<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 160667, member: 1262&quot;]Hey folks,</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought that this could a fun topic. To participate just post some random bits of wisdom that you have picked up while antiquing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll start with the importance of being very selective in what you purchase, for your personal collections and especially if you are looking to resell. In developed nations like the U.S. people have accumulated massive amounts of stuff over the past few generations and as baby boomers liquidate their holdings there is large surplus of items looking for new homes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over the past 15 years of attending estate auctions I&#039;ve seen that surplus and the grim reality that there is a lot of stuff out there that nobody wants. Changing demographics and millennial tastes are only part of the problem, the other part is that there is so much accumulated stuff out there that the secondhand/antique market is seriously oversaturated. Many people have their garages and basements full of unneeded junk and just because it is cheap and available doesn&#039;t mean you should consider buying it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
