At Hanifin’s Arts and Antiques we really enjoy selling nice things to our wonderful customers. We work to make each deal a fair deal. We also like to give things away. We generally give to donations of antiques and other merchandise to all local charities and civic organizations for their silent auctions and raffles. We have sponsored eight children from around the world through World Vision for the past 12 years. You can see photos of the kids we have “adopted” on the walls of my office. We feel very lucky and thankful to be doing business in Carson City. We’re certainly not rich financially but we are grateful to all of the kind people who have kept us afloat over the last 20 years.

If you wish to buy antiques at our store we can often arrange shipping locally or across the country. We usually deliver locally to Lake Tahoe, Gardnerville, Reno and Sacramento using my truck. If you are out of our range we can usually arrange very competitive shipping quotes using insured and reliable trucking companies. We can place your items on pallets or shrink wrap your antiques so that they ship comfortably and safely. We haven’t lost anything in 20 years. If we ship out of state you are not required to pay Nevada State Sales Tax, which will often save you a substantial amount (7.475 %).

At Hanifin’s Arts and Antiques we regularly provide appraisal services. We often are asked by insurance customers or insurance companies to determine the values of antiques, art and other personal property. We have been very successful in helping establish the values of objects that have been lost or damaged.
In determining the values of objects we sometimes establish the fair market value of an object or the replacement value of an item. The fair market value is usually about one-half of the replacement cost. The replacement cost is the value that insurance companies use in determining how much you should insure you coin collections, paintings and other valuables. The fair market value of an object is how much money you can get for an object in open market in a relatively brief period.
Michael Robbins(me) is the owner of Hanifin’s Antiques and I am the prime appraiser. I can visit your home and give a written appraisal of your antiques, art and other personal property. Often I will make a digital record of your possessions on a CD disc made of your photos. You can store your photos and written evaluations in a safe place in case of loss. I will also give you a written statement detailing your valuables. The rate for these services is $60.00 an hour. Much of the time involved in writing an appraisal is in the research especially for rare and expensive antiques. Due to the fact that we monitor dozens of auctions and websites that sell antiques we have a good general knowledge of antique values. So, our experience will save you time and money.
If we don’t have immediate knowledge of your items value we can often consult with our colleagues to determine a close approximation of value.
