A few tips from Swedish Lantliv.
Remember to:
- Bring cash when visiting a farm auction. And bring a chair if you feel like sitting down, which is nice when good weather.
- Check porcelain twice. It might be damaged.
- Gustavian furniture painted gray may be fixed to look old. Painted black has been popular for a while too, check for damages and renovations. Black is an excellent colour to hide changes.
- Small items may switch places in boxes during show. When your box is sold perhaps you should take a second look to make sure everything is in there.
- Don't be too eager. At farm auctions many items may cost much more than at a city auction during autumn and winter.
- Check where bids are starting so that your first bid automatically is the starting bid.
- Check who you're bidding against so no one in your family is bidding on the same item.
Good luck!
