Hobbies And Interests
Antique Stores
While antique stores have a constantly rotating inventory, antiques dealers are also frequently networked with other local dealers. Often if one dealer cannot supply a specific item, he will contact other dealers in the area for you.
Auction Sites
From WorthPoint and eBay, to private auction houses, auction sites provide a huge resource for perfume bottles because of their far-reaching clientele and extensive network of collections. Take precautions when using sites not vetted by the Better Business Bureau, especially with large sums of money.
Estate Sales
Estate sales, particularly in affluent areas, can be an exceptional resource for collectible items and decorative pieces such as French perfume bottles. Estate sales, as well as items listed for sale, are usually advertised in the classified section of a city newspaper.
Flea Markets
Flea markets may not always carry the selection or quality that antique shops do, but they remain a valuable resource for finding accidental treasures. Shop managers are often as well-connected as antiques dealers and the prices are typically significantly lower.
