We held these for about five years, then the traffic started making the
endeavor too expensive.  We have a problem with recognition from the
street, so its hard for people to find us.

I'm at a state university, absolutely no appraisal or profit from
appraisal.  We had experts in artifact types come, help identify and date,
and then suggested appraisers to call if they wished.

Let me know if you want more information.
