For over forty years, I’ve supported my globetrotting lifestyle by buying overseas and importing into the United States
a long list of high value items. In recent years, people who have helped me buy items have suggested that they would be willing
to continue to supply those items, after I departed their country. From these offers, Beowulf Trading was born. I’m
expanding the business to allow me to spend my time seeing the world rather than trying to find a source of antiques, art,
collectibles, gemstones, mineral specimens and other items as I visit your country.
Once you have proven that you can work with me exporting small European antiques, we offer a variety of other marketable
high value export options. I can involve you in projects that naturally evolve from your export business, if you so desire.
We can discuss these options, when we meet.
Over the years, I have shipped investment grade insects to Germany, Caribbean marine specimens to American Universities in
the Midwest, and reptiles to wholesalers in California. Economic and regulatory changes quickly made these exports uneconomic.
Until I realized the financial risk, I surface-shipped frozen Asian tiger prawns to California. I know scores of income strategies
for making money outside the United States. Exporting European antiques and collectibles is Beowulf Trading’s starting
program for anyone who wants to work with us.
Between 1972 and 1982, I shipped gem rough and museum quality mineral specimens from South America and West Africa to European
and American Markets. Western demand and retail prices for gems and minerals contracted over the decade as prices at my sources
increased. The business died, because it wasn’t very profitable after 1982.
Antiques and collectibles have been consistently profitable imports for over four decades. The people of most countries that
were subject to European rule don’t revere the Colonial artifacts. European heirlooms are rarely subject to export regulation,
by these countries. Antiques are exempt from U.S. Customs duties. Four centuries of Colonialism have created a vast supply
of European antiques in the backroads and byways of many former European colonies. It’s a treasure hunt to find these
objects d'art. Doing so can sustain anyone living in most of the world in a comfortable upper middle class lifestyle. It's
easy work, once you learn the basics of doing it. I'm anxious to teach you those basic techniques that will make you very
successful.
