If you're going to offer vintage luxury goods priced higher than buying them brand new, I'd expect to see certificates of authenticity and similar documentation. The man behind the counter was super nice, but it was a bit of a bummer seeing how much of the good stuff felt overpriced. I hope people come in and buy, but a lot of it seems like it's been sitting there for a long time, and what's the point of that? The whole idea of antiques is keeping things out of landfills and giving them a second home.

Finding Downsizeology on Yelp was a blessing! A dear relative passed away and my job was to clean…read moreup her double wide trailer...which turned out to be *packed* with stuff. I hired Andy, the business owner, and one helper to work with me sorting through the home, separating trash, donations and items with potential value. His expertise made this overwhelming job go much smoother than expected. Andy holds special qualifications in jewelry and antique appraisal that eliminated a lot of guesswork. He also gave quick, objective, accurate assessments of a whole houseful of odd items like crystal, flatware, china, art, jewelry, furniture and collectables. Downsizeology is not cheap, but they're worth every penny and delivered great value for the money I spent. Note that they are licensed, insured and bonded for a whole range of services including turn-key clean out of homes, buying entire estates and moving services, as well as the strategic evaluation they did with me.

My MIL was an "enthusiastic collector" of lots of useless stuff which resulted in a daunting clean-out task. Andy arranged to meet us the day after we contacted him and a week after that the entire apartment was cleaned out and left spotlessly clean. Andy is meticulous about spotting items of value amongst a sea of worthless clutter and provided us a credit on his fees for these items. The company philosophy is to donate and/or recycle as much of the remaining items as possible thereby minimizing what ends up in the landfill. We totally recommend Downsizeology for your down-sizing or home clean-out needs. They are worth every penny of the fees they charge.

After a bit of searching and calling around we found ENC and connected with Anthony, owner of the store. We plunked down our bag of coins and Anthony was fantastic! He took us through the process and ended up spending hours with us patiently sorting through the coins, accessing each one and picking those out with greater value and together we made a detailed inventory. He treated us fairly and came up with good price and we walked out feeling great. I can highly recommend this business!
