it's hard work opening a resale shop when u dont have much money. always in debt and it's very hard to get out.

I wish you the best of luck.  I have always wished to do something like that.  My dream was to open a little shop and call it The Pocket-Book.  I would have two of my favorite passions - purses and books, either new or used.  But now I have developed some medical problems and don't have the energy.  That would be fun, though.

yes we had 2 sales already in the shop but the second one failed big time. we closed early on sunday. i took a to day to be there for the sale but we decided to do something else with the time. other that weekend we made a lousy 23$. the sale was very dead and so was the sales around us for a saturday. a nice saturday.

Good Luck to you! Having your own business can be a lot of work but it can also be a lot of fun. Make sure that you are constantly thinking of ways to keep that business flowing through the door. I had three corporations and ended up working all of the time but I was able to work from home, occasionally, and never missed my kid's events or their developmental years. The strongest of my corporations succumbed to the crushed mortgage/real estate market in 2005. I had worked every imagineable job since then but managed to fall into a more secure niche about fife years ago. Having worked some pretty atrocious jobs has turned me into a workaholic in an industry that pays me fairly well.

Good luck I love shopping in resale stores, going into business for myself is something I've always thought about, but have never had the funds to do it, let us all know how it's going.
