Resale of Flint Glass Collections

Video Transcript

"Talking about your flint glass, for resale value, in my opinion collecting glass over the years, I've found that you can buy this glass, which I think is relatively inexpensive considering the age of the glass and how it's survived and the beauty of it. The resale value it will hold its value as long as you don't damage it in the process of when you have it if you're handling it or using it, it will retain its value. I think there's a large area where you'll see that there's lots of room to move on these pieces. You can buy them inexpensively and I really feel that they're only going to go up. Considering that they're 150 years old now and they've survived. The only place for them to go is up. So I would say as an investment, they're a good investment. Although a tangible investment, something you have to be careful you don't break because if you break them or chip them they do lose their value. So I'd keep that in mind if you're using a piece that's worth $200 and you're drinking out of it everyday or using it in your refrigerator, you have to realize that if you chip it, it is going to lose its value, but on the other hand if you keep your collection in tact and it stays in one piece it's only going to increase over the years and I think there is alot of room for these pieces to increase in value. So my recommendation is use them, be careful and enjoy them and someday you may find them to be worth alot more than you paid for them."
