<p>[QUOTE="Fern77, post: 4613306, member: 16131"]I take it you're into 17th century furniture, the kind of thing that, in large numbers, wouldn't look out of place (and fit) only in a castle, so I'm assuming you've got one. Generally, you might be led to think that just because you've got money to burn, and sellers know it, they may take advantage . This is very likely, of course, and you'll have built your defense mechanism, but also, it is the case that the market for this kind of furniture, viz your competition, is the moneyed sort, so prices are (perhaps seemingly unreasonably) high. The same rules apply, though, age, alone, is not enough, look for quality above all. Thing is, though, there's not much around, and very, very few people are into it (so prices mostly come down to what YOU are willing to pay).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
