Have an old collection you’ve outgrown, auction it off at eBay and you might just hit it big with an antique or two somebody has been looking for in along time. Family heirlooms should however remain as heirlooms so keep them under lock and key for the time when you can pass it on to your children. Many more tips the next time round, see yah!
