Do you have a collection?
Seaway News
Theresa Taylor is as passionate about her job as, well, collectors are about their collections and antique buffs are about their antiques.
The colourful Cornwall auctioneer points out collectors are what sales are all about because they realize that the hunt for a treasure is as rewarding as the acquisition of that elusive rare piece. Whether they collect carnival glass, stamps, coins, vintage jewellery, clothing or fine art, collectors thrive on the chase to find that perfect collectible.
The veteran bid-taker observes that the reasons for hunting for that precious object are as varied as the items themselves. Moreover Buyers' interests evolve, the veteran bid-taker observes. Perhaps at the outset, a collector will concentrate on a certain kind of glass. But later the taste will be refined; the interest shifting to only Northwood in cobalt, for example. However, this shift also presents a dilemma: Now what do you do with the part of your collection that you no longer favour?
Your best bet is to call Theresa Taylor & Associates Auctioneering.
Theresa has noticed that more and more consignors these days are not waiting for a decision to downsize or the trauma of a funeral as the reason to dispose of collections. An auction conducted by an experienced auctioneer like Theresa avoids the headaches, and disappointment, that come with holding a yard sale, where you will get a buck or two for valuables that deserve much higher prices. She can help the many who have amassed their "personal museums." And she can ease the emotional bruising when families realize that the next generation has little or no interest in the collections.
So, why is Theresa Taylor & Associates Auctioneering so popular, and effective?
Her auctions are promoted in specialty publications. Her sales are live and online, too. And countless numbers of buyers check out her sales on a regular basis. Her website generate as many as 150,000 hits. Theresa describes herself as the "go-to person who is passionate about what she does." Because of her extensive knowledge, she can offer consignors the benefit of her experience, and show the vendors' collections the respect they deserve. Collections are being purchased by like-minded people, people who share the passion for that collection and collectible as the sellers do.
People are passionate about their collections and collectibles. People have told her, "I would drive miles for a particular pair of Barbie shoes."
In auction circles, consignors and buyers alike know Theresa as being personable and enthusiastic. She enjoys a high profile -- her sales draw national attention and her innovative website attracts international buyers. Yet Theresa is at heart a country auctioneer. As she says, "What is an auction without a little down-home entertainment?"
You can see for yourself why Theresa Taylor & Associates Auctioneering is the collectors' choice by attending her annual Good Friday auction on an April 2, at the Ramada Inn at nine o'clock.
