This page is about you, the customer or visitor. We receive many phone calls each 
day inquiring not only about our items for sale, but concerning items that they 
have for sale or waant to price out. They may have inheritied them from their grand-
parents or parents and want to get the best price for them or just want to know what 
they're worth.

First of all, it's impossible to tell them what an item is worth without actually seeing it 
and holding it in hand. What the caller or emailer thinks is mint may be worthless. 
"It only has a little scratch in it" --- yeh, but the little scratch goes all the way through 
to the bottom. So, telling them the worth of the item is just plain guessing.

Stories I don't need to hear. "My grandmother stored the vase in a glass curio cabinet 
for 50 years and never used it. "Actually the vase was used as a door stop and kicked 
by everyone who entered house.

Things to Do:

Search for the item on the Internet: Inquirers who email us obviously know how to email, 
but little else. The Search Engines are there for them to use. Just go to Google or Yahoo and 
type in  what you are seaching for. Hundreds to sources of information will pop up.
Do your home work. 

Buy A Text: Also buy a text on the subject. At the bottom of my home page is listed the best
source for books on Royal Doulton. You don't necessarily need the latest edition of the book, 
so look at Amazon for a used book.
