<p>[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 1129289, member: 16269"]I'm not doubting that there are finds to be had. But they are going to be rare. I know the tactics that are used to move common items, having been in the antiques/collectibles business for a number of years. There are good dealers and there are those who'd ripoff their own Grandmothers if they had the chance.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know some dealers who have items they can't move or paid too much for, that will list them on Kijiji or craiglist and sell them from their own homes giving the impression that the item had been in their families possession for generations. They make up a story that sounds plausible and if you find that the distressed 300 year old diningroom table that you paid $800 for is available brand new at Walmart for $95, you're stuck with it. Some of these people have no scruples at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
