Hi There,
My Dad passed away last year and we need to sell his collection of North American Indian Artifacts. There are approximately 4,000 pieces, mostly points, but axes, pendants and a little bit of pottery as well. He has some that he paid $2,500 to $5,000 for at auctions, and some that he found or were given to him that he valued at a dollar. He has some arranged in frames. What is your advice on the best way to approach selling the collection? Is it best to sell it as a whole, use an auction company, approach private buyers, sell them closer to where they were found, set up tables at shows? My Dad has everything well documented, but we have very, very limited knowledge ourselves. Any advice would be appreciated. What instructions have you given your heirs (please do!).
Thanks!
