Buying vintage collections - tips, lessons learned and advice

[Belfast1933]

Hello all
Like most of us here, I am a collector first and foremost but do sell from time to time to help pay for my own collection.

I’ve learned a ton here and am back to ask about your collective experience, advice and lessons learned to buy large, vintage collections

Here are a few conversation starting questions, if you’d be willing to share:

How do you get started in buying large, vintage collections?

When you do have an opportunity to evaluate and purchase a vintage collection, what are your lessons learned to be sure you put a fair offer for both buyer and seller?

Thanks for sharing this your experiences - good, bad and in-between
