Why Are Antiques So Cheap? Because Everyone Lives in the Kitchen

FINALLY, the NYTimes says it! Everyone will believe it now, been waiting for this damn article for 2 yrs. It's true, your stuff has not been a good investment, prices are at 1980's levels. No one wants your boomer memorabilia either. Deal with it: shit happens, times and tastes change. If you have to sell a lot of old stuff now, it's probably liquidation at below cost, that's reality. The win-the-lotto thing is over for grandma's stuff. It would be worse, you could have spent your whole life in the business and were thinking of retiring by selling your inventory.

Many auction houses are struggling to sell the antique furniture items that were once the backbone of their business. https://t.co/Oy9KvxnPOC
