Brand new Antiques Central video upload today, Saturday, 4.45pm UK time.
Most people ask whether the antiques trade is dying. I think that’s the wrong question. The real question is:
Are dealers adapting — or repeating the same mistakes and calling it decline?
If you’re in the trade, I’d genuinely like to know:
What’s changed most in your business over the last five years?

Hi everyone, hope you are well. I need your assistance on a channel issue. My last video, all about reselling scams and scammers performed poorly, especially given the important subject matter - link below.
The Sinister Side of Reselling | Scams Exposed!
https://youtu.be/45ppTp9ujOY
If you can spare a second, please can you respond to the poll below to help me get to the bottom of the issue, as there's no point making videos if no-one is going to watch them? I would also be interested in your feedback, so please let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Many thanks, Mark.

💀 The Dark Side of Reselling — Premieres Tonight at 4.45 pm UK Time
https://youtu.be/45ppTp9ujOY
Behind every “easy money” post and every viral flip video lies a darker truth — scams, greed, burnout and the collapse of trust.
In tonight’s new video, I expose what really happens behind the curtain of the reselling world — from fake gurus to organised crime, refund fraud and the emotional toll it takes on good, honest sellers.
If you’ve ever flipped an item, sold on eBay or wondered why the reseller scene feels different lately…
you need to see this one.
👉 Premiere at 5:30 PM (UK) / 12:30 PM (US Eastern)
Question for you:
Have you ever been scammed — or nearly scammed — while buying or selling online?
Tell me what happened in the comments below.

🛍️ Charity shops are at a crossroads! Too expensive for those in need and increasingly resented by shoppers. The only people they seem to be popular with are resellers? Is this the end of charity shops … or just part of their long term evolution?
