By: Chekkout.com In history Any historical museum makes a considerable use of antiques in order to illustrate historical events and give them a practical context. Virtually any object can become an antique if it survives long enough, but value of an antique in the market place is determined by its appeal and social acceptance. For example museums exist of ephemera, that is of objects and items that would normally be thrown away, such as packaging and advertising flyers and posters. Pejoratively The term "antique" is pejorative in some instances to imply that something is out of date. "Antiquing" is the act of shopping, identifying, negotiating, or bargaining for antiques. Items can be bought for personal use, gifts, and in the case of brokers and dealers, profit. Antiquing is performed at garage sales, estate sales, resort towns, antiques districts, collectives, and international auction houses. Note that the word "antiquing" may also refer to the art of making an object appear antique through distressing or applying an antique looking paint application. # # # Chekkout Is A Great Place To Bid, Buy, Sell Items, Search And Post Jobs Online at http://www.chekkout.com End
