[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 1814046, member: 147"]I am on the board of our local antique dealers association, one of my jobs is posting coming attractions on our web site. Right now all I am posting is images of show cards with slashes through them because they are cancelled :arghh: Yard and estate sales are being cancelled or postponed. Thrifts, pawn shops, vintage and antique stores are closed. Summer is our make or break season. I worry about a few of our members who live show to show. One I know usually can't pay to be in a show until he sells something during the show. I also sell at a local flea market and those dealers really depend on what they make there. If we can get at least a decent July and August they may be OK - though money will be very tight for them. I hope you are right komokwa, I know when sales start up again I will be chomping at the bit to get to them![/QUOTE]
