There are a lot of dealers who sell at all levels from yard sales up to high end antique shows that have an over inflated view of their items. They would much rather hold out for the almighty dollar rather than sell the item for a reasonable price &amp; move on to something else.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see this a good deal at antique shops where the merchandise has been sitting for so long you can no longer read the tag because it is so faded. I refer to those place as antique museums because they obviously do not want to sell their items or they would have been marked down long ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>This may because they paid too much for the item in the beginning or maybe they believe what they saw in a book regarding the worth of their item or in some cases they saw an appraisal of a similar item &amp; decided theirs was equally as valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
