Antique Buying TipsBefuddled by antique shows, dealers and auctions? Here are a couple pointers to bear in mind when you're looking for that perfect item! Research first, then shop. Learn as much as you can about what you'd like to collect. Use books, the internet and experienced dealers as resources. Shop prepared! Bring a measured floorplan and photos of your home to make sure the antique pieces will fit there. Carefully inspect objects for damage not immediately apparent - items in poor condition are very hard to resell. Decide ahead of time how much you're willing to spend at an auction so you don't get carried away while bidding. |
Watch Out Antique Shoppers...Be careful about buying antiques with flaws you think you can fix. Imperfect antiques are often worth a lot less. Something that looks like deal can turn out to not be a deal when you factor in time and restoration costs. Once in a while you may find something worth fixing, but try to keep it to a minimum.
