Getting Started With Antique Hunting

By Marcus Anthony


Going 'antique hunting' is kind of like going fishing - everyone has their favorite 'spot' that they frequent but are not inclined to share with others. So if you are new to antiquing where does one start? This article has some great information on how to get started.

The most obvious spot to search for antiques is in an antique shop or mall - on the other hand, looking for and discovering an un-noticed prize there's next to impossible. The excitment of antique hunting is within the hunt and then finding a treasure. A few of the much better places to watch out for antique treasures are:

Flea Markets Local Trade Days Estate Sales Garage Sales Community or Neighborhood Sales and Fund Raisers Church Bazaar Antique Fairs Auctions - Antique & Estate

You might not think that choosing the day of the week, time of day or the month would make a difference - but it does. If you are looking to have 'first shot' at the merchandise offered, you need to get there early. In some instances, various shows will sell tickets for 'early bird' shopping. And, while you will pay a fee for getting in before the general public - this can be well worth it if you come away with a special treasure.

On the other hand if you are a bargain shopper, wait until the last day or the end of the show or event. Most dealers are more than willing to make really good last minute deals rather than pack up the merchandise and take it home.

Antique shops in small towns can be quite a gold mine however, if you plan an out-of-town trip, do not forget that most small town shops don't seem to be open every day. As a result, you most likely have to plan your journey for a Friday or Saturday. And if it is possible call and confirm their business hours.
