In addition to admiring art and purchasing, shoppers are encouraged to bring one item for appraisal by a Worthologist, who help people to value, preserve and sell their valuables. The Worthologists are present at the show thanks to one of its platinum sponsors, WorthPoint, and they will provide the item the consumers bring unbiased and expert opinions and evaluations and assign it a fair market value.
