Shopping Blob

For just a few bucks, you can place an ad in your local paper. To make the most of your ad, you’ve got to know what you have and price it right. Investing in an antiques price guide will help you identify the particulars of your piece and establish a realistic price. Then, when someone calls, you can speak authoritatively on its characteristics, age, markings and value. However, you’ve got to expect that you’ll get a lot of calls from people looking for a bargain who are not knowledgable. If you’re lucky, you’ll find a taker who appreciates the value of what you’re selling.
