<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 6069924, member: 6444"]MCM sells here, retail, online, etc. Low end MCM sells as does high end - there is still a market for that. Authentic early american (Empire and earlier) is hard at retail, unless you have a long-standing shop where people who know what they are looking for seek it out - it sits a LONG time in an average mixed antique shop. It also sells here at auction, but needs to be in great condition and auctions are very selective. Skinner was sold to a bigger auctioneer not long ago, and I haven't seen what changes that has made, so probably worth checking it out - maybe it is easier (or harder) now? In any case prices are down (half or less) for authentic pieces, with few exceptions. And there are always some exceptions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
