St. Petersburg Antique Buyers
Here at Sarasota Antique Buyers, we are St. Petersburg’s premier antique buyer and dealer. With over 22 years of experience in the industry, we have the highest amount of experience and knowledge in the trade. The key to truly appreciating an antique is knowing its story and background. Whenever we appraise or sell something, we are happy to share everything we know about its history.
Free Verbal Appraisals
Oftentimes, we will meet with people that don’t believe their antique has any true value, since it may be tarnished or dirty. This, however, is not always the case. As the best St. Petersburg antique dealers, we are able to see past the tarnish, to accurately appraise your piece.
A market analysis of your antique piece will be based on many different aspects; just because it may not be aesthetically pleasing, the rarity and history of the piece may lead to its being worth a great deal. If you want to sell your antique, come to Sarasota Antique Buyers; we will give you a free market appraisal based on:
- Demand: If the piece has high popularity right now, it will be worth more.
- Age and rarity: If it is extremely rare and very old, the price will be higher. Some old coins are very easily obtained, which is why you can find them for relatively cheap online.
- Condition: If the piece is very rare, its condition will matter less. However, if it has been perfectly maintained, it could be worth a great deal.
- History and sources: What country is it from? Was it created by a well-known artist, or made during a famous time period? If either of these applies, it may be worth more.
If you are looking to sell your antique, please contact us using the form on the right hand side of our site for a free online market analysis. For the most accurate assessment:
