<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 90668, member: 308&quot;]I&#039;m actually having a little luck with more recently produced pottery.&nbsp; Marshall Studios, Turtle Creek, and Louisville Stoneware have all surprised me recently.&nbsp; I have picked up all three brands very cheap when they show up at local auctions and turn them for a nice profit.&nbsp; Granted they don&#039;t sell for three figures but still, if I can pick an item up for $5 and sell it for $40 I&#039;m a happy camper.&nbsp; So I&#039;ve started to pay more attention to the decorator market.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do agree it&#039;s impossible to sell almost any pottery through a mall space.&nbsp; A lot of pottery sales around here were to out of state dealers who were able to mark up further and resell.&nbsp; Those folks are gone.&nbsp; And those of us still collecting have pretty mature collections and/or are out of space.&nbsp; In my case, I still pick up pieces occasionally but I wait for a bargain price.&nbsp; I know there&#039;s another one out there cheaper.&nbsp; As has been noted, for whatever reason new collectors aren&#039;t out there and collecting in general has fallen out of fashion.&nbsp; I have also noted, as 42Skeezix said, that unusual and old American stoneware is still an exception.&nbsp; Wish I knew that market better.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
