A trader is someone who doesn't have their own shop, but takes part in an indoor market that is open year round. Traders can also be those who sell their antiques at flea markets. Serious collectors know their antique niche inside and out. They are usually seeking specific pieces in a specific condition. These collectors also have a set spending limit. Runners are those people who buy antiques for dealers. They are called runners because that is what they do; they are constantly on the road looking for pieces at great prices.

CONCLUSION

an antique item in its "original condition" means that the item still has all the original pieces it was made with, which can also add value to the item. Another commonly used term is "patina," which is the look of an item caused by years of polish, dirt, grease build-up, and wear and tear, which antique dealers consider as the thing that gives character to an antique item.
