<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 170339, member: 878&quot;]Fantastic idea. Unfortunately doomed before it starts, in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The generation Y /millenniums, now in their 20s, 30s, are too mixed to categorize into any one group. I believe you will find too many personalities with a very wide range of preferences and tastes to narrow it down to what is best for all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s choose the current members of antiquers.com whom we could fit into the 20 to 40 age groups. All obviously have an interest in &quot;old things,&quot; but how many of them would prefer a 1950 Eames lamp - <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/322227177407?rmvSB=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/322227177407?rmvSB=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/322227177407?rmvSB=true</a>&nbsp; currently in the $25 range versus a <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/search?keyword=pacific%20coast" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/search?keyword=pacific%20coast" rel="nofollow">Pacific Coast</a> <font size="4">Oak Vine Table Lamp at Macys&nbsp; </font>Sale $299.91&nbsp; Reg. $429.00. Price will probably make the decision.</p><p><br /></p><p>BASICALLY I&#039;m saying what&#039;s eye catching, very pleasing and appealing to Jill is something Molly will walk past without a second look. Bob loves Chippendale; Mary says NO WAY, American Centennial only. And Mike and Molly won&#039;t look at anything but Hepplewhite.</p><p><br /></p><p>AF. you like antiques and enjoy furnishing your house with them. You also like Queen Anne Style houses. I really also love those. Beautiful........... but I prefer to live in a Frank LLoyd Wright house which I will decorate with many antique items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, but as a Real Estate Broker since 1961 I encountered hordes of home buyers who were very clear and precise with what style they wanted. And I listened to their comments on many houses AND <u>the contents</u>, but I quickly learned to sell them what they <u>really wanted</u>, even though it was usually between 75 and 99.9% opposite their initial preference. No mistaking when brought to just the right house. Their eyes lit up and the check book was out quickly. That is the reason I luvved, loved, really really enjoyed making a living by making others happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Life stays interesting because our wants, tastes, desires, change slowly but more frequently than we anticipated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
