What do you collect?
In antique collection, desire is an important factor. The reason collectors desire an item may be because of age, scarcity, beauty and other forms of personal connections. Antique collection is growing with the emergence of several markets. The market is spreading everywhere including the internet. When I arrived in Glasgow last year, there was none on the way to my school. I recently discovered that they are now three in number. Now you see, people both young and old, going in from one shop to the other. Antique collection is for people in different economic classes of the society. Rich people usually collect expensive classics because they can afford it. However, you don’t have to be rich to collect but your affluence definitely affects what you collect.
While seeking information about Diesel Birmingham as I was about to make a trip there, I stumbled on an interesting article that claims that age and gender also determine what collectors go after. I really do not believe this since the persons making the claim did not base their opinion on any concrete research. They nevertheless claimed to have owned an antique shop for years. This is why they believe the experience of all those years is enough to make such claims. I am not saying they are wrong; they may be correct but it is hard to base antique collection on gender or any other demographic factor. People go for what they love, desire; what fascinates them and what they feel a connection or attachment to. Antiques collection is more about that than anything else.
