What points should i consider to make a collectible item become high-priced in the future?
I don’t know if you have watched the “Antique Roadshow” somewhere in one of the channels of your cable tv subscription. But many items there, although junked or trashed – then some other people lurking around them – displays them in an auction only to find out some items can sell as to much as $10,000 or more!
I have seen some folks like collectible cars, paintings, even stamps, claiming that someday, these will become pricey and sell for huge cash.
Another collector, him being involved with collectible die cast model cars, says as soon as a model is taken cared off, with or without having taken it out of the box, as soon as the time comes, both car and box should be clean and free from damage it can be sold… and of course, the market somewhere in the future would be demanding it.
Can you site me examples, tips, experiences, rules and guidelines in collectible items and antiquities?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Rarity, limited production…wide variety of appeal, cross market for an item (an item that would appeal to many different categories of collectors)
Bottom line: Anything marketed as a collectible in this day and age, you should steer clear from. Not gonna happen.
Also, condition is everything for antiques and collectibles. I would never invest in an item that is in poor condition. The more pristine, the higher $.
