<p>[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 1591874, member: 141"]We have no antique stores left here near me. The last one closed about 6 months ago. How they stayed in biz for all the years (30 or so) was a mystery. It was such a tiny store packed with stuff you could hardly move at all. And the prices were so high. I was in there 3x maybe. There was no place to park and the asking prices were nuts. It was so dusty from being on the shelves for way too long.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably there are antique stores that I don't investigate or am aware of here on LI.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would never go back into working in a store again. I thought it would be ok as it was a family business... retail. It was hard work, trying to please people who were mean and threw tantrums in the store. It was long hours and at times boring. I thought it would be fun... boy I was wrong. LOL</p><p>Oh well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
