A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a Jeep I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.”

The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because the said it looks pretty worn out.”

The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old Jeep.”

The father asked his daughter to go to a Jeep club now and show them the Jeep. The daughter then took the Jeep to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because “it's an iconic Jeep and sought by many collectors.”

Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you......Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.

After 40+ years of working with the public and lawyers in conducting court-order appraisals of the contents of estates, cleaning the homes out, making them ready for sale, and auctioning the merchandise, we decided to slow down the pace. We no longer conduct in-house appraisals or conduct auctions. We will continue to do individual personal certified appraisals by appointment. We also will conduct free appraisals of up to three items at Canal Street Antique Mall every Wednesday without an appointment. We are incredibly grateful for the support and commitment that the lawyers and the public have given to our business over all these years.

Thank you!

We hope you visit us with items that you are curious about
any Wednesday from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm at
Canal Street Antique Mall, 181 Canal Street, Lawrence, Massachusetts. See you soon!
