Hi guys, new to the forum, had a look through some posts and seen some excellent stuff you have found.
I'm hoping for some advice, I have been putting a small collection together over the last couple of years but due to working such long hours and most weekends I have been limited with how much time I have had to get out searching for items.
I have a new job starting next month, pretty much half the hours I'm doing now and most weekends free. I'm hoping to get out a couple of times a month and start looking to add to my collection whether it's auctions or barn searching.
I am not really in to collecting just one type of thing, If I see something unusual and if I can afford it I try and buy it. I like old advertising stuff as I'm sure most people do, I also like old sports equipment, old musical instruments, transportation stuff, old toys. Anything really.
I don't usually sell stuff but always open to trading, I really want to add to my collection.
I'm quite new to searching for stuff, I have been in a lot of antique shops and can usually trade sports stuff online.
What's the best way to meet people and get to search their collections in barns or garages etc?
I'm based in kent so if anyone wants to get together on a pick, it would be good to meet someone with similar interests and maybe learn a thing or two.
