<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 2517928, member: 1262&quot;]In film and in literature you always hear about antique dealers going on buying trips for weeks and sometimes months at a time, far away from their base of operations, sometimes in other countries. One of the common destinations always mentioned was the U.K. because I assume that due to their longer history they have larger accumulations of older items and thus lower prices for common run of the mill antiques which are more desirable, valuable when shipped back to the states. Another assumption that I&#039;m going to make is that the internet and eBay have diminished the &quot;buying trip&quot; since prices are more &quot;nationalized&quot; and uniform so there isn&#039;t as much benefit in going out to smaller cities and the countryside, buying a bunch of antiques and then carting them back to the bigger city that has stronger demand and a better market for such antiques. So back to the original question:</p><p><br /></p><p>Do Some Antique Dealers Still Go On Buying Trips? Additionally is there still significant benefit in doing so?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
