Can anyone explain to me why people are interested in buying old tat, and filling their homes with bric-a-brac.
And why they get so exited in buying say a pewter mug with no handle for example, bizarre. |  | | |  |

Lot of money in Antiques.
It's why you don't find them in "deprived " areas |  |

Maybe,however,I'm talking about some people,who buy this crap.
I'm not talking about a one off statement piece,but the tat,I hate tat,and clutter.
Upcycling, blah blah yeah great,but why oh why fill your house full of junk. [Post edited 3 Sep 2017 13:32]

Love an old collectable me.
I have been trying to find an early 1900's presentation coin to commemorate the coronation of King George V given out by the Mayor of Swansea. Preferably with a roughly drilled hole at the top.
So far no luck. |  |

Bargain Hunt were filming down the Botanic Garden of Wales in Carmarthen a couple of months ago, my missus friend and her sister took part, great fun apparently, but here's the thing..... they dont give the contestants 1 hour to find three items as they claim.... they have 3 hours!!! Fix or what 😮 |  |

Yep...you can't beat the old ones. Little bit of lubrication on the hinge...I said 'hinge', FFS...and they're as good as the young ones.
Sorry, OC  | |

An old one closing in is as good as a young one opening out. | | | |

A cousin of mine gave up the day job and makes a living buying at car boot sales, jumble sales etc. and selling online. Does very well for himself, though he has got a trained eye and does a fair bit of research. Loves it when you buy something for £2 and sell it on Ebay for £350. Not so bizarre then jack2jack. |  |

That's great, but why do folk want to fill their houses with 'ol tat.
My parents were lovers of antiques just never got the point,just personal choice i guess.Maybe it put me off. | | | |

I suspect much of that haggling is for entertainment purposes.
I love haggling and tried at several antique and curio shops here . Ive had little success at hard negotiating some really good prices.
Best to waste the Proprietor s time then walk away from the shop ;he might call you back. | |

OP - why do you feel bothered enough to start a thread about it? |  | | |

Everything is mass produced these days for the most part - its nice to find something unique with a bit of history and character.
Obviously its not for everyone - get down IKEA! | | | |
