charity shops get alot of money off me in my area, i know i profit off them but its a mutual survival thing.

this is the best ever profit i’ve had though, i’ve had a £266 erner from a charity shop before but nothing in this league…

it might shock a few folk on here but i’m one of the leading authoritys on 20c art glass in the uk if not the world.

i’m a full time dealer with a shop n everything, if i’m not out serching for stuff i’m on line reading and reserching. find something you like then reserch it find out what other pieces they did then find out who there influences were and competitors then reserch them…

start with a millers guide to collectables then go from there.
