Antique hunting tips for Parksville

The dealers' own advice, for Parksville:

• Ask for the story at Not Yet An Antique. The best dealers know where pieces came from. The story is part of what you're buying.
• Check for completeness at Upstairs Bazaar. Missing handles, finials, leaves, or lids crater value. Count the parts before you count the cost.
• Buy the best you can afford. One excellent piece beats five mediocre ones. Quality holds value; quantity just holds dust.
• Beware the reproduction. Good fakes exist for everything collectible. If the price seems too good, assume reproduction until proven otherwise.
