Question by jaw208: What are the best sources for pricing and/or selling antique furniture and other home decor peices?
My grandmother has a number of large furniture pieces and home decor items which we would like to sell. Most of the furniture pieces are large wooden items that were handmade. Other than hauling these things to the Antique Roadshow tv program or trolling ebay.com, where can we look to price and/or directly sell these items? We would even be willing to have someone come in to look at all the pieces.

You can hire an appraiser. Best way to do that would be to contact an antique store that you are comfortable with and ask them if they could recommend one.
Ebay is only one spot – you can search the internet generally and use the ‘images’ in google to see if you can find something similar to what you have.

Find a good auctioneer in your area. They can appraise and set up an auction to sell your merchandise.
Check out http://www.auctionzip.com for auctioneer’s in your area.
I think you can advertise on craigslist.org and have somebody come over and pick them up.
or you can advertise on greensheet.
