Start and Run a Profitable Secondhand Store
The book not only gives great business information but it gives the fun side of selling secondhand items, such as meeting new people and making money. After reading this book, it gave me the inspiration to continue with my dream to open a secondhand or resale shop which I'll be opening summer of 2000!

Book of Treasures
This is a great book for those interested in antiquing, yard sales, flea markets, or just love the hunt for the perfect treasure. In Part I, the authors cover different types of collectibles: sporting goods, books, computers, clothes and more. In Part II, they discuss in depth, the business of owning a secondhand store as-well-as adding stories and tips from current secondhand store owners. I recommend this book for anyone who has even a slight interest in secondhand goods. If you want to sell treasures from home or rent/buy a secondhand store, this book covers it all. I found it easy to read and I picked up many useful tips for secondhand buying.

MUST Be Good...
I havn't read it yet, but it MUST be good, because my local library system had two copies, which are "lost." As a longtime patron and bookscout/seller, I know this really means STOLEN.

Since our library only charges a maximum of $6.00 for lost books, it's hardly a disincentive for thieves, unfortunetly for people like me. (When I wrote this, Amazon had no copies, and used copies are around $55.)

I will eventually buy a copy, and do a real review after that. Just thought I would add this tidbit.
