Antiques For Sale

Antiques for Sale By Elton Camp Got some junk you’d like to sell at a high price? There’s a way that, for the gullible, works nice To get the outrageous price that you will seek Give it the expensive-sounding name “antique” Real antiques must be at least 100 years old But many people believe what they’re told So a ratty old chest worth about twenty buck Will sell for $500 if you have real good luck A cheap vase that is a recent China import May sell very high if to fraud you will resort But in order to have this type of unethical fun Be sure not to mention anything about Taiwan Items that are made from cheap pressed glass As being “Fostoria” you may be able to pass And any age cheaply-made glass bowl or plate Is expensive if “depression glass” you relate A marketing mistake that is especially wrong Fail to remove the label “made in Hong Kong” People’s ignorance is the principal reason why They may go away feeling they got a great buy
