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 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.
