If you have fewer items, a garage or yard sale is sufficient. The best places to find books are through local book dealers or keep searching the Internet auctions. Antique malls, pawn shops, flea markets and consignment shops always carry lots of vintage jewelry, and currently it is a buyer s market. Take it back to the auction and unload it for whatever price you can get out of it. This is an auction that must reach a certain bid price determined by the seller before it will be sold.
Many malls allow sales of collectibles as well as antiques.
My dealer friends tell me it is best to carry a variety, with the greatest percentage being antiques. So do a lot of other people. The library has a variety of guidebooks with the value of many styles of china. There was a man at a festival selling reproductions and claiming them as antiques. Often, if you point out that you are aware that his merchandise is not authentic, you will find that he suddenly puts the reproductions away.
