Appraisals with George Higby

Appraisals with George Higby

Michelle Passoff introduces Decluttering 55 Plus, a platform for baby boomers to navigate life changes through decluttering. She emphasizes that clutter isn't just physical but also a mental barrier to moving forward. In her discussion, she welcomes George Higby, a certified appraiser known for The Antique Nomad YouTube channel, to provide insights on identifying and selling valuable items.


George explains the role of an appraiser, how value varies depending on the context (insurance, estate sales, etc.), and the importance of documentation for collectibles. He highlights that market trends fluctuate—what's valuable today may not be tomorrow. He advises selling high-demand items, like petroliana and art glass, while avoiding outdated categories. For downsizers, he recommends consulting an appraiser before discarding items.
