    If they purchase used clothes today, maybe tomorrow they will consider purchasing used furniture and then sometime in the future they may become full blown Antiquers!!!

    Thought the article was interesting but not earthshattering, not anything that your average savvy Antiquer doesn't know already. Your thoughts?

    I've been teaching some about used furniture; may they take the lessons to heart.(LOL) Millenials and later go after things their parents had or grandparents did at about the time the buyer was born. It's probably the same for us, but some of us bought those things new.
