As Doorstop Vase Sells for $1 Million, SuperiorMaker Highlights a Humble Device

Aug 31, 2016

A tiny investment into doorstops for home or office can produce huge returns of convenience, savings, safety, and more, SuperiorMaker reports

DALLAS - August 31, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

Earlier this summer, a family in Birmingham, England received nearly $1 million at auction for an heirloom that had been used as a doorstop for decades. While not every doorstop will command such a price, simple devices of this kind often have a lot more value than most suppose. As home accessory supplier SuperiorMaker is demonstrating in a new public awareness campaign, affordable, high-quality doorstops like those available http://www.amazon.com/SuperiorMaker-Surfaces-Including-Carpet-Securely/dp/B00MC4NL7G can easily prove their worth in everyday life and repay the investments made into them many times over.

"It can be easy to fall into habits that end up being much less than optimal, and many people endure far too much inconvenience, stress, and trouble, as a result," SuperiorMaker representative Phillip Donaldson said, "Sometimes taking a step back and thinking about how to better address common, everyday challenges proves to be among the most valuable things a person can do. Many of our customers have written us, for example, about how simply buying a value pack of our high quality doorsteps made their lives easier in a number of ways. While they might not fetch a million dollars at auction, our doorstops can be a lot more valuable than many people would assume."

At an auction held in England earlier this year, an eighteenth-century Chinese vase that had been used as a domestic doorstop for many years sold for a record-breaking £650,000. Having been employed in such a practical fashion for decades, the unassuming-looking vase provided plenty of value to the family that owned it in the process, even before it stood atop the auctioneer's block.

As a newly initiated superiormaker public awareness campaign points out, the right kinds of doorstops can provide service the value of which exceeds by many times the cost of acquiring them. Whether by keeping a door held open for a pet to come and go; to help with ventilation when the weather is right; or to make it easier to move groceries and other bulky items in and out of a home, a good doorstep can be one of the most useful and valuable home accessories of all, while also being incredibly affordable.

Even when the value of a doorstop might feel like a figurative "million bucks," the cost need never be more than even those entirely bereft of rare, antique vases can afford. With top-quality SuperiorMaker doorstops available now at Amazon at the low, limited-time price of $9.99 for a value pack of four, it has never been more affordable to equip a home or office with a set of accessories that can make life easier and more enjoyable for anyone.
