Have you ever wondered what the home of an antique dealer looks like? Maybe you've seen on TV or in the movies the elegant displays of fabulous antiques? Well, here's a bit of a reality check for you. This is a photo of my basement work area. It's a bit cluttered with lots of "merchandise" waiting to be processed (that means cleaned, cataloged, and priced). The stereo system is too big for any other part of the house so it is relegated to the basement along with me. I considered showing a photo of my main floor office, but its not much better than the basement work area. This is why many of us stay in the "business" even through times of weak sales - we have too much stuff to get rid of.
Enjoy a chuckle (or groan) at my expense. Maybe in a future post, I'll provides more insights into the life of an antique dealer.
