[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 12906187, member: 2844"]On antiques it is not recommended, because you have to see the natural patina and/or wear to see if it is a genuine antique and not a fake. Also, you have to be able to judge the condition before you buy. Does it need a lot of work, can I do it myself or do I have to pay a fortune to have it done? But you sell vintage items, not antiques. That is another market altogether. I guess there it depends on the kind of item/material and the intended buyers. You attract buyers on the Socials, and I guess many of those are young people who think dust means age. Of course it doesn't, anything can become very dusty in a couple of weeks, at least in my house.;) I can understand that point of view. But in the end it is your choice, and if you sell well to people who like dusty items, I say go for it.[/QUOTE]
