Want to know the value of your attic treasures?

Are you cleaning out a relative’s house or maybe downsizing your possessions? Want to know what that sideboard or antique scale is worth? The Greensboro Public Library now offers a database that can help you answer those questions.

p4A is a completely independent reference service used by America's leading appraisers, auctioneers, dealers, collectors and museums throughout the United States. The database offers unique advantages not found anywhere else on the web:

• Every record in the database has at least one picture making it easier to determine if the item you are viewing is similar to what you are researching.

• Every record in the database is compiled by a human editor, not digitally accumulated en masse.

• Each record is presented in a standardized format with description, provenance, condition, dimensions, pre-sale estimates, price realized, date of sale and auction house information.

• Nearly 90% of the information in the p4a database is totally unique and not found anywhere else on the web.

• Categories of items listed include advertising memorabilia, books, bottles and other types of glass, crafts and folk art, dolls, furniture, paintings and much more.
