This eBook provides the information you
need to start dealing in antiques. Here is an excerpt
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 intrinsic knowledge of the antique
and collectible trade. It's learned behaviour 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.
