<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 9511666, member: 13605"]My husband and i had an antique and Gun store for 5 years 67 east of Kansas City, Missouri right off I-70. We closed before covid because we were tired of 16 hour days in "retirement" .He still sells guns out of the house and i have garage sales in an attempted to get rid of stock (and allow me to still do a little treasure hunting ) If I buy something I have to sell something. My clientele are mostly people I met through the store that have booths in Antique Malls. I set my prices so they can still make money. They stock up because i have things they just can't find with out running all over the country. Easy one stop shopping for them. I asked how the sales were in their booths and most say items $20 or less sell well. I have some people new to me that have made the comment "well finally a garage sale advertising antiques that really has antiques instead of Hobby Lobby crafty stuff." They give me their number for my next sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
