<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 9558845, member: 4654&quot;]I think most people in here would agree that when they first started collecting antiques they bought low end cheaper items and now they wish they had more space. If I could give any advice it would be buy the very best you can afford even if that means buying less, in time you will still fill the spaces. I have 2 shelves filled with stuff that I wish I had never bought, I do mean to sell them but never get round to it. Fortunately you have the internet now so looking up anything to find the very best is easy, I know that sounds silly because the internet has been around for decades but for more obscure items (like I collect) the info wasn&#039;t there a few years ago. Oh, that is also a good tip, try and find something that not many people know about and do loads of research, Islamic stuff, Spanish, and Indian can all fetch silly money if you know what your buying. Most antique collectors and dealers wouldn&#039;t know any of these items if they had them in their hand and so these things can go through auctions (ebay) for a song. <a href="http://islamicartsmagazine.com/magazine/view/explore_the_arts_of_the_islamic_world_india/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://islamicartsmagazine.com/magazine/view/explore_the_arts_of_the_islamic_world_india/" rel="nofollow">http://islamicartsmagazine.com/magazine/view/explore_the_arts_of_the_islamic_world_india/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
