<p>[QUOTE="TT Antique, post: 4002330, member: 2653"]Some middle ground approach might be beneficial and practical for the picker who may specialize say in two areas and be a generalist in other chosen fields. . Imagine a picker who says he specializes in fine/ costume jewelry only and actually travels extensively, in search of his treasures ,,,lets say he travels to Europe to attend an antique fair in Paris and also decides to check some flea markets and shops in France while he is there...he may pick some jewelry that he could sell at a profit, however given the expenses of his travels, it would be more justifiable if he also looks around in the fair ,shops and flea markets some other antiques of value like rare books, prints etc even though he may not specialize on them. That way his travels could be justified , his revenue sources are diversified and his potential profits are maximized.</p><p>For the antique dealer maybe it could be different...</p><p><br /></p><p>TTA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
