Search out a quality auctioneer

One of the best places to find antiques is at an auction. You can find auction listings in many places, including the classified ads of your local newspaper. But once you're ready to jump in with your wallet, attend auctions only conducted by reputable auction houses. Check with the Better Business Bureau, your state's auctioneer licensing office if you have one, or your county or state consumer protection office.

The National Auctioneers Association (NAA) is another resource for auction listings and other information. Only members can post an auction on their Web site, ensuring each one is run by a reputable auctioneer. Visit them at www.auctioneers.org. Once you've been to an auction house you like and trust, you can get on their mailing list to receive notices of upcoming events.

All the best,
