How do you become an antique dealer?

Im 14 years of age and im interested in antiques Ive been to many auctions and learnt most of the basics. Can you recommend any items to start collecting at my age?

To become a collector you must start buying items that you would like to collect. Find things that you like. To become a dealer I would say you should start by finding good deals on items. You must be able to buy the item for a good price in order to mark the price up to make a profit. It will take a lot of research to be able to know what an item is worth. At your age, I would suggest to try to sell a few items here and there on Ebay. Good luck.
