*GO GREEN and Invest in a sure thing! - Invest in Antiques!*
With the economy in a downward turn, antiques are getting a great deal of attention these days! One of the reasons people are turning to antiques is because they are more of a solid return. In other words, they are always worth something! Antiques increase in value the older they get and today’s investors feel better about having something *tangible,* something that they can see, touch and feel, unlike *stocks. *
*With Gold and Silver at an all-time high*, more and more people are turning to collecting. Some of the most sought out collections are estate jewelry, coins, flatware, and furniture. Unlike purchasing new furniture at retail prices, antique furniture can yield a profit after owning even only for a short while.
In addition, with the current election focus on* renewable energy and the idea of “going-green*”, consumers are cognitive the fact that they can assist the environment by “*recycling* “ antiques. What better way to help the environment, reduce waste and have great conversation pieces on exhibit in the home or business! It’s a win-
win and “enjoyable” situation to *invest in antiques*!
So where do you find these great investments? At the *Arizona Antique Show and Sale* this November! It’s the kick off to their winter show schedule, returning after a six month long buying spree.
