Visiting the Treasure Hunters Roadshow? Here's What to Expect

Coming to Your Town!

Dan Reveal
It's always fun to see the advertisements in the newspaper that the Treasure Hunters Roadshow is coming to your city.

According to these full page newspaper advertisements, the Treasure Hunters Roadshow is generally, though temporarily, set up at established locations like a Holiday Inn.

It is open to the public for certain days at certain times.

Like a traveling pawn shop, the Treasure Hunters Roadshow lets you bring out all those dusty items from your attic and sell them at a fair price.

How it Works

You can expect your visit to the Treasure Hunters Roadshow to be interesting, if not profitable.

The process begins with you deciding what valuables you are willing to part with. As you walk into the roadshow with no appointment necessary, a group of experts who specialize in antiques, collectible items, and gold and silver will offer some good advice on why some things are more valuable than others.

Old coins, for example, that are dated before 1964, are most sought after by collectors because they are 90% silver.

With your collectible item sitting there, these Treasure Hunters Roadshow experts consult a database on a laptop computer.

If a buyer for the item exists, this buyer will show up in the database 90% of the time. Once the expert sees what is offered for what you've brought in, you will be given 100% of this offer.

There are no undisclosed costs at the Treasure Hunters Roadshow.

What They Buy

You can expect your visit to the Treasure Hunters Roadshow to be most profitable once you realize what they buy.

A rule of thumb here is that the roadshow will accept anything that's old. However, this doesn't mean that you will necessarily get a lot of money for what you've found in your attic.

It's important, therefore, to bring in items that are most likely to earn a profit.

Along with the old coins that are mostly silver, the Treasure Hunters Roadshow is looking for gold and silver jewelry, watches, antique toys, trains, and dolls, and old military souvenirs such as guns and swords.
In sum, it's always fun to see the newspaper advertisement that the Treasure Hunters Roadshow is coming to your town.

When visiting there, you can expect to find expert advice about the things you find in your attic.

Depending on the value to buyers who are found in the collectors database, you can also expect to earn a good profit for your old swords, coins, dolls, and so forth.

Remember, 100% of this money is yours to keep.
