Places That You Find Really Nice Looking Old Radios That People Like To Buy
By Muna wa Wanjiru
As technology advances the ways that we can listen to music increases. For many people however their old radios still provide a perfectly good way to listen to music. For others these old radios can act as curios of times gone past. Or they can be collector's items. In both of these scenes the different types of radios of yesteryear are great finds to stumble across.
You will in many instances find these antique radios at auctions. These places will have really nice looking radios that people like to buy. The purposes behind these buying desires will have to do with the main fact that you own a piece of history. You could like the interesting look of these old radios. As some of these auctions can have very rare and limited production radios on sale you should expect that the price of these old radios to go up quite high.
For those of you who arent interested in buying old radios from auction houses you have the option of trawling through yard sales, garage sales and even second hand shops to find these gems of history. You may not find the best conditioned radios but these old radios still have the ability of working.
This means that if you have the knack for fixing things then you have a challenge with these old radios. The first item that you will need to do is to see what parts are not in working condition. You will need to find if there are places that can sell you replacement parts or if you can insert new radio parts instead.
Besides finding old radios at auction houses you will find a few of these antique radios in various places like garage sales, second hand dealers, antique shops, museums and old radio parts shops.
While most of these radios will not be found in pristine condition, they are still in prime working condition. You may have to give the old radios a bit of a tune-up but for the most part you will find they can still deliver the goods.
Since for the most part old radios like antique radios are hard to find in mint condition you should expect to pay a price that is equal to that of its working condition. The different varieties of old radios ensure you have a choice of radio styles to fit your style of living. These living pieces of history will let you hear music in an old fashioned manner.

Finding Antique Shops and Shows. Visit a shop in the area. Most dealers know that antique buyers like to "hit" several shops on each buying trip so they locate near one another and actively promote one another's shops. Antiques are somewhat unique, each store doesn't carry exactly the same things others do - so unlike most other retailers, they encourage you to come to their area and shop all the shops in their area. Usually by the door or cash register, dealers will have maps, lists of local shops and other free literature about shows coming up in their area.

Are You Interested In Antiques?
By Hege Crowton
Are you a collector of antiques or are you just starting out and don't quite know how to go about finding antiques and finding the value of the items. If so you are in the same situation as so many others who want to get started either buying or selling antiques or perhaps just wanting to collect them. Either way there are lots of ways to get into this business or hobby.
The way many people get started with antiques is by inheriting a lot of old stuff or you may even find that you are sitting on a gold mine without even knowing it. When was the last time you went treasure hunting in your parents or grandparents attic or basement? If you never have, you have most likely missed out on a lot. It can be quite unbelievable what an older person have stored away without even giving it a second thought.
This might be one way of getting your collection started but whatever you do make sure to ask before you take any items and let them know what you are doing because what you may find can actually be quite valuable and you dont want to take what could be worth thousands of dollars without getting their permission. By being honest your family may even assist you in finding antiques which could be of some value.
Another place to go antique hunting is garage sales. Many treasures can be found at these because people just want to get rid of old 'junk' that is cluttering up their house. This is probably why they say: one mans junk is another mans treasure! Other people do put adds in the paper advertising to pick up old stuff people want to throw away. What could happen if you do something like this is that you will end up with a lot of useless trash but then again you could get lucky?
As far as getting your items valued, there are a lot of ways this can be done. Somewhere in your area there is most likely an antique store which would be able to assist you to a certain degree but before you go that route make sure it is a reputable business. In dealing with people when it comes to antiques and collector items you may encounter a lot of dishonest people.
Other places to go are places on the internet, but again; make sure those places are reputable. With some of this information hopefully you will be able to get a good start when it comes to starting out with antiques regardless if you are just collecting them or if you are making antiques your business.

Hints About discount antique furniture
High Quality Merchandise. This tells you two important things about a dealer. First, it establishes that they have the knowledge necessary to find and care for desireable antiques. Secondly, it is some reassurance that they are serious about dealing as a profession. Someone who takes the time to learn about antiques and who selects only the highest quality items has invested years in that effort. This is something they enjoy and will probably stick with.
