Anyone who has watched "Antiques Roadshow" has wondered what wonderful treasure resides in their attic or dreamed about discovering a priceless antique at a garage sale. Curt Avery is someone who makes his living buying and selling antiques. He had his love of antiques triggered by digging up old bottles as a young boy, spent time working at an auction house, and learning the hard way by buying "mistakes". This book looks at the world of dealers who troll flea markets, antique shows, and even Ebay now to buy low and try to sell high. Also discussed is how reproductions can drop the floor out of the market, changing trends, and how even Martha Stewart affected the antique market.
