Do You Have Something to Sell?

Dwight and Christy Schannep - Mall owners and Buyers

Buyers are on the Premises

Dwight and Christy Schannep have a 20 year track record and an honest reputation for paying fair prices for individual pieces to entire households. Buyers are always on the premises and we probably pay more than our competitors! Immediate appointments can be arranged to meet at the seller's residence for larger items and quantity! We make free house calls when we are called out to purchase!

Verbal Consultations and verbal approximations of value

Bring in what you have for a free condensed verbal consultation. We have a broad knowledge of antiques, jewelry, fine art, etc. If the item(s) are too large to transport, bring us (or e-mail us) a photograph. You are more than welcome to visit our mall to locate similar items to the items you are trying to price.

Don't make the mistake of selling a Rembrandt painting for $1.00! Our services include verbal approximations of value before estate sales, yard sales, or heir distributions. Our years of practical experience and formal appraisal training will probably cost you a small fraction of the extra money you'll make after talking with us!

Written Appraisals

Over our past 20 years in Tucson, we have sold millions of dollars worth of merchandise.  We are qualified appraisers with both the formal training and testing and practical experience to write appraisals for your item(s). Written appraisals are used to obtain insurance coverage, settle insurance claims, estate division, divorce division, charitable donations, etc. We have been formally trained and tested through the International Society of Appraisers and have successfully completed the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice course through the American Association of Appraiers.

Charities

We offer, free of charge, verbal approximations of value for charitable organizations that have antiques and collectibles for sale for fund-raising auctions and events. We also donate quality items for charity auctions.

Estate Sale Specialists

We can conduct an estate sale at your home if you have a whole house full of items to sell! We have the knowledge of current liquidation prices and the experience to perform this professional service for you.  We take your worry and stress out of liquidating your loved one's items.
