Question by weakestlink11: What is the typical or minimum dealer markup on antiques and collectibles?
Also, what happened to all the flea markets? Thirty years ago, my parents spent all weekend going to antique and collectible shows and flea markets. Now these venues are just empty fields or buildings housing other businesses now.

Answer by Duffer McDivott
I’m not a dealer, but if I had to guess, I’d say they have to make at least double on an investment. If they see an item at a tag or estate sale for $ 20 and they figure they can only get $ 30 for it, they aren’t going to buy it – it would have to be $ 15 or less for them to be interested, and they will always haggle to get it for the lowest possible price.

As for flea markets – with the economy in severe recession, antiques are one of the first commodities to suffer. People need their money for necessities, so they aren’t going to be spending it on trinkets and dust-catchers. Ergo, the flea markets go out of business.

Question by debodun: What good are price guides on antiques when people won’t pay those prices?
The term “book price” intimidates potential buyers, so why are there so many price guides published? I’ve noticed on Ebay that things like glassware, pottery and other “collectibles” usually sell for 10 to 50% of the current book prices.

Question by Eleanor: Antique clothing buyer in Seattle area??
I recently recovered several velvet dressing gowns, silk blouses, and other items of clothing from around 1920 from my grandmother’s basement. Someone told me that they would be worth a lot if I were to sell them- however, I don’t know where / who to sell them to? Help please!

Hi Eleanor… try:
Isadora’s Antique Clothing
1915 First Ave
Seattle, WA 98101-1010
Phone: (206) 441-7711

I have not been there, I would call before going to be sure they still are in business.

Maybe you can try the higher end consignment shops…there are some in Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland…

Hope this helps!
