You can choose the price, but not the condition.
"All vintage items are one-of-a-kind items"
I say it all the time, but it's definitely true.
While it is interesting and fun because it is a one-of-a-kind item,
Sometimes it can be a hassle to not be able to buy the same thing every time.
But really, this is part of the fun.
Whether you find that interesting or not can be the trigger for you to get hooked on vintage.
So, this time I will write about the things I want you to pay attention to when buying vintage items.
First of all, you can choose whether it is expensive or cheap.
This is about whether it fits your budget.
If it's expensive, you can give up on buying it,
If it's cheap, it's easier to decide to buy it.
However, as I wrote in yesterday's blog, if price is the only deciding factor in your purchase, then you should definitely avoid it.
On the other hand, "not being able to choose the condition" means,
Since the items in the store are one-of-a-kind, there are no others that are the same.
This means that only one of the items exists.
The ``dial'', which is the most important face of a watch, has a different expression depending on the various environments.
Clocks also change depending on the country or region in which they are used.
It goes without saying, but ``If the condition is good, the price will be higher than if it is in bad condition.''
The key to vintage items that cannot be judged solely by price is the condition.
Of course, prices vary depending on the store, but
Just because the selling price is high, it cannot be said that the price is too high.
On the other hand, just because it's cheap, you can't say it's in bad condition.
As a general rule, when it comes to vintage items, you should definitely look at them in the store, listen to their stories, and then buy them.
Therefore, one point to consider when purchasing is
You should definitely pay attention to the conditions.
It's not wrong to make a decision based on price alone, but
If you don't decide on your own strengths, you'll never be able to buy anything.
The "conditions" also vary depending on the person.
Some people prefer near-new condition;
Some people say it's okay to have damage because it's a vintage item.
But if you think it's better if it's in good condition, you should get it even if it's over your budget.
Because once it sells, you will never be able to buy it in the same condition again.
Even if you find something in similar condition, the price is often higher.
It may not be much, but
If the same items are lined up but with different conditions and prices,
No matter how high the price, you should choose the one in good condition first.
When you actually hold the real thing in your hands,
There is a big difference in making judgments based on images alone.
If possible, see it in the store, but if it's difficult, ask the store staff for details.
If you are satisfied with this idea, please step into the vintage world.
I hope that what I have written today will be of some help to those who are interested in vintage items.
There are many things I don't understand about the vintage world.
But with just a little bit of knowledge and the courage to step up to the plate, it can be really fun.
