<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Viper1357, post: 3252537, member: 17841&quot;]New to Antiquers and not quite an antique yet myself. What brings me here other than a shared interest in cool old stuff is I recently became a (small) dealer renting a 3&#039; x 6&#039; lighted case space in our local antiques mall and have a lot to learn.&nbsp; I started in Sept this year with just one shelf (in a basement &#039;consignment only&#039; case) to sell my coin ring jewelry (rings, pendants, etc.) after being just a customer buying some old coins from them for that purpose and striking up a conversation about it. One thing leads to another and I got the beginning shelf, and October moved into two shelves, December now three shelves, and just recently a dealer &#039;upstairs&#039; in the main walkway is leaving this Jan, so I was offered his full six shelf case for rent and not consignment. After some thought and number crunching I figured I could make it, so I took them up on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>So now I find myself looking at estate auctions, sales, etc. looking for bargains or even cool stuff that would be cool just to have/collect, but my wife also thinks all of my personal collection of vintage/antique stuff will be nice to put at the antiques store. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m hoping to learn a few and/or a lot of things about antiques and vintage stuff because I didn&#039;t realize how much I didn&#039;t know, until I&#039;m now having to try to buy and sell some things for my new (somewhat $$ committed) hobby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
