What could be finer than to turn one of your favorite things, into a business as well as still being your hobby? I have always loved hunting for treasure. Once I realized that whenever I had money to spend, I was finding myself in all the local thrift stores; I began to more carefully examine my life's preferences. I had also recently purchased two metal detectors. I realized that hunting for treasures was a favorite pasttime for as far back as I can remember! I believe in uniqueness. Once I got tired of viewing "55" of the same item at the stores and malls, I began to understand one of the reasons why I loved the older more collectible items in life. They are so unique and special. Many times I can hold an article in my hand and it will just transport me to another time; a time when I was younger perhaps. A lovely collectible item can bring up a great memory, that I think maybe would have never been brought up. Many times, it gives me a smile....and even better if I am treasure hunting with a friend and we both get the same smile. I have created a quaint little permanent "estate sale" online. I will be adding new items each week for everyone to look for their own special treasures, and I have done all the leg work for you already. There are new, used, vintage and collectibles.

Saleroomjoy should attract gifters, family members, decorators, collectors, and treasure hunters, and auctioneers.

Do you know which metals to polish and which ones you might should let a patina develop on them? Well, I would say from my experience to polish your silver and gold. I would suggest to let your bronze and copper get a nice antique patina on them. I understand that it increases the value of antiques. With brass, and pewter; it may be a matter of taste whether you polish or not. I would probably just clean them occasionally myself, as again I would like the patina to develop if they are already vintage items. And with steel or iron items, you should use a wire brush and get the rust off them, wash and wrap in newspaper for a few days. Then preserve them with a coating of lacquer or wax polish. I think we should never let go of the adventures in life....it is how grown ups have fun...... Lalala999 (talk) 00:31, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
