Antiques On Broadway, Downtown Fargo

It’s been a few weeks, but we keep acquiring more stuff. We now have about another 30 Stephen King books. We brought in 2 more glass cases yesterday and moved a few things around to make room. There are many things we haven’t gotten to pricing yet. There’s model kits for cars, coca-cola stuff, neon beer signs, and all kinds of things to still be discovered in boxes.

Yesterday was the zombie pub crawl, and we saw barely any zombies go by. :(

We are also going to have our 5th year anniversary sale from Monday May 21 to Monday May 28, and most things will have various discounts on them.

It has been a little chaotic. We now have many more model kits or cars, truck, planes, and whatever else. There’s 2 big boxes full of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and other miscellaneous cars. We also have 2 more giant boxes full of comic books. There’s a few more M&M’s collectibles in their boxes. It’s a little messy around the counter, we are working on pricing things and finding places for them.

We have had 3 new dealers. We now have more sports cards, some fossils, and books. We have also obtained a lot of old children’s books, and some of them were Dr. Seuss books. It’s been a frantic first day doing all of the dealers’ rent calculations. We kept losing papers, then ran out of black ink for the computer, and the phone is still randomly cutting people off mid-sentence. We’re getting a new phone. More Batman, G. I. Joe, and M&M’s collectibles have been brought in. We’ve also sold a lot of furniture in the last 2 weeks, and it wasn’t easy carrying that stuff up stairs. It was an all day process. It has also snowed a lot in the past few days. All of the snow was pushed off of the sidewalks and into all of the parking spaces, so we had a day of nothing. Nobody walking in a blizzard and nowhere to park. We are still organizing and cleaning things all over.

Also for just an odd thing out of nowhere, everybody should type this in youtube and find the 9:10 video: “Jimmy Kimmel Pitches OWN Shows to Oprah”

We have acquired a lot of G.I. Joe toys recently, along with more hotwheels and other similar cars. We have a 12 piece Noritaki China set made of 91 pieces. Sold a buffet. We have 2 new dealers too. We also the Valentine’s sale 2-11-12 and Sunday 2-12-12. Nearly everything will be from 10% to 50% off.

We also have a chili cook-off Sunday 2-12-12 for our dealers. You can try a sample and vote for the best chili.

We’ve been trying to make space in a room to get most of the old toy tractors on some shelves, it’s a work in progress.
