ANTIQUES
ROAD SHOW: WHAT ARE YOUR TREASURES WORTH? In this session
Professional Appraiser Michael Ivankovich will introduce you to
the concept of "Value"…and reveal what your Antiques,
Collectibles, and Personal Treasures are really worth today. Each
attendee is invited to bring in one item for Mike to appraise.
HOME
DOWNSIZING IN 4 EASY STEPS: You've spent a lifetime accumulating
antiques, collectibles, and other household contents. Now you
are ready to downsize your home. What do you do with the items
that you or no longer want or need? In this presentation Michael
will show you how you can sell your excess personal property for
the greatest amount of cash…with the least amount of work…in
the shortest amount of time...in today's rapidly changing market.
SELLING
GOLD OR SILVER? HOW THE SCRAP PRECIOUS METALS GAME IS REALLY PLAYED:
Before you rush out and scrap your family heirlooms … BEWARE!!!
You had better understand "How the Scrap Gold & Sterling
Silver Game is Really Played" because if you are not extremely
careful, the windfall you are expecting may end up in the dealer's
pocket, and not yours. In this session Michael will share a 5-step
approach to understanding how to sell your precious metals for
the most money possible.
25
AREAS GUARANTEED TO DISAPPOINT WHEN SELLING YOUR HOUSEHOLD "STUFF".
In this session Mike will explain why many of the things you own
may be worth much less than you thought. But don't despair because
he'll also reveal those categories that are probably worth more
than you expected.
GOING
ONCE! GOING TWICE! SOLD! LET'S HAVE AN AUCTION: In this session
Michael will take you from the earliest beginnings of the Auction
Industry to the state-of-the-art 21st century Auction technology.
Never been to an Auction? That will change after this presentation
when Michael conducts a live Auction for your group. He'll bring
some actual tangible items that he will "Sell" to you
via the Auction Method of Selling. But you can leave your purse
or wallet at home because Michael will also give you some "Michael
Money'" which you can spend at this Auction. Auctions are
meant to be fun and in this session Michael will show you how
much fun Auctions can be.
FUNDRAISING
AUCTION SECRETS: HOW TO RUN HIGHLY PROFITABLE FUNDRAISING AUCTIONS:
A primary objective of most non-profit and civic groups is to
raise as much money as possible to support their favorite causes.
With today's soft economy many are turning to Fundraising Auctions
in order to raise the additional needed funds. And for good reason
because a well-run Fundraising Auction can raise tens-of-thousands
of dollars in a single night…if it's done right. In this
session Professional Fundraising Auctioneer Michael Ivankovich
will introduce you to the important elements needed to run highly
profitable Fundraising Auctions.
NEW
IN 2013: IS THAT ALL MY DINING ROOM IS WORTH? All too often
our children don't have the same tastes that we did . In this
presentation Michael will explain which of your dining room contents
can be extremely valuable, and which are probably worth a whole
lot less than you thought.
NEW
IN 2013: 50 THINGS NEARLY EVERY HOME CAN THROW AWAY...TODAY!:
Most of us have become "hoarders" of one sort or another.
In this light and fun session Michael will share with you 50 things
you can probably throw away as soon as you hear this presentation.
