How Does The Antique Trade Work ?

The most common rout that an antique items takes from a private seller to an investor is as follows.

An object that we describe as “Item A” is sent off to auction where is guaranteed to be sold on a set day .. The object is “Knocked down ” to a buyer at the hammer price of £100

after about one month the vendor with receive a payment of £75 .. Back on auction day the buyer pays the Hammer price of £100 plus an additional fee of £30 .

“Item A” is much more likely to have been acquired by a dealer than an end user . “Item A ” will now probably be re offered on Ebay or a specialist website .

The dealer’s asking price for “Item A ” is likely to be £300-£400 and if they a patient they will find a collector or even another dealer who believes a greater price can be asked . How could the original seller achieved a better return than the £75?.

We live in an age where information is at everybody’s fingertips . Had the original seller taken time to research just what specialist websites were asking for items similar to “Item A ” then an email sent to a specialist would have resulted in on offer to buy directly.

Selling in a general auction is a democratic, transparent option favoured when dealing with diseased estates . Traditionally in less enlightened times the auction provided pleasant surprises. Given that generally people were not enlightened achieving a return of £75 for “Item A ” would have been welcome news .

Today it is better to first approach then sell to dedicated professionals. At Arundel Antique Buyers we rely entirely from buying directly . The chances are that we have customers who have travelled from abroad on any given day. In areas such as militaria we are well known in the collecting community.
