<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scoutshouse, post: 146190, member: 267&quot;]When I worked in the Mid-Century Modern retail industry in an &quot;alternative&quot; San Francisco neighborhood with a really diverse clientele, some buyers came from miles - sometimes cities - away, knowing exactly what they were looking at and decided on condition whether or not to buy. No matter how much they wanted it, if it wasn&#039;t perfect, they couldn&#039;t force themselves to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some just rolled in having spent their Saturday morning poring over the weekend paper design section, hoping to score something everyone else was looking for and only willing to buy if it was at a ridiculous bargain (Martha Stewart found it at a thrift store, why shouldn&#039;t they)!</p><p><br /></p><p>I worked for friends who obviously knew what they were doing and sold to both. They let me bring my own stuff in and weren&#039;t shy about telling me it was junk - sometimes they were just posturing, but if I was interested enough to look around, eventually I found they were often right - it was junk! They taught me a lot about being more critical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
