The Ultimate Consignment & Thrift Store Guide8 reviews
Carolyn Schneider

Consignment & Thrift Store Publishing, 1998

SO MANY BARGAINS - SO LITTLE TIME

She names national thrift store "chains," ie the Discover Shops, Goodwill etc. and lists other outlets all over the U.S. and in other countries. Covering this much geography, is a FIRST that I have ever found. For those of us that travel, this is a Godsend. She even has a ...

One of three books I highly recommend to get when researching eBay selling and how to start an eBay consignment store.

This is where the author, Hilary DePiano shares her own experiences as a ...

I own a small gallery because I love art and artists, but I was not prepared for the variety of business and legal headaches that this field could produce.
