How To Start An Antique Business?
Posted by admin on January 13th, 2012
If you have a liking for beautiful things from the past, an antique business could be a good business option for you. The best thing would be that you will access resources on how to find the best antiques, appraise, purchase, antique sales, antiques collection, etc.
One of the best things about antique business is that it can be operated from home. Moreover, it is a low risk and high return business and can be started alongside your regular job. All in all, dealing in antiques and collectibles can be an excellent business without leaving your regular job.
Before you plan to do so, it is important for you to have a clear understanding about antiques and collectibles (also spelled as collectables).
Antiques are defined as anything above 100 years fold while collectibles is a term for distinguishing more recent items from antiques. Collectables are things that people collect, usually belonging to the past, including old movie memorabilia and comics books.
If you already have some antiques in your personal collection, half of the battle is already won before it even started. If you are in the process of building up your inventory, you need to be financially strong as the antiques business is an expensive business. In case you want some resources or tips on how to get things going, you can access local and international collectibles news, antiques show, antiques collection, and antiques blogs.
To get the best antiques, you need to check out estate sales, garage sales, and flea markets for interesting things that are saleable. You may buy antiques online but make sure that you are buying genuine antiques and collectables from a reputed auction house or antiques store. You can even offer commissions to other collectors if they provide assistance in selling antiques owned by you.

East Texas Town Named Antiques Capital
Posted by admin on November 17th, 2011
A town in East Texas, Gladewater, has been a thriving community of antiques malls and stores.
However, many stores had closed, gone out of business, and boarded up following the recession of the 1980s. The late Beth Bishop led a group of antiques dealers in a move that would eventually see the town officially recognized as “The Antique Capital of east Texas”.
From Blog.christiandaviesantiques.co.uk:
The dealers started with booths in Gladewater Mall, which is now owned by Margaret Larkin. Individuals set up booths selling antique goods and collectibles. Gradually a number of other malls and antiques stores opened, until the Main street and two adjoining streets became officially recognised as The Antiques Capital of East Texas. About 200 individual traders now thrive in Gladewater, with antiques and collectibles to be found from all over the world. One shop is proud to stock items which have been sourced in Italy, including art and design.
The area successfully mixes the world of antiques with contemporary goods. One store sells exotic loose leaf teas, with over 20 blends available. In the same store you will find antique teapots, cups and other items used to brew a cup of tea. Gladewater also has a reputation for memories, as a number of people are happy to browse and recognise an item from many years ago.
UK residents know they can find items like antique desks in the Lancashire area, in what could almost be termed the ‘antique capital of the North’.

An avid antiques veteran is all set to open the Victoria Square Outdoor Market in Colborne, Cramahe Township, which is a community on Lake Ontario in Ontario, Canada.
Roseanne Quinn, the market organizer, confirmed she has received a go-ahead from the Cramahe Township Council on June 7.
From Fleamarketzone.com:
She hopes to set the outdoor market apart from other flea markets by emphasizing local foods and higher-end items, such as antiques, jewelry, collectibles, and books, not used clothing or watches. Quinn is not calling it a flea market. She expects to run the market once a week during the warm months. “The market is a summer thing, every Saturday,” she says.
According to Mandy Martin of local news site Cramahe Now, local support has been strong: “I think it’s a wonderful idea,” Mayor Marc Coombs said.

Burnt Forty Collectibles offer local history in antique collection
Posted by admin on May 12th, 2011
The Main Street antique shop of Bob Weber is more of a museum than a retail store and Weber has been doing more buying than selling since the economy tanked a few years ago.
“This business did really good for four or five years until the economy chopped the legs off local spending,” Weber said. “I haven’t sold much, but I’ve made some great purchases.”
From Ravallirepublic.com:
Visitors include serious collectors, people doing historical research and those wanting to sell antique or unique treasures.
“That’s the best part, when people come to sell me stuff,” he said.
His shop is home to the Hamilton Café sign that graced the space above the Ford’s Department Store women’s section. The towering treasure was the first neon sign in Hamilton and inspired frequent customer Hank Williams Jr. to write an album by the same name. The front cover of the album, also hanging in Weber’s shop, features Hamilton’s earliest neon lights.
Weber is very proud of his corner dedicated to Hamilton police and sheriff’s memorabilia including historic photos of marshals, criminals and evidence of the evolution of peacekeeping. His display includes billy clubs, handcuffs, badges, patches and Montana code books.
Weber named his own little store “Burnt Forty Collectibles” after a Hamilton historical story that makes him chuckle.
