Treasure hunting for antiques
A portal about antique collecting and specifically how to find great deals on collectible antiques ranging from antique furniture to antique bottles.
For some time, I’ve told you how very important it is to stay current with the trends so you won’t make mistakes. Well, I guess I will have to take some of my own medicine, because I am surprised how far off I was on the trend in rare Carnival Glass. Some of the Carnival Glass I sold only two or three years ago have tripled or more in value since then. I was talking to Cecil about the Carnival Glass Blue People’s Vase that brought in over $31,000 and he began to laugh. At first I wanted...

To be in the Antique and Fine Art World, knowing a large number of people will prove to be the lifeblood of your business. Remember when I said to make business cards and pass them out to everyone you meet? There was also a time I instructed you to tell all your family and friends what you were doing. What if I told you there was a better way to pass your name around to let others know you're in others the Antique and Fine Art Business? I received an email from a 31 Club Member asking if I...

I was privileged to have one of our members at my house the other day, and she brought her nine year old son along for the ride. I ended up spending a couple of hours with him on the computer and talking about our business. He was intrigued with the thought of making money by going to garage sales. His mother could hardly keep him at my house because he wanted to go out hunting for treasure right away. I’m wondering if his response has a special lesson to teach us. In our haste to become...

Vintage Cast Iron Toy Horse and Wagon sold for $266.51 USD in June 2008 on eBay. I spent this past weekend in Kentucky for our family reunion, and I have to admit, I had a very special weekend with aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces.
