<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 317349, member: 6444&quot;]Came across this site and was impressed by the level of knowledge. I have been on another antique site for a couple years but it seems that the members there with few exceptions have very little experience with antiques, and are basically just moderately good googlers. I think I have some interesting things to show and will try to do so soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had the antique bug for decades starting when we were furnishing our house, but didn&#039;t have time to do much more antique hunting until my kids had grown up. The market has changed a lot (in a downward direction) since we were furnishing our house thirty years ago, so I&#039;m glad we didn&#039;t go overboard with our purchases back then, because I see a lot now at much more reasonable prices so I upgrade when I find something really nice. I live in the Boston area, and there are still a lot of nice old antiques kicking around, which keeps me on the hunt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I&#039;m out there looking anyway, and since I run across a lot of good stuff cheap in the process, I started selling mainly MCM furniture at a local antique mall - I sell mostly MCM because this seems to attract a lot more buyers. I buy cheap mostly damaged that aren&#039;t attractive to others and fix/restore as needed, so I have a lot of experience repairing and refinishing. So besides early american furniture, I&#039;ve handled a lot of MCM, and have been learning all I can about metals (I have a lot of antique brass, pewter, silver); ceramics, glass and artwork. And Asian objects, etc, etc. Oh and I was a drummer in a punk band many moons ago so I also know a lot about vintage drums (and thus my name).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
