Ongoing Economic Uncertainty Benefiting Antique Dealers?

2/15/2016

In a recent post from the Financial Times, "In times of economic uncertainty, people are often looking to sell items cheaply, and conversely, looking to buy items off-retail." Both sides of this coin can benefit the antique dealer.

No one likes to see foreclosures - but they're continuing to happen - even long after the official end of the 2008 Recession. Many people are still trying to get "right-side-up" on past or current mortgages, and are continuing to liquidate many goods and chattels at fire-sale prices in the process - some of which are antiques and collectibles. These rare buying opportunities are not only good news for antique dealers and collectors, but also for personal property appraisers, who are seeing more business than ever before. All of this uncertainty can afford today's dealers and appraisers the chance to play "both" sides of the field in a somewhat topsy-turvy and unsettled marketplace.

These are just a couple of reasons why it might be time to think about taking that first step toward a career you've always dreamed of... And, as with most things in life, timing can be a crucial factor when it comes to succeeding in such endeavors. It's often been said that, "Opportunity only knocks once."
If this is true, why not make the most of this economic uncertainty, and turn it to your benefit by enrolling in the Asheford Program today... Thousands of others have, so why not you?
