I've always been a big reader so after my injury and with more time to read I would buy books at yard sales and flea markets. Soon I figured out I could find books pretty cheap and resale them online. After that I also started going to auctions and doing the same with antiques. </p><p><br /></p><p>It has been quite a journey to this point but it's something I very much enjoy and can actually do while being on crutches.

[QUOTE="Josh.in.Ark, post: 360949, member: 4936"]Hello everyone, this is my first post so I would like to introduce myself. My name is Josh and I'm 27 from Arkansas. There have been several times I've came across this site while looking for information on things and I've already learned a lot on here. Now I hope to become more engaged. I've been around antiques and flea markets all of my life but how I got started in this business is a bit more complicated. Up until 3 years ago I worked on cattle farms and did agriculture construction. Then one day at work I injured my leg and could no longer do the manual labor required. I've always been a big reader so after my injury and with more time to read I would buy books at yard sales and flea markets. Soon I figured out I could find books pretty cheap and resale them online. After that I also started going to auctions and doing the same with antiques. It has been quite a journey to this point but it's something I very much enjoy and can actually do while being on crutches. Things I collect are books, metal fans, coins, branding irons, primitives, pottery and antiques related to Arkansas and the South. Thank you all for reading along. I already have tons of questions about different items I've acquired and look forward to learning from you all and helping others with the things I know about.[/QUOTE]
