<p>[QUOTE="ritzyvintage, post: 3679666, member: 18191"]First and foremost, I am a 'collector' and an 'admirer' and I've been so for 50+ years. I am not into antiques for profit-sake or to earn money from them even though the items I have also have a value. I am not alone with this, as most of my clients (when I've sold) are collectors 'first' too. One only needs to look at eBay to see countless sellers after nothing else but money, and <u>that</u> is their only interest. It is also true, that if you <u>only</u> purchase to make money, you are more likely to lose money... I'm sure that most on here would agree. There are far too many these days, who care not for the items they have, except for its price tag. They learn nothing, they appreciate nothing, a pot is just a pot and a necklace is just something to hang around your neck... at a price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
