If you can find what the collectors are looking for, then talk of recession doesn’t figure into the equation in today’s economy. I’ve said it before, and will say it again, today: There doesn’t seem to be any lack of funds in the upper end Antique and Fine Art markets. Our industry is still very sound, and I remain very positive. Why?
My phone is continuing to ring off the hook with people desperate to sell their belonging because of they need cash, or they think they might. This flurry of phone calls can be based on fear - the fear of not knowing what the value of their savings and property will be if this economy continues its downward spiral. The market is changing, and as buyers and sellers of antiques and fine art, we need to adjust our way of doing business to handle the change. but, this isn’t a “bad” thing. I call this time, “Oportunity Time.” And today, it’s Opportunity Time for those of us in this business and for those collectors who have the cash to buy.
Right now, in the Antiques and Fine Art Markets, we’re presented with various venues along with their associated fees that, today, have risen to unheard of levels. Auction houses today are collecting close to 50% of an item’s value in commissions and fees. They collect this amount by “double dipping” - - collecting, what I consider, out-of-line- fees from the seller, and then charging the buyer a fee for the privilege of buying. I don’t know, but I have to ask myself this: When did auction houses become part owner of your inventory or your personal belongings?
Candlewick glass made by the Imperial Glass company has been a very collectible Depression Glass with many who enjoy its distinctive styling and clean clear look. It’s hard not to notice the little “balls” of glass on the edges of this beautiful glassware.
Don’t confuse Candlewick with Boopie glass by Anchor Hocking!
There are some subtle differences […]
Ebay has, once again presented, changes in their venue , many of which I predicted last year, that will be sending a good portion of their customers elsewhere to do business and leaving their stockholders in a long holding pattern, or perhaps experiencing record lows.
Many months ago, I wrote a blog and news article stating it was time to sell silver and gold you might have in your possession, not knowing the danger this would place me in. Again, today, I am recommending you sell all the silver you have in your possession. My projections see silver retracing its charts back to $6.00.
When you talk to people about bronzes, they usually envision large 2′ or more figurines that may sell for over $100,000. But, they often miss the smaller pieces that can be special in their own right
