same at antique fairs especially those who are inside and specialize on certain things. our living room is nearly all art deco as well as parts of the main bedroom. all the stuff has been either picked up for a song or by silly ebay offers that were accepted. a tip for anyone looking around for collectables is never turn up in a newish expensive car or dress if you are going to a big do. look a bit clean but down at heal and play the poor old pensioner card. it does work.
