I want to start an antique booth in an antique store. They charge a fee per month plus 10% of your sales. Does anyone here have any information on how to manage one or any good tips for success?

Well... I'll tell you what I dislike in a booth or sale.
I don't like it when...
There is too much of one thing.
Not enough culture. (All English or all American ect...)
New items thrown in as fillers. Nothing bothers me more actually, it makes me apprehensive about buying the actual antiques if they are surrounded by fakes and new junk.
A million little itsy bitsy things to have to look at. I personally prefer two huge pieces to having to look through a hundred little pieces of nothing to get to the one special thing amid them. If I wanted to do that, I would buy a where's Waldo book.
What I love about a booth...
An over all theme but with different objects of all kinds that reflect all periods and kinds of collectable.
Beautifully kept and nice to look at. Clean and dusted and free of the occasional spider! EWWW...
I recently visited a booth and picked up an old Cloisonne box and when I opened the lid, hundreds of pissed off ants came streaming out all over me... I almost dropped it and broke it and the ants got all over me. You shouldn't get itchy and discusted while antique hunting!

The first thing I would do is ask the antique store if they would take some of your things in on consignment. That way you would avoid the monthly fee and only be charged a percentage on the items they sell for you.This is one way to get started and also see if your stuff will sell.Then if it really takes off selling great and you feel like it will pay for the booth each month plus 10% of your sells and you have the time to keep your booth stocked and well displayed.Then I would go for it.

Your call is Fahmy , a guy's call ...Why do you pretend to be a woman with a goddess person call .. are you able to describe that. while you're a Muslim you sound very shallow , till you're a Copt pretending to be a Muslim and is the reason issues ... i do no longer see what's the factor of you accusing mosques of hate speech , and then eluding to terrorism, till you are attempting to accuse people who attend mosque of being terrorists that's actual a daft analogy. in case you go with for to hearken to hate speech music to Hayat channel (the christian one) that's comprehensive of lies and insults approximately Muslims , and replaced into customarily to blame for incitement of the hardship in Egypt. And heavily, you go with for us to have self belief a internet site called "sandmonkey" that's a racial slur against Arabs, with glaring "Anti-Jihadi" record ... does this sound like a respected internet site to anybody. Why do no longer you study the real information from Egyptian newspapers , and reference those for a metamorphosis. all your united states's newspapers say the guy who replaced into the criminal at the back of the violence replaced into Christian member of Hosni Mubarak social gathering , he's been arrested and could be positioned on trial. The Church burning is tragic besides the undeniable fact that it replaced into no longer intentionally finished and did no longer pop at once. you be attentive to on your united states there are various uneducated ignorant people who will respond to incitement regardless of faith from the two sides. And it is what occurred as those issues have been strengthen steam and did no longer initiate the day earlier at present. 2 weeks in the past some Egyptian Christians attacked and killed a Muslim relatives (mom, Father, & newborn) by using fact the girls named Salwa switched over to Islam 8 years in the past and married this Muslim guy, and that that they had a newborn together. yet i do no longer see anybody speaking approximately that , this is a foul crime isn't it. The western media in basic terms comments it whilst Christians are the sufferers , yet whilst Muslims are the sufferers they do no longer care
