<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 10219190, member: 51&quot;]I remember when Antiques Roadshow first came out (very early in my reselling career) a friend who had two antique stores said it &quot;changed everything and was the worst thing that ever happened&quot;, lol.&nbsp; She&#039;d go to a home to look at items for sale and people were convinced everything they had was worth big bucks because they &quot;saw it on Antiques Roadshow&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay.&nbsp; Suddenly buyers realized there were (for example) millions of Hummels out there.&nbsp; It made certain items more collectible, others less.&nbsp; In either case, it definitely brought the antique buying/selling business into every home.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then more things online.&nbsp; The thrifts realized they could make more $$ by pulling and listing online.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now Google image.&nbsp; The economy is shit for young people, and there are so many Youtubes (many &quot;scripted&quot;) on how to make it rich at thrift stores. It&#039;s actually painful to watch some of the Youtubes because it makes it looks so easy when it is anything but, so deceiving to get views.&nbsp; I see lots of younger people using their phones at thrifts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would say it&#039;s never been harder to make a go of this business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
