Product Description
Product Description
"Jonty's Boot Fair Secrets" shows you how to separate the wheat from the chaff. Sometimes the subtlest variation to an item's colour, backstamp or shape, can make a big difference to its price. Jonty will point out the features to look for on items from the most popular collecting areas such as toys, ceramics, books and comics. Other features include 'How to Spot Fakes', 'Jonty Compares' (comparing a high priced items next to a similar looking lower priced item), 'How to Date' items and 'Market Reports'. There is also a chapter on 'How to Buy and Sell' at Boot Fairs, local auctions and on the internet. With so much informations contained in one pocket guide finding the hidden treasure will be much easier.
