ANTIQUES AS COLLECTIBLES

Article Category: Shopping

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Antiques make great collectibles. They are items that many collectors search for and purchase. Individuals who are into buying and selling collector's items, as well as those who want them for their personal use, are usually on the prowl for genuine antiques.

To be considered an antique by the dictionary, an item, except for cars, must be original and unaltered and is at least one hundred years old. Cars, on the other hand, need only be at least 75 years old to be considered as an antique. While there are collectors and sellers who can be nitpicky about their collectibles, there are more who do not subscribe to this strict definition and consider items that are a few decades old to be worthy of their time. These are items that are usually referred to as vintage and are great for collecting and buying and selling as well.

There are several places where antiques and vintage collectibles may be found. The easiest place to find them is in an online auction. eBay, arguably the most popular site for online auctions, includes a category for collectible items where sellers put up for sale silver, antiques, decorative arts, coins, stamps, photographs, dolls and sports memorabilia, among other antiques and collectibles. Remember that not all items worthy of being a part of a collection are placed under this category, and it might be wise to haunt other categories for good deals on antiques and vintage items, too.

For typically bulkier and more expensive items, auction houses are a good place to go. Ancient pieces of furniture, cars, works of art and sometimes, even real estate are being auctioned off by these houses. Classic items for sale by auction houses at a given time would be those that belong to the estate of a deceased person that his heirs have no use for anymore.

Shows and exhibitions featuring antiques and vintage collectibles are also happening all over the country. These are usually advertised over the Internet or in local newspapers, and may be anywhere from free to a few dollars to enter. Usually in exhibits of this kind, buyers and sellers are able to socialize and negotiate a good term for both of them.

It is also a good idea to get to know other antique collectors and find out from them where they purchase most of their items. Sometimes, antique collectors dispose of items from their collection in order to make way for other items and by getting to know them, you get to be first in line when they decide to do this.

It is easy and worthwhile to be on the lookout for good deals on antiques and vintage items. Although it is possible that you would pay a hefty price for purchasing such an item, it would more often than not be a good buy because antiques and vintage items only increase in value over the years, and the passage of time will prove to be profitable for someone who owns antique and vintage items.
