EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

There's the whole industry behind all the dealers and antique shows and publications and even flea markets, and of course they have TV shows, don't get cable anymore but there was At the Auction, Bargain Hunt, Roadshow (no need for the whole name), and a slew of others. That was driving HGTV for a long time.

I've had doorknobs, too, mostly glass Victorian style. But over time I find most things get average value, about what you'd expect from inflation, a few dozen sell well, and a handful suprise on the upside. But it's like watching grass grow.
