Selling and shipping them to another country, even inside the EU, could be subject to permission from a national government agency. You may have to check that for where you are.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to start collecting, do a lot of research first. Know what you should be looking for. Visit museums (when they open again), galleries (ditto), other collectors. Read books and study sites.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many fakes, and even reputable galleries and auction houses have been known to have fallen into the fakes trap.</p><p>Learn to use all your senses. Sometimes something looks good, but smells wrong, literally. Trust your gut feeling too.</p><p>But be prepared to get things wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some useful links:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://heliosgallery.com/antiquities/tips-on-collecting/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://heliosgallery.com/antiquities/tips-on-collecting/" rel="nofollow">https://heliosgallery.com/antiquities/tips-on-collecting/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/the-fakebusters-and-other-websites-about-fakery.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/the-fakebusters-and-other-websites-about-fakery.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/the-fakebusters-and-other-websites-about-fakery.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fakes-and-forgeries-in-classical-pottery.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fakes-and-forgeries-in-classical-pottery.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.collector-antiquities.com/real-or-fake/fakes-and-forgeries-in-classical-pottery.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/fakesellers.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/fakesellers.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/fakesellers.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
