GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR THE MOST PART I SPECIALIZE IN SUPPLYING ANTIQUE DEALERS ALTHOUGH I WILL DEAL WITH
MAJOR COLLECTORS WHO WILL BUY IN BULK OR FULL COLLECTIONS AT A TIME. DECORATORS CAN
BUY DIRECTLY OR SELL FOR COMMISSION. E-BAY SELLERS CAN BUY DIRECTLY OR SELL AT
APPROPRIATE COMMISSION. AUCTION HOUSES CAN SELL AT THE ACCEPTABLE COMMISSION RATE
I DO NOT DO ANY ANTIQUE SHOWS MYSELF BUT WILL ASSIST DEALERS BY SUPPLYING UNUSUAL
AND DISTINCTIVE MERCHANDISE.

TERMS AND METHODS OF BUYING
AS A DEALER WITH SPECIFIC NEEDS YOU MAY SELECT THE MERCHANDISE YOU WANT AND MAKE A
REASONABLE OFFER FOR EVERYTHING. i REPEAT REASONABLE. i KNOW THIS IS UNUSUAL BUT IT WORKS.A
DEALER WILL SELECT ITEMS THAT HE THINKS WILL SELL IN HIS SHOPAND THEREFORE HAS A FAIR IDEA AS
TO WHAT PRICE HE HAS TO BUY AT. I HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT CATEGORIES AND FULLY ADMIT THAT I
AM NOT SURE AS HOW TO PRICE ITEMS. I WANT DEALERS TO MAKE MONEY ON WHAT THEY SELECT FROM
ME AND BECOME A CONTINUING CUSTOMER AS OPPOSED TO A ONE-SHOT BUYER. A DEALER HAS TO
CARRY THE MERCHANDISE AROUND AND PROBABLY CLEAN AND POLISH ETC. NO MATTER WHAT PRICE I
PUT ON AN ITEM, IF THE DEALER STILL HAS IT IN STOCK THE NEXT TIME WE HAVE CONTACT HE WILL NOT
BE HAPPY. BY PLACING THE BURDEN OF PRICE ON THE BUYER I ALSO SHIFT THE BLAME. THIS METHOD
MIGHT PUT ME AT RISK BUT SO FAR I HAVE BEEN PLEASED AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY UINPLEASANT
TRANSACTIIONS
DEALERS, KNOWN TO ME, MIGHT ALSO OBTAIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ITEMS ON CONSIGNMENT FOR .. A
CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. UNSOLD MERCHANDISE MUST BE RETURNED IN A TIMELY FASHION AND
CONDITION AND REMITTANCES,LESS THE AGREED COMMISSION, MUST BE MADE PROMPTLY.
KNOWN AUCTION HOUSES CAN TAKE A FIXED QUANTITY OF MERCHANDISE FOR A CURRENT OR
FORTHCOMING AUCTION. REMITTANCES AND UNSOLD MERCHANDISE BE TIMELY.
EVEN THOUGH THE DOLLAR IS NOT WORTH MUCH ANYMORE, THE MERE SIGHT OF IT TENDS TO WARM MY
HEART AND GIVE FURTHER CONSIDERATION TO MORE FAVORABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
