This bargain lover has long been involved in buying and reselling unique items.
“I always try to find something special that might have great value,” says Hatton.
Those who also want to unearth their hidden treasure can use the advice of experts: it is important to carefully inspect all items, studying their condition and possible history. It is also advisable to pay attention to artists' signatures and stay informed about current trends in collecting.
