[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 3877716, member: 5066"]Yes, trying to guess the market in antique furniture unless a dealer who constantly turns their inventory is a fool's game that you are bound to lose. Exactly, which is why I don't expect to make money, pieces I bought in the 70s-80s are worth now nowhere near what I paid for them. Well, I would hope so since I bought it at the bottom? of the market, if there is ever going to be a bottom!:eek: Thing is, I really don't care. Yes, it would be great to make a few dollars but if not that's OK, I get to enjoy being around them which is payment enough. The depression in prices has actually HELPED me, I have acquired pieces that 30 years ago I could only dream of owning.:)[/QUOTE]
