DISCOVERY

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.

DISCOVERY

The long-term goal of the Escobar App is to become the leading global platform for online auctions dedicated to antique dealers, revolutionizing the way rare and valuable items are bought, sold, and authenticated. Over the next 5-10 years, Escobar aims to establish itself as a trusted and go-to marketplace that connects antique dealers, collectors, and enthusiasts from around the world, fostering a vibrant community centered around the appreciation of historical and cultural artifacts.
