[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 566810, member: 31"]Thanks for all of your thoughtful replies. As for my store - the building,s owner put it up for sale 6 weeks ago. He still hasn't settled his father's estate and it's the last thing he and his sister are fighting about. It already has an offer, which is a huge shock(to me, anyway). Gardner, MA downtown is very depressed with many empty buildings. The owner has accepted the offer, but the building has to be inspected. If it passes, they will pass papers the first week in May. Meanwhile, my father has been in rehab since February and will not be able to return to his home. He has just been okayed to move into the assisted living area of the place he's at, so that is good. Before I knew that that the building my store is in was being listed, I offered to be in charge of cleaning out my parent's house, getting it ready to go on the market, and dealing with the realtor. My father has not actually agreed to sell the house yet, but although he has a good pension and a good deal of money socked away, the house will have to be sold eventually in order for him to stay where he is, and noone wants to be in charge of his empty house next winter (we all live at least an hour away). So now I am scrambling to sell off two huge floors of inventory, without actually saying that the store is closing. There are other tenants in the building and the owner doesn't want them to know that it has been sold until it passes the inspection. If anyone lives within driving distance of me and needs smalls you should really consider coming out to my store and getting them for practically nothing. I don't have the room nor do I want to bring stuff home. Of course, this doesn't stop me from buying more stuff. Here's the building: [ATTACH=full]172592[/ATTACH] My store is the entire left half of the building on the first floor and the lower level.[/QUOTE]
