Wrapping antigues up

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if I could wrap antiques in plastic or something to protect

myself from possible toxins coming from them. I'm afraid they are too valuable

to pitch out. I will look for antique dealer. There are alot of them. I

checked into storage lockers but I can't find anything lower than $50 a month to

store and that is too much for me right now with all the other health care

expenses I have had.

Do you have a friend with a garage who might be willing to help you out?

Wrapping them in plastic sounds toxic too...and doesn't seem like it would be

all that effective, and not at all good for the furniture, but I'm certainly no

expert. It seems best to get away from them if possible. (But don't listen to

me, as I had to pitch most of my stuff out and then gave a lot to charity...)

If nothing else, can you at least keep your windows open or move them all to one

or two rooms and close the doors until you get someone to pick them up? Another

thought is you could do consignment or possibly call in an estate sale person or

just do an open house sale. Put an ad in the paper. But don't be there alone.

Have friends over. Call all dealers in your town and have them come at one day

at one time and then let them make written offers and the best offer wins.at the

end of the time period of say 7:00 - noon. I've a friend who did estate sales

for years, so these ideas are just off the top. Hope this helps.
