Registration Required Below Are you fascinated by rare treasures and unique collections? Do you have a passion for antiques, vintage items, or collectibles of any kind? Randi Hutton, an expert with RZ Connection LLC, an estate services company, takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of collectibles. We will discuss collecting in general, the definition of valuable, and how to identify valuable pieces (you may be surprised). Not everyone is a collector, or even wants the items that they have acquired over the years so Randi will also offer tips on the various ways to sell items, including their pros and cons, and the results to expect.
