Garage Salers, eBay consignment sellers, collectible collectors and antique aficionados... it's not a deal if it isn't real!
"How to Spot Fakes,
Frauds, & Forgeries, FAST!"
Want to make BIG BUCKS selling garage sale, consignment sale or flea market finds? Then you've GOT to know if you're buying a VALUABLE AUTHENTIC COLLECTIBLE or a WORTHLESS FAKE!
Dear Fellow Treasure-Hunter:
If you've ever kicked yourself because you didn't buy that dirty old gadget, or that glass you couldn't identify, or that wobbly but interesting piece of furniture — because later on you figured out it was "the real thing", a valuable collectible or antique — then this information is for you.
If you've ever kicked yourself because you DID buy that dirty old gadget, or that glass you couldn't identify, or that wobbly but interesting piece of furniture — because you found out later that it was absolutely worthless junk, then this information is for you, too!
Garage sale shopping can be a nightmare. You know what I mean! Rainy weather. Parking hassles. Pushy people. Trashy merchandise. And yet — it's worth it when you find that new Bunn coffeepot for $10 or a sturdy coat for your forgetful son ("I think I left it on the bus") or a mint-condition "Thinking Puppy" McCoy Cookie Jar for your collection.

Unfortunately, a lot of "treasure" is left undiscovered.
Even more "trash" is mistaken for treasure.
Believe me, I know!

As my long-suffering husband will attest, I used to come home with lots of junk from my garage sale expeditions. Unusual junk, maybe. Pretty junk, perhaps. But worthless (or close to it) junk.
Sure, when I went to garage sales and flea markets, I looked for great deals for my home and family. Kids clothes. More kids clothes. Toys or games we hadn't played. A different picture to hang on the wall. Kitchen gadgets. And I did save some money.
But for me, going to garage sales, flea markets and the like (and let's not forget shopping on eBay) isn't only about bargain-hunting for my family. It's about treasure-hunting — finding useful, valuable or attractive products at great prices that I can give as gifts or, better yet, sell for a profit.
My goal was to have a nice little sideline income. (A nice enough income, in fact, to warrant a big "I told you so!" to skeptical friends and family.)
My problem was that I didn't know what a lot of the cool stuff I saw was, much less if it was worth anything. But I spent the money anyway.
I'd see something interesting on a table and think "Hey, is this Depression Glass? Only $1.00? ...
