How would you go about getting things valued? Does anyone know? Has anyone ever got anything valued?

Experiences please :)

    Renzo - good idea but just not the best idea. I want to get something valued and I don't know how to do it.

    Do you have an auction house near to you? Thats where my mum had her stuff valued, and then got to decide whether she sold them or not.

    I don't want to know how much they are worth in order to sell them. I am just curious more than anything :)

    "I'm just curious"

    Sounds like a line you've practised before, maybe with another girl. I like it.

    Keep up the good work!

    One of the big auction houses would probably be best.

    It's worth knowing, for insurance reasons.

    Stanley Gibbons publishes a little directory that can help you value individual stamps. Check in your Yellow Pages for stamp dealerships nearby, there are very often good people there who can help you assign a value to a collection.

    I took something to a local place once to get it valued and the bloke told me he'd only value it if I agred beforehand to sell it to him. Ha! I declined and took that as a good sign.

    Fucking excellent programme.
