Creative Antiquing Money Secrets

Welcome To The Great Antique Hunt

For years, when friends would talk about their antique collections, I felt a little (okay, more than a little) intimidated. I used this standing joke when asked if I collected any artifacts, "Why of course! You should see the collection of dust I have at home. It's all over the house."

Since then, I've taken a second look at antiquing. I had always been a history buff, but then I found an actual historical item or two that I thought were really interesting, and that's all it took.

I was off. I had signed up, evidently, for the Great Antique Hunt. Unfortunately, I knew very little about the several pieces I initially purchased -- despite my knowledge of history. And my hunt was more like a game of pin the tail on the donkey. I felt blindfolded and as if someone had twirled me around. There I was making decisions upon which I knew very little. Needless to say, not all of them were the wisest.

In my first several months of collecting, I discovered -- looking back with that inevitable 20-20 hindsight -- how much money I actually wasted on what I thought at the time were quality antique pieces

Finally, I was able to stop myself, take my blindfold off, and just digest the hobby a bit farther. And that made all a world of difference. The next several purchases I made not only delighted me, but were appraised and valued as a smart move. (Imagine that! Me! Performing some smart moves!)

And as I sat down one evening with a cup of tea, content in my day's purchases, I wondered how many others were wandering aimlessly like I had been. And that's when I vowed to write a small compendium that would give the novice antique collector a solid beginning in the hobby and provide the veteran with a great review.

Shea Butter for Smooth, Hydrated Skin
Schick Intuition Plus Advanced Moisture provides intense moisture to calm dry, irritated skin. This formula features vitamin A-rich Shea Butter along with soothing aloe for silky, soft results. When you start shaving, the skin moisturizing solid reacts with water and melts just enough to create a light foam. Intuition Plus razors allow you to lather and shave in one easy step. Without the need for a separate shave gel, soap, or body wash, you'll save time while simultaneously hydrating your skin.
Contoured Cartridge with Four-Blade Pivoting Head
Designed specifically for a woman's body, the curves of the cartridge follow your natural shape. The pivoting head provides greater flexibility and can glide into hard-to-reach areas. Its four-blade design offers multiple points of contact between blade and skin for an effortless way to achieve the closest shave possible. For added convenience, you'll know it's time to replace the cartridge when you see or feel any part of the green base beneath the moisturizing solid.
The Schick Intuition Plus Advance Moisture with Shea Butter cartridges are designed for use with any Intuition Plus razor.
