Book Description

Publication Date: May 14, 2009

From signed photographs of Oasis to the complete set of Natwest Pigs, from Swatch watches to Formica chairs, "Are You Rich?" is a fascinating and lively guide to hundreds of modern household items that might now be worth a small fortune. Katherine Higgins details over 300 objects - many of which are lurking in the average attic - that have, sometimes against all odds, become valuable. "Are You Rich?" takes you on a tour through the rooms in your house, helping to identify possible items of value from the last six decades and covering everything from china to bicycles. Fully illustrated and including details of where to buy and sell, along with useful information on key brands to look out for, this is the ultimate guide to being an 'antique' dealer in your own home.
