The truck comes Tuesday. Most of what's worth money will be on it.

Forty-five years clearing estates across upstate New York and New England. This is what I look for, room by room, and every dollar figure in it names the saleroom that sold it and the day it went.

Right oncepays for this book

Your house won't be that house. Most of what comes out of any house is thirty to eighty dollar goods, and I say so on page 121 before I say anything else. But you only need to be right once, and you can only be right if you looked.

What's inside

Twenty-two chapters across ten rooms. Every object chapter runs the same six beats: what the ordinary one looks like, what the exception looks like, the names that carry money, what one actually sold for and where, the twenty-second check you run with the thing in your hand, and what ruins it.

And that's a fraction of it. 126 pages, and every figure names the saleroom that sold it and the date.

The part that makes this different

I'd rather print less and be right.

Most of what you'll read about old things carries a number and no source. Somebody heard it. Somebody's uncle sold one. Even the honest ones give you a range, which is a way of saying nobody wrote it down.

Every figure in this book traces to a completed sale, with the saleroom named, the lot given and the exact date printed. Over a hundred of them, listed in the back, so you can go and look them up yourself before you trust a word I've said.

Where I couldn't confirm a figure, the object is still in the book and the number isn't.

Gideon Marsh

I've packed out more kitchens than I can count. Utica, Herkimer, Glens Falls, Saratoga, Cooperstown. Families call me when somebody's died or gone into care and the house has to be empty by a date.

I'm not a dealer and I don't buy from the houses I clear. What I've watched, for forty-five years, is people throwing out things worth more than the truck they hired, and finding out afterwards. It never stops being sad.

I won't tell you there's a fortune in your cellar. Most of it is thirty dollar goods and I'd rather say that on the first page than the last. I'll tell you exactly what to look at, what the mark should read, and what one sold for and when.

I'm Gideon Marsh. Mind how you go.

Straight answers

Is a paper book coming in the post?
No, and I'd sooner say it twice than have you watching the mailbox. It's a PDF. Nothing ships. About thirty seconds after you pay it's on your phone. Print the pages you want for the cellar; the rest lives in your pocket where you can search it with the thing in your hand.
I'm not good with computers.
You press one button and it opens like a photograph opens. No account, no password. If it gives you trouble, write in and we'll sort it or refund you. You won't be left holding it.
Will you charge me again?
No. One payment. No membership, no monthly anything, no trial that turns into a bill.
What if I lose the file?
The link lives in your email, so that's the thing to keep. If it's gone, put your email into the download page and it comes back.
Is this a price list?
No. Lists go stale and then they lie to you. This teaches you to read the object, the mark, the construction, the condition, so you can judge something that isn't in the book at all. The sales in the back are evidence, not a promise.
Will it make me money?
I won't sell you that. Most of what comes out of a house is thirty to eighty dollars and page 121 says so before I show you a single exception. What this does is stop you giving away the one thing that wasn't.
Why isn't all this in your videos?
Some of it, a piece at a time. But you can't scroll through forty videos in a cellar with a torch in one hand and your brother waiting on the stairs. This is the whole of it in one file, in order, and you can search it.
Do I need to know anything already?
Not a thing. Chapter one builds the words the rest of the book speaks in. Read it first and the rest follows.
I'm not clearing a house. I've just got an attic.
Then it's arranged the right way for you. The book goes by room, not by occasion.
