The antique business
| The antique business including second hand thrift - rare antiques
and art. The antique business has 3 basic parts: source of supply, re-distribution, and outlets. Goals, and proposal for creating the new business model/structure for the secondary market for personal property. I am looking for someone out there who is looking for a great investment opportunity to blow the lid off the secondary market. Introduction: This proposal is non-traditional. The personal property market is non-traditional. You will not find too many college coerces on the antique/auction market, or sources of supply for re-sale on the secondary market. In fact the secondary market for goods just might be the last real supply and demand driven business model left. Un-regulated, and un-structured. How many franchisees do you find? Perhaps a few. The thrift market is so big that charity operations propped up to save the land fills from over filling. Why? because the source of supply is too unstable, and the wide range of items found are a wide Varity. Logistics, and technology is not developed to handle the biggest market the world has, next to real estate, bar none. Thinking of the secondary market for personal property as ALL goods that accumulate from ALL retail locations. Business to business, motor vehicles, and equipment as well. That is all of these goods that don't end up in a land fill some where, but this will be talked about later. This is called " rag-out" |
