Whoa whoa – big day! How’d the purchase go?
ha – a repository of knowledge. Areas like these (antiques) are highly subjective and hard to benchmark and price compare.

I’m a little late to the game on this post, but I can somewhat see this at work with our antique shop owner. He’s a veritable repository of knowledge about things antique, but he could be totally making this stuff up and we’d have no idea.

That said, we don’t buy his items for their antique value, but for the fact that they are extremely sturdy versions of the cheap-o modern alternatives. So we usually think his price is fair.

As for cars, we are buying one today (eek, must get to the bank!). We did a lot of research, knew what we wanted, what it was worth and made an offer. So far, so good.

@ FS.

I’d thought of strategies before. Problem was, I was still nervous (as a college student) and I’m a little hesitant because of the blatant deception. Plus, Porsche’s aren’t the cream of the crop….it would be much cooler to drive a Bugatti or the like

@ Planting $.

HA. Someday, 100s of years from now, I’ll be in an art museum. And little kids will be shown my drawings and told, “See these rudimentary, cave drawings children? This is why that generation struggled so much with debt”.

Went once. I was given a watch which I knew the value of, and wanted to see what they would give me (I don’t wear any types of jewelry, including watches, its going to be a struggle to keep the wedding ring on!). Obviously, I didn’t sell it so now it’s an expensive dust-collector

Nice job digital Picasso!

You’re right, knowledge = power = money = value. Or in some other order… essentially all the same thing.

Hopefully someone doesn’t call Bullshit on my blog posts!

Never been to a pawn shop, have you?
