Hello, all :)

Hello, people. I'm Tom. I'm 25 years old, and I joined this site because my dad has been helping me start up an antique and collectables business, and because I am a novice, I am having trouble identifying some items. I'm sure there are plenty of people on here that can help me.

I look forward to participating in lots of helpful discussions!

 

Hi Tom,
Congratulations on your new venture. All of us had to start somewhere and I certainly wished that I had a friendly group of people that we have here. Welcome.

@gregsglass Thanks a lot!

 

Welcome, Tom!

 

Greetings, Tom! We love to hear of young people joining the field. Lots to learn here and plenty of experienced sellers to provide advice.

Has your Dad been involved in antiques in the past or is he just giving fatherly support?

 

welcome

 

@Bakersgma Thank you!

A bit of both, I suppose. He used to sell antique books for a living, and when I was younger, he owned a book store. He used to go to auctions all the time, and he knows how to spot a bargain. I always wanted to start up my own business, and he suggested antiques and collectables, as it's something he could help me with. Hopefully all goes well!
