Author, Auctioneer, Appraiser, and Radio show Host Mike Ivankovich will introduce you to “What Determines Value"… and reveal what your Antiques, Collectibles, and Personal Treasures are really worth today. Each attendee is invited to show 1-2 items for Mike to appraise, depending on the number of participants.
Preregistration required even for those who plan to attend without having an item appraised. If planning to participate from your own home via Zoom, register here. If planning to participate from the library, register here.
Mike will be presenting on Zoom
Attendees are welcome to participate via Zoom or come to the library where we’ll have the Zoom meeting on our projector screen
If coming to the library, your item must be portable
Proper camera positioning & lighting will be important because if Mike can’t see the item, he won’t be able to appraise it. If coming to the library, staff will have this set-up prearranged.
Be prepared to answer Mike’s questions about markings, condition, etc.
Attendees should have one back-up item for Mike to appraise in case he is unable to virtually appraise the primary item. Additionally, a virtual background can distort how an item looks so that should be turned off when showing your item.
Refreshments will be served at the library for those who attend in person.
