There are could be so many obsessive collectors found across the globe who would want to pay any thing and every this for a simple reason of that thing being really old. The thumb rule I solder the stuff is the more expensive it is. It could be an antique, a heritage commodity, an original fossil for that matter. The only criterion is that it has to be old and it would prove to be of real fun and excitement for a collector of old commodities.
