<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lulululu, post: 41781, member: 431&quot;]A mix of good old and not so good/recent can also mean the collector recieved gifts from well meaning parties who either didn&#039;t know or didn&#039;t care about quaity or history and was too polite to get rid of those items. There are also cases of collectors who, as they become elderly and lose both vision and mental faculties, begin to add in any old thing. As a life long (and 3rd generation) antique collector, I am wary of rules like the one you cite, because there are exceptions. Yes, it should factor into your assessment, but so should the fact that human nature does not drive us to behave identically. If the price was good, you were right to consider this possibility, but buy it anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
