Antiques

Are you sitting on a gold mine without knowing it and thinking it is trash? If you are, you might want to rethink the stuff you have around you. First start by asking yourself the question, "What is the difference between antique and trash?" The answer is just care over time.If you take care of something, it looks good no matter how old it is.

The TV shows, Auction King and Antiques Roadshow where people bring in their antiques to see what they are worth advises us to care for and keep our things well because what you think is trash could be worth a pretty penny now or in the future.

Here are some tips on how to know what to care for, keep or buy if you see them being sold, so you can make good money on them in the future.



1.) Always focus on collectibles or series items. If it’s worth something to someone now, it will be worth something to other people in the future.


2.) Popular brand name collectible items like Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola, and Budweiser are always good sellers.


3.) For wines, the older, the better. So if you have bottles of wine that has been in your family for years that’s a good thing to sell.


4.) Leather bound books including bibles are always good to keep or buy because they are worth a lot.

5.) Also go with your gut instinct. If you really like something, buy it and keep it, because if you like something now, chances are someone else will like it in the future.
