Taking a Look at Antique Jewellery Wholesale
By Uchenna Ani-Okoye
Antique jewellery is typically very valuable, and purchasing such jewellery costs quite a bit of money. But then again, it is possible to buy antique jewellery wholesale as well - if you know where to look.
Most people think that online auctions, such as eBay are the way to go. While this is true occasionally, you will usually find that the seller knows the value of what they are selling, and the price is quite high. There are other ways to find antique jewellery at wholesale prices - or below.
Keep an eye on your newspaper for advertised estate sales and garage sales. Typically, at these sales, the people holding the sale really don't know the value of what they have. You can literally purchase hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of antique jewellery for just a few dollars on a typical
Saturday morning.
It is important that you not look too closely at the jewellery when you are buying it. If the piece is valuable, you don't want the seller to know how valuable it is! It isn't your fault that they didn't get it appraised - as you will as soon as you leave! Keep a straight face, keep your happiness and joy to yourself, and pay the fifty cents or two bucks that they want for the piece, get in your car and head to a trusted jeweller for an appraisal!
It is possible that the piece isn't worth anything - but occasionally, you will stumble across some real finds! Even if the piece isn't worth anything, if you make jewellery, you may be able to disassemble it for the parts.
Finding antique jewellery wholesale is very exciting. In fact, spending those Saturday mornings at the yard sales and estate sales may even become addicting! Yard sales and estate sales - especially estate sales where grandchildren are not interested in their grandma's old ugly jewellery are the best sources for antique jewellery at wholesale prices - or below wholesale prices.
This doesn't mean that there aren't some real find on eBay as well, so don't discount it. Keep an eye on the jewellery categories, as well as the antique or vintage categories. When you do find something you want to bid on, make sure that the seller has a good reputation. If the piece is very expensive, use the escrow service that is recommended by eBay. Also talk to the seller quite a bit to be sure that you understand exactly what is being advertised!
