A Beginners Guide To Antique Collecting

Dear Fellow Antiques Enthusiast

You don’t have to look far these days to find someone who says they can make you rich.

Work from home, Pyramid Schemes, Chain Letters, Catalogue Delivery. You’ll find all these jobs advertised in your local newspaper all the time.

Do they work? Well yes for some people. But for most people, they just end up getting burned. Paying a joining fee and never making any money out of it at all.

Frustrating isn’t it?

Well, This Is 2022!

This is the information age now you know! Everything you need is right in front of you on the internet. You now have the ability to buy and sell things online, without having to leave your own home. You can even visit your local antiques fair and sell more products there!

What Can You Sell Online Or At An Antiques Fair?

Well take a look around your home. You’re sure to have lots of things that you have stored away either in the attic or in a dark cupboard somewhere. Maybe you’ve put something away thinking it will come in handy in the future. But how long ago was that? Have you used it?

Just take a quick look online at eBay for instance. Go and have a look at what people are buying on there. If you are not a regular visitor to eBay, you’re in for a real shock. People will literally buy anything!

One Man’s Junk Is Another Man’s Treasure

This is true even more so now that the internet has evolved. It has literally thrown open the doors to a huge oppotunity that has only existed before with A LOT of effort and knowledge.

So, once you get the hang of selling things online you’ll almost certainly see the opportunity it has. So have thousands of people all over the world who make their living on eBay. One thing you will have to learn is how to spot a bargain.

You may even have something lying around in your home that could be worth thousands! Don’t believe me? Well have you ever watched the Antiques Roadshow on television? People take in all sorts of things they have stored away at home and some are literally worth hundreds and thousands of pounds.

Do you think they new that what they had was worth a lot of money? Hell no!

Real Life Example

Real Life True Example – A woman named Dralle who earns over £200,000 selling antiques on eBay.

Dralle, who spends much of her time canvassing garage sales and looking for treasures she can sell on eBay. She cites a recent example of a wood carving of a bird, which she recognized as a piece of work by a master carver. She paid $2 for it, but plenty of collectors were quick to recognize its value.

The top bid for the carving was £2,052.”Those are the ones that make me jump up and down,” says Dralle. “Really, I’m just so happy that I can live wherever I want, and I love what I’m doing.” It’s one of those intangibles that nobody can put a price on.

Imagine if you could do this once a month. Better still why not once a week! You are only limited by the knowledge of finding antiques which are worth big money and buying them cheap. That is the only thing standing in your way.

The Potential Is Everywhere!

People sell things all the time. Car boot sales, garage sales, jumble sales, house clearances, the list goes on and on.

What if you new how to spot a bargain? What if you could tell just by looking at something how much it was worth? You would then be able to quickly turn around a healthy profit in no time at all! How many times would you want to do this? I’m guessing lots!

So how do you gain the knowledge to spot the original antiques from the replica ones?

Well look no further……………
