This is an excellent e-Book
for anyone who is interested in buying/selling antiques.
This E-Book provides the information you need to start dealing in antiques. Here
is an exert from the opening paragraph.
Are you aware of all the money
being made on eBay and other sites selling antiques and collectibles? You can't
help but notice. And maybe you were a little envious or frustrated because they
knew something you didn’t. Well I'm here to tell you that these people were not
born with any special intrinsically knowledge of the antique and collectible
trade. It's learned behavior as they say.
Go ask any person in the
antique and collectible business if they have ever been burned buying a
reproduction (repro) and the first thing you'll notice is a sheepish little grin
start to emerge. Then ask them if they have ever sold a reproduction and that
grin will turn to an uncomfortable swallow.
Reproductions are the bane of
the industry. Some are obvious fakes, others are so good they can and do fool
the experts. I thought it best to start with this subject for a couple of
reasons, to keep you from getting burned and to keep you from inadvertently
burning someone else.
Question: If these
reproductions can fool even the experts how can a novice have a chance? Ah, I'm
glad you asked that question, grasshopper. The simple answer is they are not all
good reproductions. Only the most expensive items in the trade are worthy of the
time and effort it takes to make a good reproduction. The rest of them are for
the most part made in China and you can tell it with a few exceptions.
If a person trades in the
bread and butter items of the industry, he can, using common sense and a basic
understanding of a few things and avoid most problems. This e-book will show you
how.
