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.
People may find great items from me, and they can also find great items at thrift stores and fleamarkets. I have found great items at flea markets and thrift stores and resold them at a good profit.

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.
