Rarity is a rarity, any rare item that has historical value and a fairly ancient origin. Its Latin name is "raritas". Such a term is mainly applied to exhibits in museums that have no other analogues.
Rarity is something that does not lose its value
Assuming that any monetary system is not reliable, people have always acquired value. Finding and buying a rare thing, the value of which will only grow over the years, is an investment in rarities. As practice shows, every year antiques become more expensive by 20-30 percent. You can determine whether an antique is a rarity with the help of specialists.
Find and purchase a rare item
Experienced people understand that the most profitable investments are made in very expensive things. During an economic downturn, the rarest items on the antiques market are sold faster and more profitably. When there are not enough funds for old paintings by famous authors, but you want to successfully acquire paintings, you can become interested in the works of the authors of the so-called second plan. This refers to the students of the artist, the great master.
Rarity Books
It is believed that collecting old books is preferable to the acquisition of works of art, because it is easier to determine the authenticity of books. When purchasing old books, it is advisable to find copies published during the lifetime of the authors. Please note that if at least one volume is missing in the set, the subsequent sale price will be much lower. It is easier and easier to sell books on history, industry, hunting, and more difficult - language dictionaries, textbooks, medical and highly specialized literature.
Rarities of the USSR
These can be collectibles of those years: postcards, badges, figurines, stamps, calendars, records, pioneer and Komsomol attributes, portraits and busts of communist party leaders and much more. In philately, a unique Tiflis postage stamp was considered valuable in Soviet times. In numismatics, the most famous rarity is the Konstantinovsky ruble. Nowadays, you can buy unique items of historical and artistic value in antique shops, in thrift stores and even at a flea market. Commissions are familiar to everyone from Soviet times. Now here you can find old "propaganda" porcelain, sculptural busts of the Soviet era, which are priced at half the price than in antique shops. Among household items there are such rarities of the USSR as silver cutlery sets, coins, glass holders, trays, porcelain figurines, plates from services produced in ancient times.
In search of antiques, you can go to the flea market. Here you canmeet everything - furniture, paintings, dishes, old appliances, badges, clothes, all this can be bought. Of course, you will not find items of Ancient Rome here, but there is a choice of things from the last century.
Finding a rare rarity is very difficult and exciting, but such investments are reliable. We must remember that in difficult times, only very expensive works of art will not lose their value, such as painting.
