<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 18707, member: 37&quot;]Good article that points to the core of what makes a successful dealer. A long time antique dealer once told me that there was at least one sleeper in every shop that money could be made on. For the most part, I have found this to be true. Unfortunately, these days, there are quite a few shops where everything is junk <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think sleepers can be regional. Here in the land where primitives and country is king, it is easy to find good MCM that no one cares about. The local population, for the most part, could care less about art. This, despite having a major university with an active art department that has hosted many prominent artists through the years. Apparently, people in New Jersey have a disdain for Asian antiques. </p><p><br /></p><p>It all boils down to knowing more than the other guy/gal searching along with you. Whether this knowing is the ability to follow a hunch or learned knowledge, really makes little difference. Once the object is in your hands, you have the opportunity to capitalize on that under-appreciated item that others overlooked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
