Whether you’re furnishing your own house or looking for bargains to sell on, there’s bound to be something that catches your eye at an auction. All kinds of furniture can be found at bargain prices at antique auctions. Antique chairs can be a good buy and come in styles to suit any home.
Preparing For The Auction
Before going to the auction you should consider what you want to buy. If the auction has a catalogue available in advance, look through it and pick the items you want to bid on. Take a look at the guide prices and think about how much you would be willing to pay.
Whether buying for yourself or for resale it’s a good idea to have a total budget in mind before you start bidding. There are always a few genuine bargains at any auction, but some items will go for well over the guide price and you need to know your limit before the bidding starts.
What To Buy At Auction?
When buying from antique auctions the rule is always to buy what you like. Even if you intend to sell, if you like it, it’s likely others will too. When buying for your own home remember that you have to live with what you buy, so make sure it’s practical as well as decorative.
