Buying and Selling Old Stuff by Dixie Maria Carlton

Short Read, But Good Info

This is a super short book, but the author clearly has a wide range of experience in this topic because she has jam-packed it full of information. She especially seems to have extensive knowledge of estate jewelry. The book, as the title suggests, works whether you have some of your own antiques to sell–as she gives you clear directions on how to place a value on them and how to approach selling–or whether you wish to get into buying antiques. I did find myself wishing that there was a little more information on occasion, but this is a great start if you’re interested in getting into either part of antiquing.
