I am with you she is educated she knows what she is talking about ! We had a lady appraise furniture and a lot of other stuff I can promise you the lady had know clue. She appraisered a buffet in perfect condition for 400.00 it was from the late 1800. We had to use the person the judge used I wish we could go back and say the main furniture we wanted Dr .Lori. I am heartbroken at the stuff that another family got to get cheap and have know kids to pass it down to. Sorry I am just really devastated!

@@ginascott5397 I'm sorry to hear your story. Unfortunately, it happens more than I'd like to say, but by sharing your story it can help others.

I did the same as you and stoped following a reseller, on KZfaq and Facebook. She is “Crazy “ lol .

Happy it helped!

I'm so glad you are learning. Please share links to the videos with others so they can benefit too!

She’s the best!! I absolutely love her!! The first video I saw if hers was one where a lady in the audience was saying she was expert in pottery, and Dr. Lori later in the video basically put her in her place, so to speak!! It was awesome!!

what a great comment! me too!

@@purplelove2863 lol, that was so funny!! She just keeps studying you can tell, and keeps up with things. Thank goodness for Dr Lori. I learn so much from these videos!!

Yes, I just saw the lady in the video completely disrespecting Dr Lori. So glad she put her in her place. That was just down right rude.

Sorry that happened to you, but thanks for sharing your story so others can understand :)

Glad you like them! Please share links on social media and groups so others can enjoy them too!

So nice of you and thanks for subbing and supporting the channel.

Happy to help! Please help me make more videos by sharing the ones you love. Post links to videos on social media and with friends :)

Happy to help! Keep watching the Ask Dr. Lori series as I reveal insider stories. Don't forget to share the videos with others so they can avoid the scams too :)

Glad it was helpful! Please share!

Love you! Thanks for watching. I can help identify and value the buttons if you want.

So glad! Please don't forget to share the videos!!

I'm so happy to help! Thanks for following and subbing for so long to the channel!

I am looking forward to the day when I can say this.

Good luck 🍀

There is a video on my website showing the appraisal and the wallet. Just go there and search for Washington

You are so welcome! Don't forget to share links with friends and groups so they can learn too!

you wrote: "all your criticism"... wow, I didn't realize i was getting criticized all so much. LOL Seriously, thanks for your kind words. I was picked on as a child, so I know how to handle the naysayers now that I'm all grown up. Thanks for watching the channel.

@@DrLoriV point taken...with the small amount of criticism We LOVE YOU for your generosity and education, it saved me a few hundred thousand in college..

Happy to hear you are enjoying the videos. If you want more videos you have to share them with others and subscribe to the channel. My time is limited as well as the budget for my staff. I need your simple support of sharing and subscribing to justify spending more time making more videos. Thanks for watching!

I've been lucky. The Jefferson Desk video is on KZfaq somewhere when I appraised it on the Discovery channel show Auction Kings.

Thanks for watching! Please share the videos you like with others :)

As always thanks Lori!!

I hope so too! You all can thank me by sharing links to my videos in your favorite social media groups. The more you share, the more videos I can make each week for everyone to watch.

Glad it was helpful!

Wow, thank you!

Thanks, you too! Please don't forget to share links to the videos you love on social media and in groups :)

Thanks for watching. I appreciate you too.

You are so welcome! As always nice to hear from you!!

Thank you very much! Yes, Auction Kings was a fun show. It still airs around the world. It first appeared on the Discovery channel.

Hope you enjoyed it!

@@DrLoriV I absolutely loved it, you look lovely today! I was a registered nurse in the early 90s when rheumatoid arthritis knocked me down. I got back up and began dealing in antiques, my second love. I could only afford used old price guides, but I read then like they were novels. I inherited old art pottery vases like McCoy, I would go to antique stores to feel and see the real thing. Even as a child I loved the old things in my grandparents and great grandparents houses, I wanted to see them close up and hold them. My first tiny antique booth was in the hallway of an antique mall in Forney, Texas, I quickly shot up to three large, prime booths. The bottom fell out of the market I Texas, I gave nearly everything away. I built a tiny house and opened an eBay store; this month marks my first year, I've done amazingly well in fine vintage Barbie, her clothes and accessories. I've added other vintage categories, nothing too much yet. I've not stopped all year, I have to put my shop on vacation just to get a rest. My passion for all things old won't let me rest long. I understand your passion very well. Maybe this quarter I'll break the bank; I'll rent us a protective bubble for two ol' birds on a cruise ship. We can kick back and drink drinks with umbrellas, talk about all the unbelievably awesome deals we've made. I'll be headed to your website soon, I need to get am appraisal on a washed ink art piece by Glenn Cravatt. I did find another that sold for 6 or 700.00 in the last few years. I need to leave this one to the expert! Thanks so much! I'm headed down the list! ~Tina

Decades of education and experience is how ... thanks for the support.

Thanks!

I appreciate that! Pleas don't forget to share the videos

Thanks for watching and your support! I help everyone out. Have you checked my Specials page on my website? You might find something there that you start. Video calls with me are a fun way too.

Thanks for watching! You are a treasure.

Thank you Dr.Lori❤️

Have you seen my online appraisal report option? If you item is not worth my appraisal fee, I tell you at no charge.

@@DrLoriV oh my gosh! 💕. Really want the unlimited plan so I can just ring you whenever I want just to chat, LOL! Our upbringings are so similar and you are my kind of people (hailing from NJ, now living in AZ), Italian, Catholic, the whole nine. It’s on my wish list, now just need to convince hubs. He’s all about appraisals for items in our home, but we have never appraised any of our thrift finds. You plan is worth every penny based on your knowledge. Soon, soon, soon. All the best for continued health and happiness. A loyal viewer.

What in particular did you love so I can try to add it to other videos?

Glad it was helpful! Please share the info/videos!

Yes, I've helped many artists over the years value their artwork and offer helpful advice. I have juried and curated may art exhibitions for museums.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm not sure if I have the time for that 16th direction :) I need everyone's support to keep new videos coming!!

@@DrLoriV Well, if you ever decide to slow down on one of your other 15...LOL This really is a fantastic idea nonetheless! It's a shame someone with the wherewithal can't get this project started. You'd want it to be someone knowledgeable, someone that loves helping others & they have the time. You fit 2 of the 3 criteria! Brilliant idea that I truly hope we see come to fruition because it would become a Godsend of a resource!!

You are so welcome! Don't forget to share the love/videos so others can enjoy them.

Happy to hear that! Please don't forget to share the videos so others can learn too.

Don't you love Kermit! I feature him soon in an upcoming video and I recently talked about him in a video on the channel here when I appeared on CBS TV in Pittsburgh, PA

And people say you can't get good deals at Goodwill anymore :) It's out there!

Thanks for watching! There are many opportunities in the arts and museums where you can learn. Have you read all the articles on my website? Watch my videos and start your own business.

I am trying very hard. It is my struggle. Thanks for your kind words. I will try to stray from the black clothes. I heard many negative comments about my red clothes but I like red.

Thanks for subbing and supporting the channel. Expert training, education and over 3 decades of experience! Know your sources when you do your research :)

Thanks for watching! I talk about price guides in detail in an article on my website. You can go there and search for "price guides". I also talk about them in one of the Ask Dr. Lori videos that has been posted or is coming up soon.

Yes, but just make sure that you don't sell those parts too low :)

I’m not gonna make a move Dr Lori until I hook up with You

Thanks for watching! Kermit will be featured in an upcoming video, maybe more since everyone seems to love him! I have an upcoming Ask Dr. Lori video answering a similar question about toys. Stay tuned!

Thanks! I offer many different appraisal options. All are outlined on my website including a Specials page for pricing :)

Thanks for sharing your story. Yes, that is what happens :)

Sounds like a question to be added to the bowl for a future Ask Dr. Lori vid.

@@DrLoriV Yes please would be so helpful

@@chrisoporto354 I also suggest a diamond tester on my website.

Have to see the "flaw" to verify what you really have. Marks/stamps are easily forged and other factors determine value.

@@DrLoriV Ok I will sign up and send in my photos. Thank you. Should I included other photos of other copies without the "flaw'?

@@fredyfinds Just start with your copy. If I need other information after your initial submission, I ask for it. Thanks

Many people use my online appraisal reports where I identify and verify pieces. You get it in writing from an expert.

Good question. I'll be happy to answer that during an upcoming live video stream. Make sure you subscribe to the channel and ring the bell to receive notifications or keep checking the Community tab for announcements.

My values are based on what I have seen people actually pay. I just don't throw numbers around. Have you seen my Real Bargains series of videos? Many of those items have been sold at my appraised values including a plate that sold for over $1,000. The plate was found at a yard sale for $1.

Thanks for watching! That is such a broad list of topics to cover. Plus I stress to learn to identify quality not marks. Marks are easily forged. Have you read all the articles on those topics on my website?

Also, try your library.. they have many Reference Books on antiques. My library is online and I can reserve books from other inter-connected libraries and pick up at my local. 💛🧡💛

@@jz333jz Make sure you know the source/author and their credentials. Is the book peer reviewed? I don't suggest price guides as a reference book.

Not use to being around people of Italian descent? :)

Dr. Lori , Um, no lol, must be something they do? Oh thank you for sharing. I love you and your videos! I wish I had thought about my wedding ring getting appraised before we had it sized. We bought it and just had them keep it to resize it, and I always wondered if they would have changed the diamonds it. It was quite an expensive ring too. I haven’t had it checked to make sure the prongs are ok, and wondering where do I send it, do you do it? And on average what is the cost of an appraisal? Thank you

@@purplelove2863 Thanks for watching! Try taking it to a gemologist who has all the equipment. Take it and watch them do it. Don't send or mail it :)

Lol I'm always waiting for her fling something off the table with those Italian talking hands, but she never does, I think I will die laughing the day it happens!!!

@@diggingmary129 Are you trying to jinx me?

Yes.

Thanks for watching. You're welcome to check out my bio on my website :)

If you want to know more about it, you can send me photos using my website or show me during a video call. Generally I don't rely on receipts. Often like a COA. Thanks for following and subbing!

@@DrLoriV thanks , I would absolutely love to hear you speak hopefully one day I live in Ontario Canada but would be more than happy to cross boarder after covid just to see your show. I love your expertise as well as your sense of humor. Take care and stay safe.

Send photos using the form on my website.

I can identify yours. You can send me photos or show me during video call.

I don't wear pants much even though they are comfy... i've got "thunder thighs" so I try to hide them. LOL

I have thunder thighs no matter what size. Lol 😂 I am. You look 👀 fabulous dear. On the plane ✈️ to Florida. I true snowbird

@@micdraperv Thanks! Stay safe out there :)

Hello. Hope you are watching all my vids.

I offer many options. See my website for details.

I have several options including Specials that I offer. Check out my website for details.

Value will depend on the book and it's condition. Everyone wants one answer for such broad questions and you just can't apply one answer fits all. I do answer a similar question in an upcoming Ask Dr. Lori video which may help shed some light for you. I'd have to see the books or any item for that matter since it is a case by case basis.

@@DrLoriV thank you so much! Maybe I should send you pictures of some that I have through your website. There is one that says it’s “rare” on google but I don’t trust google lol.

@@diggityd5856 I help resellers, buyers and repurposer!

Thanks sharing! You should find a jeweler you trust and get an updated appraisal on the ring you currently have.

@@DrLoriV Looking into getting one for sure. Kinda heartbroken. Thanks, Dr. Lori 🥰

@@karmaleenash2841 I know, sorry!

You can request a written online appraisal to start. The report I prepare includes a location where a similar piece sold and for how much. The terms of the appraisals are listed on my website for review.

Thank you Dr. Lori. I will do that.

Thanks for your comment. I am going to address this issue more fully in an upcoming video because COAs impact the appraised value and marketing techniques for buyers and sellers. More to come.

@@DrLoriV looking forward to it!

Why do you want to be in a group where you can't ask questions? I hope you don't feel bad about; you shouldn't.

@@DrLoriV exactly! It’s like saying my options don’t matter . You don’t get kicked out of a restaurant if you want to ask the chef where they studied culinary. Lol 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@diggityd5856 True, but I think of that soup guy on Seinfeld, he'd kick you out :)

@@DrLoriV lmao!!! Yes love that episode! 😂😂

a puzzle/game

You can send me photos using a form on my website or show me the dolls during a video call.

Yes, add a photo to the appraisal.

So if I purchased a.....let’s say a Nippon Vase. I get it appraised by the one and only Dr. Lori, I get the appraisal back and see all the details and the value. When I go to sell the vase, when I list it I should add a photo of the appraisal as well then?

@@BrandonCiCi My appraisal reports include a location where a similar piece actually sold and for how much. For example one person used it to sell their plate for $1,000. They bought it at a yard sale for $1. Of course use several photos if you can.

@@DrLoriV I understand that part but I’m asking after an item gets appraised is it ok to post a photo of the appraisal when selling the item so the potential buyer can see the appraisal or is that not a good idea. I hope that’s more clear of a question. Sorry for the confusion if any.

@@BrandonCiCi No problem. Why would you think it's not a good idea?

I feature him in an upcoming video :)

Dr. Lori oh sweet!

People use my online appraisal reports to help them sell their items. The reports include a location where a similar piece sold and for how much. Where to sell depends on many factors.

Check out my website for details.

Thanks for watching! Yes, I talk about this a few times in videos on the channel. Sorry don't know which video :)

I typed a small paragraph to you about my art plate pictures from 1881, and I don't know what happened to it, so I won't tell so much information anymore. However, I may call video call you for an appraisal on three different items

You can search my channel and my website too :)

@@torribeard5947 Yes, the video calls are popular, I can help!
