So here's the challenge. As many of you know I have a pair of tickets to the Antiques Roadshow in Seattle this month. The problem is, I have nothing to bring. I have items that are going to stay in my collection and everything else, I've already sold. So, here's the plan
On Wednesday and Thursday this week, there are 3 auctions that I go to. I plan to go to 2 previews tomorrow and one on Thursday. I will try to find an item, could be anything that I think I can buy at under
market value, and try to at least double or more the value. So while at the auction previews I am going to take pics and post exactly what I'm looking at, my thoughts behind picking these specific objects and then I'm going to do some research and see if I can knock one out of the park. This is going to involve recognizing a valuable item, pricing it correctly and buying it at the auction at the right price.
So, you dear reader can follow along. I may pick three or four items and I am going to ask for your help. I'll post the pictures and ask for your feedback. I'll bid and hopefully buy the item and then we'll continue the experiment by taking it to the Roadshow on August 18th. Can I pull a Hank Aaron and knock it out of the park? Or am I going to flail away and miss the ball entirely. Either way, I'm swinging for the fence!!
