Loving the Antique and Collectibles Business

Learning this business has been a history lesson since day 1. And it has been a lot more fun than sitting in class. We have been fortunate enough to have found our enthusiam for auctioning in Western North Carolina, just 4 short years ago. There was always a great auction within a 100 mile radius. Now we are on the coast, and it has been another story altogether. For instance, this weekend, there are 139 auctions within a 150 mile radius of our old Zip Code 28040. But here, on the coast, there are 29 auctions within a 150-mile radius of our new Zip Code. (But who's counting). And it's yet another thing to find a good one in those 29. And if there is a good one, all the dealers are there, friends bidding against friends. Yet, it seems to be a good time for all. Everyone still walks away with at least one good find. And isn't that what it is all about...the thrill of the find!
