"We are very pleased about our partnership with Grogan & Company," said Will Seippel, CEO and Chairman of WorthPoint. "With this new relationship, we add the sales of fine art, decorative arts, silver, and antiques to our database, from the experts at Grogan's.

It helps collectors share their insights, knowledge and build collecting communities. WorthPoint fills an information void for these collectors by helping them understand the history and worth of their items and provides expert advice on how to preserve these items. WorthPoint also serves as a front end, to monetize them, whether this is for its own web site or at its partner auction houses or eBay or other online sites.
