<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnnycb09, post: 10287393, member: 27&quot;]I have a friend who had several booths for years in a very well established antique mall in a &quot;hipster&quot; area. While I never had a booth myself, he would sell things for me on occasion . Even he threw in the towel after the booths rent went up and up. He didnt blame the mall owner,the old wretch that owns the building has raised her rent so much its barely sustainable for her. I say old wretch because he wouldnt fix the plumbing but then paid someone $250,000 to lay granite pavers in the back alley of the store. An alley that no one sees,I might add. He could have paved it with something far cheaper im sure. I told my friend the problem was is he knew too much ! So his prices reflected that. Wich was fine for a long time but not so much now. Yes,it may be a rare Newcombe pottery vase,but not many folks are going to splash out $3000 on it. Besides that he told me a good 50% of his sales was to other dealers,and they arent buying as much now either. He always swore the average sale in stores like that are $10 . Wich sounds right to me because you all know how tight I am with a dollar ! I agree with others who said give it a bit of time and see if they do well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
