Antique Trader's Country Americana Price Guide: Price Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This price guide has alot of good information and pictures that can be used for comparison purposes, but if a dealer were to base his prices on some of those in the book, he would end up "sitting on" his inventory for a long time. Even a New York dealer or an ebay seller would have trouble getting some of these prices. I'm a dealer in the middle of antique country in Penna., and specialize in 'country' items. Perhaps the duck decoy for $132,000 is given as an example of an extreme, but the book would be more useful if it just covered the average, good quality antique. There's a tendency today to over-estimate the value of antiques (eg. Antiques Roadshow), but in today's economy, that has just become 'wishful thinking'. Would that it were true.
