The store has been a vibrant part of the local, regional, and national antiques and collectables markets ever since and has recently segued to a strictly on-line selling platform. Many of the experts that Michael once relied upon as his source of market valuation now rely upon him and seek his expert opinion as he has handled, evaluated, and liquidated a diverse and voluminous portfolio of antiques and collectibles over the past decade. The Vintage Vault has been featured in newspaper and magazine articles numerous times.
