Hi Tag Poppers
Today. The middle of winter. It's cold outside. Not too many sales going on.
Instead. Think about ways to improve your shopping savvy.
I have mentioned in a previous post that it is to the shopper's benefit to be educated in the products you purchase. If you know what type of merchandise you are attracted to make it a point to learn about the items. For instance, I love the antiques roadshow. Today while going through files to purge I had the tv on and the Antiques Roadshow was on. I love furniture. I learned that when you pull a drawer out and examine the way it is put together, you can determine a rough age of the piece. You can also get an idea as to the type of wood used and if it was re-painted or re-varnished (which greatly reduces the value).
I will continue to purchase wood furniture with the intention of refinishing it, but my plan is to approach the piece as if it is in the best possible condition and then evaluate the possibilities. I'm going to put this new information to use as the weather begins to warm and the sales get hot!!!
