From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An antique (Latin: antiquus; old) is an old collectible item. It is collected or desirable because of its age, rarity, condition, utility, or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era in human society. Antiques are usually objects which show some degree of craftsmanship, or a certain attention to design such as a desk or the early automobile. They are bought at antique shops, or passed down as an estate. Some valuable antiques can be bought from antique dealers and auction services or purchased online through websites and online auctions. Antique dealers are often members of national trade associations, many of which themselves belong to CINOA, a confederation of art and antique associations across 21 countries, representing 5000 dealers.

I'm researching information on buying and selling antiques for profit (how it's done, what qualifies as antique, the legal aspects, etc.) and am looking for an all-in-one guide or website that covers it in greater detail. Any information you can provide would be helpful. Thanks. Asked by Lia A - Tue May 6 04:38:41 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. Antique Dealing by Matthew Ohms is a full-featured guide on how to buy and sell antiques for profit. It covers antique valuation & pricing, auction tips, profit potential and the legal aspects of buying and selling antiques. While the law varies from place to place, to be considered an antique a car or other piece of machinery needs to be 25 years old, toys need to be 10 years old, and other items at least 50-100 years old. The reason for this is that items like cars and machinery go through a lot more wear and tear than a chair or a desk. So for it to last 25 years is truly significant.

My granmother- in - Law Just passed away and she seemed to share the same passion of collection postcards and greeting cards as I do!

Post cards started out as personal mailing cards and would be hard to tell from a single sided greeting card. Pick up a book on collecting post cards and learn the difference in age from card to card. I'd suggest The Postcard Price Guide by J L Mashburn. Please what ever you decide, post card or greeting card, don't just slap a stamp on it and pop it in the mail.
