Be wary of scams
Most sellers are honest people who just want to make some extra cash. But that isn’t always the case. If you buy it now and don’t realize you got a bad deal until you get home, you’ll be out of luck. Watch out for:
- Damage covered by price tags. Lift the price tag up a little to check.
- Mismatched pieces. For example, make sure the lid on the creamer set you’re eying matches the other pieces.
- Repaired items marked as new. Hold breakables up to the sunlight to check for repaired cracks.
- Antiques that aren’t. Don’t assume something is old, an original, or a limited edition just because the seller says it is. Flip the item over and look for the original branding. Most antique clocks won’t have a “made in China” stamp on the back.
