Find Antique Oak Furniture Off The Beaten PathIf you happen to have a great love of antiques, but are just starting your collection, here are some great places to look for some great pieces. Swap Meets - Swap Meets and Flea Markets are great places to find those "diamonds in the rough" antique pieces that we are all looking for. Moving, Yard, and Garage Sales - Have spare time on the weekend? Check your local newspaper listings for these types of sales.
Auctions - Many areas have professional auction companies that can be hired to take care of the disposition of many household items for a cut of the sale. The important thing about auctions is that you need to visit the auction house during the inspection period prior to the auction and pick out the pieces that you want to bid on. Private Estate Sales - These are the Holy Grail for antique buyers. Bring your money as well.
Most of these types of sales are conducted by people that know what they are doing, but with a large estate, it's often impossible for the person to have up to date information on every single piece that is for sale. It's okay to make an offer for less than the listed price for an item, unless the conductor of the sale says otherwise, but make sure your offer is reasonable relative to the item you are interested in.
