<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 10208207, member: 4654&quot;]My view is some antiques will become far more numerous as the lay person realises what they have and what it&#039;s potential value might be. I think antique sellers will have to move into higher end and rarer items but when everyone is informed as much as a dealer where will the dealer get their stock from? It&#039;s not like a antique dealer can buy in bulk, buying at auctions has become ridiculous with 25% commissions + tax and tax on postage ect and will a informed joe public really be happy with a small fraction of retail at auction?</p><p>I think most sellers couldn&#039;t be bothered to do the research before but now it&#039;s so easy to find out, I would say the antiques game is in for a bumpy ride.</p><p>When I first started buying I would say to my wife it&#039;s like buying £100 for £10, I suspect those days are gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
