Information acquired during my 86 years.
There are four main reasons why people collect Antiques, each in its own way can bring Beauty, Profit, Joy, Satisfaction, Knowledge of the Past, Talking Points and Interaction between Persons. Today with computers and the Internet it is a remarkable activity that enables handicapped and retirees access to auctions, interested groups, malls, antique shops, clubs, societies, and whatever form of interest taken, keeps the mind young.
1. A Fascinating Hobby
2. Profitable Income Activity
3. Investment Gaining Historical Knowledge
4. A Way to Save to have a Substantial Sum Invested for Retirement – a guaranteed income which you would control.
Within these four reasons there are innumerable collectable items each one a method of subduing our hoarding instincts, giving a relaxing and exciting addition to our lives. It is considered by many to be an expensive hobby, this is not necessarily true, a fascinating hobby need not cost a lot of dollars and scents, the size of the market makes items available to all depths and sizes of pockets.
As a budding collector with money in mind you must decide what to collect and remember also to sell. To help you decide what to collect go into your attic and garage and see what is there, left maybe by your parents, Just watch the Road Show and you will see the finds that come to light. Don’t bother that you may not be knowledgeable. In the beginning as you are learning, you have me to turn to for this information which as a member of my Company ISITANTIQUE you will receive such information without any charges.
Next – get in your car each weekend and travel your local streets, attend all the Garage Sales, Church fetes, look for anything that makes you feel that is nice or that is beautiful, buy it if it is cheap enough, I say that as this is the beginning and I would not want you to spend too much and feel lost, bue the greatest felling you will ever get is to fine out that what you bought for $5 is really worth $500, I assure you this can happen and quite often.
