    I'm sure every antique collector looks for incorrectly listed treasures in their field, what makes a good antique collector is having as many fields as they can, I now just look for quality, high end craftsmanship and expensive materials or expensive hardwear. The only thing that stops everybody doing this is fakes and reproductions, you have got to know what's right, that's where the years of learning about antiques comes in.
    My brother once said to me "surely these sellers know what they have" when I told him I bought a valuable antique for little money, he was convinced he knew what he had and what it was worth, I asked him to go through his record collection that he had had since he was young and pull out the records that were worth over £50, he said "good point" lol
