Hi :)

Hi to all,

I'm occasionally buying antiques when I go on vacation as a souvenir.
I'm not expert so hopefully I will learn something new on this forum.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome!
-
I've never known of souvenirs going on vacation but heck...they've earned it!

 

I do buy antiques instead of fridge magnets
Should have worded it better

 

You'll find I have much fun with titles and such but it's all in fun, never malicious.

 

Greetings, SVK! What an interesting thing to do on vacation. Are there particular kinds of things you bring home? Care to show some off?

 

Hi SVK! This is a GREAT board for becoming well informed.....a terrific bunch of nice experts in many areas here!!! So,

 

I'm not easily offended
It's all good, forums are for entertainment and knowledge not a places to argue.

 

I walk to the shop and if something catches my eye I buy it if it is within the budget.
I'm collecting coins and bank notes.Unusual Silver coins and old stuff.

Nothing dear or precious, I have very little knowledge so I usually stick with low budget. That way it doesn't hurt my pocket

 

Thats the smartest way to do it until you learn more . Welcome .

 

I have almost always done this... Buy what I like. And it's a good thing for I have a lot.
If I at least get my money back or make money on much of it...then great.

 

I buy the stuff to keep it. If you like something, why to sell it ?

 

I agree and mean down the road a bit.

 

Tastes change over time.....or....you can sell some things to buy others that are bigger, better & that you like MORE !

Welcome..

 

My 'plan' was to eventually sell most and buy small such as autographs.

 

& some days I wonder why I didn't get into dealing stamps......ever try shipping an 8 foot totem pole .....

 

Or schlepping fior that matter...
-
Ummmmm... No.

 

Schlepping !!
My pal & I carried one off a truck towards the Gallery one day....& I walked backwards into a double parking meter !

Those metal posts don't move ........OUCH !!!
But I didn't dare drop my end of the pole !

 

Well, if *I* had been on the other end of that thing, *I* would have warned you!

Oh, and...
Hola, SVK, and welcome to the Forums. Are you in Tel Aviv? I'm a very curious person, so I always read people's avatar info and ask nosy questions.
