I went on the DnD Paris Trip and was blown away because Jaap was able help me realize a cost saving of 1000 Euros with just one item. I was doing all the wrong things and by applying just one of his tips it worked to my favor. I will definitel use this idea again!-

My daughter and I went on the trip for a chance to learn but slso to have a great time before moving back to the US. In minutes we were wrapped up in  Jaap's  explanations. Because the course was informative but  not full of statistics and dates but real information we could apply while shopping that day immediately.i

"
We visited friends in Australia and after complimenting their collection of antiques, they volunteered that the only pieces that held the value according to what the dealer told them was that of Dutch & Dutch for a Dutch bombe chest of drawers."
--message relayed to DnD  3 yrs later 


We just moved into our house and wanted you to know that all of our antiques survived the move!--Tracy R
