Best Antique Buyers in Bradenton, FL

Welcome to the home of Sarasota Antique Buyers of Bradenton.  With over 22 years in the field, we are one of the most experienced and knowledgeable antique dealers and sellers in Florida.  We know that collecting and valuing historic items requires patience and a passion for the trade, as well as extensive knowledge on the subject.  Every piece has its own story to tell, which is what we attempt to do for each of our clients. Sarasota Antique Buyers of Bradenton specializes in almost all areas, eras, and art forms.  Whether you are looking to sell a sterling silver tea set, or an Asian bronze figurine, we want to buy your antiques!

Determining Value for Bradenton Clients

We frequently meet with clients that think their historical item has no value, simply because it appears visually unappealing, or they feel that it is no longer in style.  In fact, this is how many valuable pieces are “discovered” at yard sales and the like, and sold for pennies on the dollar.  Don’t undervalue the piece you’re looking to sell; send us a picture of it, or come visit us to get more information! How do we determine how much an antique is worth?  We’ll first look at the condition of the item.  If there are still many versions in circulation, then a perfect condition piece can hold much more value over the more common, damaged ones.  Depending on the item, even those in rough shape can hold tremendous value if there are few surviving copies which are in high demand. We also consider the age of an item, as well as its rarity, and the artist or company who produced it.
