"You must always choose something that catches your eye," he says. "20th century furniture are the biggest accumulated items on the planet. They actually are the brand-new antiques, as well as nine out of 10 times if you market the item in 10 years you'll obtain your money back or make revenue when it's time to market.

Although pre-bidding, where you leave a quantity with the auction residence and also they bid on your behalf, as well as on the internet bidding is increasing in popularity, particularly for international purchasers, Shapiro recommends if you can not make it to an auction personally, arrange for the auction residence to call you when your great deal is showing up and quote live over the phone. In this manner you do not risk of losing out on a piece by $50.
