Anyone into antiques? Need some advice/options

[swatcop169]

I've got a shoot tomorrow for a local business owner. He has come into some old wood carvings that was done by a member of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians. The guy has since passed away and the local business owner has had these carvings apprasied, they are worth about 1.5-2 million dollars according to the appraisal by the appraisalee.

He had been offered close to that by the Eastern Band, but wants to sell them on a site like ebay. Anyone know a good site to list these carvings other then ebay? If not I'm going to help setup the account on ebay tomorrow. Just trying to do alittle research and maybe find a more one on one approach to selling these carvings.

I certainly wouldn't have a transaction for millions happen with ebay. Imagine the fees! Imagine the SCAMS!

He should sell to the Cherokees. Much more reputable people. ;-)

I've found to very large auction houses that deal only in arts. So we'll see how that goes.

That's the way. ;-)

I would contact some museums... see if there's any interest.

Yeah...gotta get to a BIG museum, though. Smaller ones look for things to be donated.
