<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 352358, member: 54"]That’s a good point. The field and the variables are almost infinite, so it is very difficult to know enough about everything to find what we in the trade call “sleepers.” If u want to make money on used items, specialize in one area where there’s still a fair amount of that kind of stuff available. Go to antiques shows and talk to dealers. Watch a lot of “Antiques Roadshow” programs on PBS.org. Learn what makes a particular item valuable-that’s critical. Beginners always seem to think it is rarity, which is a factor but not nearly the most important one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
