[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 91383, member: 301"]OK...think about this.. 1.why would an antique dealer in the US want to sell your items...he wants to sell his ! 2.Real estate agents want to sell property....only. 3. designers....maybe ...but you'd have to advertise your services where they would look.... 4.if someone can't walk into his store......then what you're selling are photo's. If you're photo's and descriptions are poor they they'll look cheap on ebay as well as to any individual you present them to. If they are professional and of high quality......why would they look cheap on ebay.....or anywhere else for that matter....??? 5. fostering a personal relationship with clients in another country over the internet where they never meet you or walk in your store is at best something that has to be cultivated over many years and entail a certain amount of word of mouth. I'd suggest you invest heavily in a top line web site , professional photography, and an email...Facebook , blog, and twitter advertising campaign directed at US buyers of whatever it is you're selling. No one's going to hand over their clients to you ....for any less than that ! Good luck......going forward...:)[/QUOTE]
