Remember, they're only worth what someone is willing to pay, so don't overvalue them. It's probably in your best interest to sell first, then split whatever they bring. Your ex may think they're worth more than you can actually get. Hoping for the best for you, Sharon C.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Page Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 8:57 AM To: Historical Costume List Subject: [h-cost] Valuation of collection Hello everyone, The divorce saga continues. Ugh. My collection is large enough that it's going to wind up on the inventory list for the division of assets. Oh joy. I have to reduce my collection to a bunch of numbers. Some of these things were for my personal collection and thus I never bothered to count hours put in, so I have NO clue what I would valuate them at. Trying to do searches on various costuming sites is proving very lengthy and tedious - time I just don't have since I am scrambling to rebuild myself enough to find a job (anyone having leads for a lowly costumer in dire need of a place to work, do let me know!) and keep up with my soon-to-be- ex's demanding schedule. Apparently I should be waking up one morning totally over it and greeting him at the door like my best buddy already. Then again twelve years of his life was a complete waste of time to him. So much for memories. Getting on with it, I was hoping that everyone as costumers would be willing to throw your opinions - they don't have to be vastly detailed, just a round number - on what these items are worth on the market. Some of them already have a valuation, which you will see - these ones I did count, and are very flexible now. The numbers merely represent actual hours and actual materials costs - I charged myself out $10.00/hr. I am sitting here right now as I type - well, you know what I mean. ;-) putting up measurements for those whom have contacted me with interest for my pieces. That will give you a start on your decision making process. Anything I plan on keeping is marked "not for sale". But, if you like it just that much, we can talk. Thanks for your patience with the harried, rather miserable creature that I am, Kathy ~He didn't think the bed prank was as funny as I did. But it was very satisfying!~ Ermine, a lion rampant tail nowed gules charged on the shoulder with a rose Or barbed, seeded, slipped and leaved vert (Fieldless) On a rose Or barbed vert a lions head erased gules.

They can only assist you in denying who you are, but not indelibly reshape you to their own image. Be smarter than spam.
