I used to be a regular on The PGP Board many years ago when I sold on eBay. My eBay ID was (southernbelle) Took a few years off to buy a huge antique mall - talk about a handful!!! Things are just now settling down and I am getting back to eBay (when my light box gets here this week!). Afraid my IDing skills are rough, but I'll help when I can!
Welcome to the forums! Would love to hear some "Tales of the Antique Mall" as a collector interested in the business aspects of collecting, dealing.
EBay is easier! You can work in your PJ's at home and work at 3am if you so choose. Can't do that at an antique mall! I have 75 dealers renting space....so that is 75 different personalities....but they are like family. Would trade any one of them. I have about a 2yr waiting list to get a booth. I'm flattered folks want to be here! I was surprised at the number of folks that come in off the street selling stuff...or giving it away. Makes acquiring stock a breeze. Customers can be a challenge - wanting everything 1/2 price....and body odor - way more bad smells than I anticipated, LOL! If you have any specific questions, just let me know.
