Male, 58
I have been buying and selling antiques (and some collectibles) for over 30 yrs. started out buying and selling to help pay for college. got a degree in business admin. and worked in managerial positions for 23 yrs. but, during this 23 yr. period I kept my sanity by continuing to sell antiques in my spare time. now that I am semi-retired, I still deal in antiques - it is in my blood. I am knowledgeable in auctioning, estate sales, online sales, direct sales, and appraisals.
I am not qualified to give health advice.
Most of my business is done online these days. business has increased significantly since covid. more people shopping online.
Sometimes family members clean out a loved ones estate and donate the contents to thrift or goodwill type stores not realizing what they are donating. I have bought numerous valuable itemsfor "pennies on the dollar" at these stores in the past. however, these days there are so many folks selling on line, that the odds of finding these "sleeper" buys is slim.
Probably as safe as buying groceries. I wear a mask, wash hands, and keep a distance from the seller. anything that I buy gets quarantined in an out building for 3 days before I get it ready to sell.I think that most of us are more likely to die from heart disease (655,000 deaths per year) or cancer (599,000 deaths per year). I should probably quit eating red meat and smoking cigars.

Does a piece's value increase significantly if it has a cool "back-story" to go along with it?"Big Bucks" is a relative term, but to make any money, in any profession, requires study and experience. To make money consistently, you have to stay on top of what is trending in the market place - what people are collecting.
