Tips On antique radio restoration
Don't assume that because a dealer knows more than you, that you can't get a good deal. You still may have some way of realizing the value of a piece that they can't take advantage of. Perhaps you know someone who'd pay quite a bit for the last whatever in their collection. The piece may not be worth that much to any other collector, but since it fills out that person's collection, they'd give someone alot for it. Also, if you have special skills for refurbishing antiques (or have a friend who does) you may be able to bring a piece to it's top-dollar condition. This is something many dealers don't have the time or resources to do.
