<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bookahtoo, post: 12925366, member: 31&quot;]I did Brimfield twice about 15 years ago when I had my store. It was fun but the work was brutal, especially as we set up own tent and brought ton a of heavy stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>My son did Brimfield this July with his girlfriend who owns an antique store. He did all of the heavy lifting, but then spent the week sitting next to the tent with three or four boxes of his ephemera. People were very enthusiastic and he had fun. BUT - he came to my house one evening and grabbed three boxes of Comic Books. He said he wanted to see how they&#039;d do.&nbsp; He LOVES his comic books. So the next morning, he pulled the 3 boxes out of the van and put them on the grass next to him. Within minutes a man that he knew was a comic dealer started looking through the first box and soon had 3 comics in his hands. My son silently got up, picked up the other 2 boxes and put them back in the van.&nbsp; Then he went back the man and said &quot;I&#039;m really sorry. I thought I was ready to sell these but I realize I&#039;m not. I&#039;ll sell you the ones you have but I can&#039;t sell any more. I&#039;m really sorry&quot;.&nbsp; The guy left with the 3 comics and DS#2 was left with $600.I forgot to say that the man said </p><p>&quot;I DO understand.&quot; Hopefully they will laugh about it next time they meet.</p><p><br /></p><p>So anyway, his girlfriend can&#039;t do it in September so he&#039;s going by himself. He&#039;s going to sell ephemera, smalls and a few pieces of&nbsp; nice furniture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
