First of all you have to understand the product your selling. You can't be too personal with it. Meaning, don't go obtaining things "you" are interested in. It's what the public wants. Understand the field. Which for my is Retro-Vintage. It understand the timeline. I lived it. So, it's way easier for me to find
.
But there is somethings like "high end" stuff, I have to actually study the product individually. You can't get lazy. Information comes in the form of books, magazines, other sellers, antiques shows, Internet, garage sales, even TV. You can't go around carrying a book with you (notes, yes). You have to get a very keen eye developed.
My spot at Rancocas Woods in Mt. Laurel, NJ is a perfect start for me. It's small, but I can grow. Maybe to even to get my own store. It's just the real beginning, starting now.
