This is a contributed article in the area of antiques and collectibles at AuctionPort. The only items we continue to see any softness in, are rocking chairs, but then you can't give them away at shows or shops, so why bother.
Linens continue to bring obscene bids.
Empire furniture, while still a weak relative to the rest of the early 19th century antiques, continues to rise in price. Anything remotely old and saleable soars way beyond realistic show or shop prices. Yard sales are another matter. Here you can still uncover good books and paper for the right price. Look forward to more informative articles on the antiques and collectibles field.
