Summary/Abstract: Right after the ‘90s, every Romanian who had an old item, even if it wasn’t high quality stuff, felt like sitting on a treasure and used to ask you for an eye if you wanted to buy it. All the more as the first so-called ‘antique shops’ were more consignments of goods, meaning that the owner of the item set the price which, in many cases, didn’t represent the object’s real value but that subjectively assumed by the owner. They used to ask for a fortune on junks or ridiculous sums on amazing things whose value they completely ignored. Hence, during this first faze of the antique shops, one could buy extraordinary things for very low prices.
