Investing in Collectables An Investor's Guide to Turning Your Passion Into a Portfolio
This is the ultimate guide to collecting, investing in and making money from collectables.
Here's the publisher's synopsis on this fairly detailed book:
Ever wanted to make money from investing in something you love? Whether you're looking to make money from your hobby or collection, or you're a serious investor seeking to profit from your passion or diversify your portfolio, Investing in Collectibles contain all you need to know. Inside youll discover:
- tips for making a profit on your collection
- how to buy and sell through art dealers and private sale, and at auctions
- tax and other legislation governing collectibles as an investment
- how to invest through self managed superannuation funds or trusts
- how to detect fakes and forgeries.
This is the ultimate guide to collecting, investing in and making money from collectables.
Our thoughts are that if you're interested in taking your collecting "seriously", and are thinking of developing a structured approach to the way you build your collection, there's a lot of great information in this book that'll get you on your way.
It covers a range of subjects that are worth mulling over by any collector, as you can see from the table of contents:
- Collectables as an investment
- Types of collectables
- International markets
- Caring for and displaying collectables
- The legal framework and collectables
- Buying and selling through dealers and privately
- Buying and selling at auction
- Buying and selling online
- Dos and don'ts when buying and selling collectables
- Fraud
- How to make money from investing in collectables
Ironically, we picked a few dozen copies of this book from the liquidated assets of the Rare Coin Company - a company that specialized in "investment" quality coins and banknotes that went into receivership owing customers millions of dollars!
Reading this book in that context is interesting indeed - if more of their clients had actually read this book and implemented the ideas that are in it, they would never have gotten into the trouble that they did.
The book retailed at $34.95 when it first came out - we've set the cost here to cover the cost of postage, so it has to be worth the ask price!
