Antique dealers face significant challenges in sourcing, authenticating, and selling unique items due to limited access to trusted networks, inefficient communication with buyers and sellers, and a lack of streamlined inventory management. The absence of a centralized platform makes it difficult for dealers to showcase their collections, reach a wider audience, and verify the authenticity of antiques, leading to missed opportunities and potential revenue loss. Escobar aims to solve these issues by providing an all-in-one platform designed specifically for antique dealers, offering secure trading, expert authentication, and a curated marketplace to connect with global collectors and buyers efficiently.
