You Own an Old Item That You Think is Valuable and Would Like to Sell. Write a letter to the owner of an antique shop. In your letter
- Explain how you found the shop
- Describe the item that you would like to sell
- Say how much you would like to sell the item for
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you as I came across your antique shop while exploring the city. I was impressed by the collection of rare and unique items that you have on display. It seems to me that you have a keen eye for valuable antiques.
I would like to offer you an antique that I believe to be of great value. It is a rare, old gramophone that has been in my family for generations. The gramophone is still in working condition and comes with a collection of vinyl records from the 1920s and 1930s.
I am interested in selling the gramophone and its collection of records for a fair price. I am hoping to get $500 for it. I understand that you may need to inspect the gramophone before making an offer, and I am willing to bring it to your shop at a time that is convenient for you.
The gramophone is a family heirloom, but I have decided to sell it as I am in need of funds for personal reasons. I believe that it would make a great addition to your antique collection, and I am confident that you will be able to find a buyer who will appreciate its historical value.
Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing the gramophone and if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Raj Pai
Sample 2 You Own an Old Item That You Think is Valuable and Would Like to Sell
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this letter to express my interest in selling an antique item that I have come across. I was referred to your antique shop by one of my friends who has been a regular customer of your store.
The item that I would like to sell is an old grandfather clock that has been in my family for generations. It is a beautiful piece of furniture that has been well-maintained over the years. The clock is made of solid oak and has a beautiful carved design on it. The clock face has Roman numerals and the hands are made of brass. The clock is in working condition and has been recently serviced.
I am sure that this clock would be of interest to your customers and I would like to sell it for a fair price. After researching the market, I am hoping to sell it for $1500.
Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing this item. If you would like to see the clock in person, I would be happy to bring it to your store for inspection.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Nandini
