Travel / Going to Poland and looking for some antiques [24]

I'm not looking for that sign... don't worry... It's already been stolen by some Swedes, but that wasn't me I promise :P

Well, I'll be going to Thailand now for the winter, but if you want to help me find some nice brassware and furniture next spring,

I'd be very greatful!
We could exchange emails and I could send you some pictures what I look for and you could get an approximate price!

Thanks, Krister

Travel / Going to Poland and looking for some antiques [24]

Hey guys!
Thanks for your fast replies!
My car is like a police magnet in Germany, and in Poland I was stopped twice on the same day I was going back from Warszaw to Germany... So I have quite a fear built up. I will not take any chances.

I've found the Kolo market on google... I think I know exactly what you are talking about when you say it's 10 times overpriced. I know for example in the clothes business it's cheaper to buy Polish womans blouses in Stockholm then to buy them at the wholesale market in Lodz.....

Anyway, is there any other way to find nice cheap brassware, silverplated stuff, rococo furniture and clocks? I am going to sell it at the antiques fairs in Sweden next summer. I don't wanna take any risks with the Police..

Thanks a lot! Krister

Anybody been buying antiques at fleamarkets like that one in Kole, Warsaw?
The pictures from the market is amazing, but is it cheap? How can I bargain to get
as fair price as possible? Could it be any legal issues if the Police stop and check my car
on the way back to Sweden?
Anybody can help me with the negotiation if I go there?

Thanx a lot for your comments and suggestions,
