How to Buy Fossils Wisely
Summary
When adding to your fossil collection, it's essential to be informed about the fossils you desire and the dealers you're considering.
Don't Overpay!
Fossils are available in many gift shops, rock shops, and nature stores. However, caution is crucial?"fossils are unique, and this exclusivity can lead to hefty price tags. Ensure your dealer is reputable, knowledgeable, and not overcharging.
A Shopping Tip
During a visit to a jewelry store, we found expensive Canadian ammonites alongside equally beautiful but overpriced Madagascar ammonites. While priced at $300, a fair value would be $50 to $100. This isn’t the best place to buy fossils.
Price Guide Strategy
When visiting a new fossil shop, I check the prices of common fossils like trilobites, ammonites, orthoceras, and fossil shark teeth. These are available in various qualities, sizes, and prices. I compare their prices with those I've encountered elsewhere. This comparison helps categorize the shop as:
1. Overpriced: I avoid buying here.
2. Fairly Priced: I might purchase something appealing.
3. Great Prices: I’m likely to buy fossils here.
Remember, price isn't the only factor?"ensure the quality, size, and variety are comparable.
Talk to the Shop Owner
Engage informally with the shop owner. Learn why they are in this business. A background in geology or paleontology is a good sign, but passion for fossils is key. Ask about their experience, business longevity, and if they stand behind their sales and claims.
The more expensive the fossil, the more critical it is to know your dealer. High-priced fossils are significant investments, so conduct thorough research.
