[QUOTE="OMBRE ROBINSON, post: 3082519, member: 17554"]Hello This seems like a very informative group! Laying here thinking of my ultimate plan of the next 5 years. Buying land, building a huge storage shed, a quit little house and a garden all while selling Antique furniture both locally and online. I am 43, with no retirement plan. I figure with good credit and some money saved I can just retire selling Antique furniture. I have sold vintage items and clothing on and off via Etsy, its definitely one of my true passions(I have several). Currently I found this wonderful huge 40' X 40" Brass Mid-century wall art deco by Egidio Casa Grande. I told myself that if I sell that piece then I will take it as a sign to start selling big items! But first I have a few questions.... 1. How does one ship large antique items? What is the over head looking like? 2. How is the financial forecast in selling Antique Furniture via online(I have great photo and marketing skills) and locally(depending state).? 3. If one has SSI and a small business, can one live a "good, peaceful, laid back life" selling Antique furniture?[/QUOTE]
