This is the reality of today’s worldwide auction market and how to successfully sell your antique or vintage item for top dollar. Whether a vintage car, musical instrument, classic McIntosh or Marantz stereo system, gold and silver coins, sterling silver flatware or other item, an auction is the best format so everyone competes, and when opened up to worldwide bidding, these and many other items can bring prices that are simply amazing. The keys include a stellar company reputation and an understanding of worldwide shipping logistics, auctions that include many high resolution photos, a video, and accurate description. Does the item need to be in excellent condition? Not at all. What you may not know is that The Sell It Now Store™ specializes in helping you sell everything from vintage cars to coins.

FIRST COMES THE proposal then comes the
wedding planning. There are dozens of decisions that need to be made before it’s time to walk
down the aisle, which can be overwhelming for brides and grooms.
To help make it less stressful, these tips
from Macy’s can help couples through the entire
wedding-planning process, from on-trend apparel and accessories for the entire wedding party to all the essentials to create a perfect registry. Dressing the Ladies
When it comes to bridesmaid dresses, the
mix-and-match approach is trending in popularity. Start by deciding on a color palette, such as lilac, champagne and petal pink. Then have each
bridesmaid choose her favorite style within that
range of hues. Bring it all together by choosing a
uniform look for makeup, shoes and accessories. There is no better time to thank the ladies than the morning of the big day. A few thoughtful gifts can go a long way, such as matching robes, tumblers to stay hydrated throughout the day and cosmetic cases to stow makeup essentials. Dressing the Gents Similar to bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen attire can be dependent on the venue and overall event aesthetic. While a suit can fit the bill for a country club wedding, a city affair may call for the sleek finishes of a tux. Tuxedo accessories, such as cuff links or bow ties, make great groomsmen gifts and are classic pieces they can use time and time again. Creating the Perfect Registry When building a registry, it’s never too early

“Lori and Molly were fantastic. It was hard to sell a home that we loved so much. Both ladies were so supportive through the whole process and responded to the needs of the entire family. Even though we were often across the country, we knew exactly what was happening with our property. Communication could not have been better.” Diane and Larry, Pewaukee We sold a condo in July and a home in December. Lori and Molly were extremely helpful through this very busy time! Although we have moved out of the area, we have recommended them to several neighbors who are considering selling their homes within the next year or two. They are a great team!
