Location: Date: December 6, 2022

On Day 1 of our Holiday Sparkle sale, we focused on the fun and fabulous! From QVC designer costume jewelry to vintage pen collections, our items left bidders breathless. Each lot started at just $10, but many quickly climbed up in price as participants tried to win them. What caught the eye of many of the bidders during our costume jewelry, American coins, and designer handbags auction? Here’s a glimpse into what was sold.

 

We Sold American Coins, QVC Jewelry, Vintage Pen Collections, Handbags, & More!

Our latest holiday sale made it possible for collectors to build up their gold and silver costume jewelry, American coin, and vintage pen collections. Plus, they were able to get a little something special for their wives, mothers, sisters, and themselves — new designer handbags!

I’m happy with everything Joe and Janet did, you were both informative and were very helpful with the questions I had being that I was never in that position before. Janet’s response time was also positive for me. It was interesting to watch the auction live. I thought you did an amazing job and had a nice banter back and forth. You seem to be a good team! Thank you for all your hard work and making this difficult time of letting  my deceased father’s collectibles go an easy experience.

I would like to thank you for including me in your online sale.

Everything from none contact drop off, to none contact pick up, was handled with the outmost professionalism.

I appreciated your clear communication after the sale with a printout and an explanation of when I’ll receive my check.

Overall I was very please with the prices my jewelry achieved, some lot  went for less then I expected, others went for more, it’s all in the average.

Thank you very much

I come to your auctions often. You and your staff are great. Your change to an online auction on 4/9 is just another testament to your fine character and being thoughtful of others. The items are great no doubt, but a big reason I keep coming back is due to the culture you have created. Thank you. Art
