Xplore and Get Collecting!

With economic concerns, it may seem counter-productive but collecting antiques and vintage items it is the right time. 

The antique and vintage markets tend not to be as volatile as newly produced items. It is about supply, quality, providence and collectability. 

Take for example Barbie dolls. In a good condition box, never opened there is more value. And the subject of the Barbie also plays into price. For example, 1950's icon Marilyn Monroe is more valuable than a Lucille Ball. Even though both ladies were creating movies at the same times, Marilyn Monroe is still recognized as the ultimate sex symbol. 

Antiques and vintage are also price sensitive to supply. If you are seeking a vintage '50's style décor can be lots of fun and less expensive than items from the 1700's. For true collectors of an item get to know the common vs the rare items in that genre.
