Become an Antiques Shop Owner

Open Your Own Antiques Shop

If you love the excitement of discovering treasures and want the freedom and financial rewards of having your own retail business, then opening an antique shop is for you.

About a Career as an Antiques Shop Owner

When you open an antique shop, you have the freedom to make your own choices and express your own creative spirit. You can focus your antiques business on what you are most passionate about.

For example, you might choose to sell antique furniture, antique jewelry, movie or music memorabilia, native handiwork, antique toys, or any other types of antiques and collectibles.

If you sell antiques on consignment, you will have less risk than most types of retail businesses because you can fill your antiques shop with inventory without paying until it's sold.

Antiques are more in demand than ever before, thanks to popular television shows such as Antiques Roadshow. While many people inherit treasured antiques, those who collect antiques are usually wealthy.

As the owner of an antique shop you can profit from your passion in a number of ways. In addition to selling antiques, you might offer services such as restoring antiques or antiques consulting. When you take trips to go antiquing, it will no longer be just for fun, it will be for business.

Do you want to sell antiques that you already own? Whether your antiques are family heirlooms or items you've found or bought, this valuable insider guide will give you expert advice of professional antiques dealers to help you learn the value of your antiques, find buyers, and avoid mistakes that could cost you money.

    The FabJob Guide to Become an Antiques Shop Owner will teach you how to achieve success in the antiques business. You will find everything here from the information you will need to open an antiques shop to the tips and tricks for buying and selling antiques that only industry insiders know.”

    Carol Ruth Kennedy, Cave Creek, AZ:

    My regular job was not bringing in enough money and I realized I would need an additional stream of income. Due to my love of antiques I decided to try buying and selling over the internet without doing enough research; I bought some really great antique dolls but found my outlets for selling them were not promising. Then I happened onto your website and discovered your guide. My first thought was “shall I spend a little more money and see what it says?” What a surprise! The guide was more than I ever hoped for with tons of information about everything you might need to start a new business. You sure get a lot for your money.”

          "I'm currently an English teacher in South Korea (returning to the States in a few months), so ordering a quick and simple ebook from FabJob.com prevented the hassles of having to order overseas. FabJob.com has given me the confidence to dive in, just like I've always wanted to, whereas before I felt shaky and without a mentor. I'll always go through this ebook for future questions especially during my first year. Thanks!"

In many ways, I could not have gone through the starting year without it. This year I am expanding my operation and I was panic stricken for a while to find out that I lost the e-book. I wrote to FabJob about it and in less than an hour I received another copy of it. Congratulations to FabJob! You have great books and your customer service is amazing."
