino Venezia. I just found out that this company is from 1930 Società Industriale Vetreria Artistica) a Tuscany Italian factory. But I can’t find any other info except a glass bottle on 1stdibs.
