		<description><![CDATA[People buy antiques and collectibles for several reasons , rich or poor; 

The quality of the item is better than anything you can but today especially furniture. It was built to last hundreds of years.

The history behind an item.

Because it is something that you find pleasing to look at, sit on, hold in your hands.

The thrill of the hunt for that one perfect piece to fill a collection.

A passion for the story, history and life behind the items you purchase.

I am far from rich and collecting has been part of my life since I was young... hand me downs and all.

You don&#039;t find many used mattresses at antique shops or wobbly furniture. The only clothes you will find are nice, clean vintage items or new items with a vintage look to them.

I take it you are not a collector nor do you hold an appreciation for something that still survives after 100 yrs., no passion for the past or history.

If you are not a collector you will never understand.]]></description>
