5. I shop at lots of these places.

I think lighting is important. I like when things are well lit, but there are not bright lights shining in my eyes.

They have lots of fairly affordable string lights and up lights now.

Sometimes I like to “find” a box of stuff under a table or just good stuff that’s in a box, seemingly forgotten. I think some dealers know that I like to dig a little bit.

Also, if I were you, I wouldn’t sell my display pieces…too hard to replace.

Edit to add: Good Luck to you!
