Question

What are the most valuable items treasures you shoul look for at a garage sale or a antique shop? I

Answer 1

antiques are tough, simply, there are not many you will find. Furniture is a good long term investment right now- the baby boomers are cleaning out their houses, the younger generations have little interest. Supply and demand, the market is flooded right now and that will not change soon. 100 Y.O. solid walnut is cheaper than Ikea. Original paintings will always increase in value, and you will never go wrong buying things like coins, sports cards/ memorobilia, coke/ pepsi ads, for that matter any advertising from a long standing company, but being uninformed, get it cheap unless you know the value for sure. Buy a recent book or two to become more familiar with the current trends. Or, buy a 1921 Canadian nickel :)

Answer 2

paintings

Answer 3

I onetime read that the way that you take on that assignment is to pick a few things that you thoroughly research and become an expert on. Then set out in search for it/them and you will know when you have found it !

The great thing is that even the antique experts don't know all there is about every nik nak that they have in their store so you can make some real good finds there as well !

Good Luck
