<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 1297614, member: 1262"]Was at an long established smaller antique mall this weekend and about 30% of the vendors had their booths so overflowing with items that I didn't even attempt to enter. Not going to risk having an avalanche on my dime ..... I sometimes have to wonder if that is indeed the business plan. Many of these types of vendors have prices nearly twenty years out of date and the faded price tags are difficult to read. I asked an mall employee if they could check a price for me on an item and they said that they steer clear of that booth so I didn't press the issue. I did however see another customer a middle-aged lady doing a contortionist like dance trying to get to an item in that booth ...... entertaining for sure. Was waiting to hear the crashing of glass and shelving.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
